Rays have announced their going to a 4-man rotation of Archer, Eovaldi, Faria, and Snell. 

Aaaand the rest of the story goes like this.....     ...."For at least the first few weeks of the season, that is"  https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/after-trading-odorizzi-the-rays-are-planning-to-use-a-four-man-rotation-in-2018/

So basically the same BS that every team does in April with off days...

You could use the same argument for a six man rotation. Let’s meet in the middle and call it a 5-man rotation and call it a day.

Actually, I haven't called it anything, so -- no need to bargain..    You slanted what was being said... I chose to point out what was actually said.     They will use four guys the first few weeks of April because of off-days...

Business as usual.

Actually the article I read indicated six weeks. My point being is that the Angels have only indicated a six-man rotation to start the season. 

Lighten up ... this is just a message board. No wrong in having a little fun with the idea

What is it with people that think others are upset?  LOL...  If you think your comments on a message board carry that much weight with others, it's you that needs to lighten up.  

As far as the Angels go -- it sounds more and more like it will be 6 guys juggling five rotation spots -- ala what the Dodgers did last year.

Gee, here is a piece taking the same position on all the talk about the Angels employing a 6-man rotation that I have gone on record taking (and being called crazy for it).

Note the iteresting last line in the piece, saying exacting what I have been saying.
