If you want to start a new thread every week do it but I have no idea why it even matters or it's probably not something we need an Official Ruling on. Do whatever your heart tells you is right.

The last one should have only been a weekly but I titled it badly, probably partially due to the lovely joke I was trying to make.

The only reason to have weekly threads is because no thread title joke can possibly remain funny for more than seven days.

The rotation I remember fearing in my dumb young days was Hughes/Joba and then the killer B's of Brackman/Banuelos/Betances. Kennedy and Tyler Clippard were also up there.

Of course, this paled in comparison to the sure-fire, ace-filled rotation of the Mariners, what with Felix/Fister/Pineda/Hultzen at the top :negative:

I think he dubbed it the Royal Flush and it was something like Hughes, Clippard, Garcia, Horne and Wang. I think it was before the Yankees drafted Kennedy and Chamberlain but I could be wrong.

edit: vvv ahaha good memory, that was definitely the dude "Royal Flush: Hughes, Sabathia, Betances, Brackman, Banuelos." I am pretty sure his Royal Flush has changed several times over the years
