Homemade box? Or where’d you get it from

Homemade, buddy. One of many Covid stay at home projects as I got into woodworking. TV was there first so built to fit it.

I got tied up with work and didn't start watching until Altuve walked with the bases loaded and Brantley knocked in 2, then Valdez closed them out.. so you're welcome 

Ok this is getting weird and I 100% SWEAR its a true story.  I forgot about the early start and saw the 1-0 and 1-1 scores pop up on the phone. Turned the TV on and checked the channels I thought the game might be on but the other games were on. Did a search and apparently Uverse only had tbe game on ESPN deportes. 

I flip it over there and literally the first pitch I see is Correa going upper tank...

Down Cole, Verlander, Alvarez, Osuna from last year.... 2nd round of playoffs is impressive.

[kevwun 15653]

So I'm guessing another daytime start on Monday?

No complaints from me.  Really makes the workday faster when I can sit on the couch with my laptop and "work" 

[kevwun 15653]

Yeah, I'm not complaining at all.  It is a nice distraction at work.

[WBT 20422]

So we don't play until Monday.  Urquidy and Javier would be on normal 4 day rest, Greinke and Framber would be on 5 days and LMJ on a week+.  So who starts when?  The next round is 5 games in 5 days though, so do we go back to a normal, 1 starter per game setup?  Having to rely on our normal relievers would make me nervous but we can't really burn all of our starters in the first 3 games.

[tx 3 putt 76403]

LMJ needs to pitch, he doesn't good on long rest

you start grienke, he's a very much a creature of habit

3 games in 3 days, bro.

 

[UTexasFight 9380]

Hadn’t thought about this but we’re home team for game 1, 2 and 5 if white Sox win their series

Will be LMJ’s first appearance at dodger stadium since the TJ injury

I think it will be Greinke, LMJ, Urquidy, then Framber and Greinke ( if necessary). Javier in the BP.  It’s possible that Dusty will flip Javier with Framber. 

[kevwun 15653]

Frambler needs to start in the first 3 games and I would rank Urquidy above Lance in the pecking order.

Edited September 30, 2020 by kevwun

[Ichabod 184]

Lance needs to come out of the bullpen 

[kevwun 15653]

They could let him do long relief in Greinke's start.  I don't think you can pair him with Frambler again in a 5 game series.

[Guadaloopy 10926]

The cool thing is that Dusty has options that don’t suck.  

[UTexasFight 9380]

no way Framber gets the ball for the first time in game 4.

Even if you ignore the fact that he is our best pitcher in 2020 (and it’s not really close), starting him in game 4 means you only get him once in the LDS and if you get through to the LCS, game 3 would be his first availability on normal rest.

I don’t know the right answer. Will depend on the matchup.

dont really like Grienke and Framber back to back. Would like Urquidy in between them. 
don’t want lance starting. Just don’t trust him outside of MMP Park this year. Maybe the neutral site or pitching when we’re the designated home team will somehow arbitrarily help

Dusty Baker wins his 4th playoff series!

[UTexasFight 9380]

When does MLB/ESPN/FOX/etc flip from “astros...so shameful with the cheating scandal.” to “what a resilient ball club overcoming so much adversity in a year when no one alive has experienced this much adversity.”

 

I peg it at game 7 of the World Series when were up 13-2 in the 9th

 

[WBT 20422]

Yeah, depends on if we keep winning.  Ravech and Kirkjian started talking about how we were a fun team to watch and how talented we were today.  The media loves to bandwagon a winner.

[Pimphand 5598]

So are you rooting for the A's or the White Sox?  I'd assume the Sox?

Sox because of home team. A's because we want Fiers bitch ass. It honestly don't make a shit.

I'm 0-0, but I live 15 minutes from Globe Life Field/Park so as an Astros fan I would feel obligated to go.

Correa continues to be the HTown MVP
