  1. Please God let Rodon come out throwing upper 80s.
  2. I think if we're up then they should use him today. If we're down then maybe save him for game 5 so we can avoid having to rely on the pen for more than a couple of innings.
  3. Horrible matchup. Will likely end in a double though bc why not.
  4. Lmao if Souza scores the game tying run.
  5. I don’t think he’s 2018 Sale, but he’s still pretty damn good.
  6. I think at mid-season the Astros had better pitching, but Garcia has fallen off and Greinke imploded. Plus, Sale is back. IMO, Eovaldi, E-Rod, Sale/Pivetta > LMJ, Framber, Garcia/Urquidy.
  7. You would walk Kike to load the bases and bring up the substantially better hitter with platoon advantage?
  8. The Rays’ offense was smoke and mirrors and their pitching hasn’t been that strong in the second half. Plus it’s the playoffs, so anything can happen. I’d put the Astros as a slight favorite over the Red Sox should they advance. They are the better hitting and far better fielding team but the lack of pitching might catch up to them.
  9. The Rays just didn't have enough pitching in this series. I don't know why some thought they would win this series fairly easily.
  10. To be fair to Dusty, he’s been given a tough hand. We basically have two dependable SPs, a guy who’s obviously out of gas in Garcia, and a guy who’s not bad but also gives up too much hard contact in Urquidy. On top of that you have a pen with a bunch of LOOGYs and ROOGYs capped by a very good closer. Click should get more blame for not doing enough to fix this pitching staff.
  11. There were multiple runners on with the lead hanging in the balance. Indeed, the three highest leverage ABs faced by the Astros pitching staff in the entire game were the three pitched by Yimi. Keep in mind, Yimi has a .456 xwOBA against LHB since September 1, the worst mark on the entire team. That's malpractice. Just admit it. https://www.fangraphs.com/plays.aspx?date=2021-10-10&team=White Sox&dh=0&season=2021
  12. Maton was probably the best option because he's fairly good against both RHB and LHB. Yimi is horrible against LHB.
  13. Some of y'all need to grow some thicker skin. Other players, coaches, members of the media, etc., are going to keep talking shit. I'm a lot more triggered by Dusty bringing in Yimi to face of a pair of switch hitters mid-AB than by the comments of some dumbass middle reliever.
  14. Our defense looks like something Tech would put out. A group that has a handful of good players followed by a bunch of JAGs ad bereft of any big-time play makers. Opposing fans (and not just casuals) hardly know who any of them even are because they aren’t worth knowing.
  15. Kansas was more embarrassing, but it was basically Charlie being Old Yeller’d. Sucks but it meant unequivocally that we would be moving on. Beating OU would have been huge for this program and if one or two of a hundred things in the second half of our way we hang on. Imagine what a win yesterday with a clear path to the Big 12 title game would have meant for recruiting.
  16. This game was an abomination. We can talk about how well we performed to build the initial lead but honestly this OU team isn’t very good and more importantly a good Coaching staff finds a way to hang onto that lead. it’s not the final say on this coaching staff but it’s a damning data point.
  17. Im so down bad I agree with the OP. Who even fucking cares. anymore.
  18. This post would be nearly equally applicable to the 2013 OU game. There just no reason to think things will ever change unless it’s beyond all doubt they have changed.
  19. The thing is, it’s much easier to shut down a RB than a QB or even a WR. Good defenses are going to take him away like Arkansas did and OU more or less did in this game.
  20. Just a terrible job by the coaching staff unable to bring that win home. At the same time this team just isn’t very good and won’t be for years. I’m starting to agree with others that if we don’t start cheating like all the rest this team is simply going to be mediocre until most of the posters on this board are dead.
  21. This team. This program are just cursed. We’re not competing for anything of any importance for another 20 years.
  22. Need a sack so bad.
  23. Defense is going to have to make a big play here. Need a pick or something
  24. Down to one receiver worth a shit.
  25. Majors fucking sucks.
