Pregame Notes: I removed Mason Foster from the postseason roster and replaced him with Yasutoki Ine, mainly for offensive purposes. Neither one is a "feared" hitter, but Ine doesn't strikeout. Plus with a roster full of utility players removing one wasn't going to hurt as much...

Game 1 (Probably to win 53.92% to Cavaliers) :
Ron Reilly (0-3 8.04 vs Norfolk Cavaliers this season)
Don Sweetapple (2-1 2.41 vs Annapolis this season)

We are really missing Candy or Pablo in the #5 hole, we just have no protection for Derek without them. Not sure if batting Augusto should hit #5, but he will get the opportunity...Note I ended up moving Jacob Chaney to #5 and sliding everyone else down.
