Great job not tinkering with that 5 for 36 top of the lineup.

Smrt.

[David Dennison 18947]

Also, watching CFM pitch a post-season game at Dodger Stadium is making me very angry at Jim Crane.

That seems to me like a strange combination of players speaking up.

The bats need to wake up today and put a Sox like hurting on them from the get go.

You wanted to move George out of the lead off spot after WS G1 in ‘17 didn’t you?

[TexArcher 38070]

I think managers get a little too clever this time of year with the shuffling of lineups.  Put your best lineup together based on the pitcher (beyond lefty or righty, as in, can we run on this guy, or is he primarily a fastball pitcher, etc) and let them go to work.  The "shaking things up" approach always struck me as superstition or as a way for a manager to take credit when a team that's a little due busts out of it.

I refuse to believe that Biggio and Bagwell struggled in the playoffs because the manager didn't pull the right strings.  That's as silly as giving the manager credit for Springer and Altuve in 2017.  Some guys perform under pressure and some don't, and it barely makes a shit what order you bat them.

[Scraps 13581]

They get too clever about everything...and jackasses on here are 3 times more clever

I did a random pool last night for first astros homer and had Tucker

Did the same tonight and have Yuli. I would gladly take an L on this if we hit 3 before yuli even comes up

[tx 3 putt 77442]

Is there a prop bet for the Altuve triple play ?

[StruggleBus 3922]

WE ARE GOING TO WIN

Wonder what the vet pep talk was...

 

Hey, motherfuckers, we have a chance to face the Braves for the World Series.  Come the fuck on.

[WBT 20670]

Buehler taking his cue from the Astros starters?  Nah, who am I kidding, we'd kill to have a starter make it to the 4th.

[StruggleBus 3922]

We need to throw them off guard and start the closer

That was the first pitch Pivetta actually got in the zone.

[rvm96 1643]

The FS1 announcer baited me. They thought it was a fly ball out

[UTHornFan014 710]

Is that what a lead feels like?!?!?

ford didn't sound particularly interested until the ball actually went over the wall. 

[Hornsbay22 470]

Bregman had a strategy that just might work.  Get ahead in the count then smoke a fastball.

Greinke always sounds like he's throwing 102, lmao.

[Rockethorn1978 6102]

Lol they are talking like we are using greinke as a strategy. Uhhh we don’t have anyone else guys that’s why he’s pitching and we’re hoping he has some magic.

[LTtxfan 49358]

[TexArcher 38070]

"If he's not gonna get that call, that's okay, even though it might've been a strike"

What the fuck does that even mean?

Fuck you.

[David Dennison 18947]

Yeah.
