Fangraphs has the Red Sox as 50.1% favorites.  I'm surprised.

edit - Well I swear that's what I saw earlier.  Now it shows us as a 50.3% favorite.  In any case, I think we should be a little bit bigger favorite than that.

Questionable bullpen and 2 reliable starters right now, one of which may or may not have an arm issue.

5-2 against Boston.  Urquidy, Valdez, Garcia all had wins.  Odorrizi had a win and a loss and we lost a Greinke start.

Yeah, but they're making odds for a series right now.  It's basically a toss up which seems right to me.  The Astros keep hitting and they'll win.

Red Sox offense is on fire… and did it against a better pitching staff than ours IMO.

hopefully they come back down to earth and hopefully the Red Sox pitching continues to give us free runners like the White Sox, who gave us 4.5 BBs per game. 18 totals walks is 5 more than the next closest playoff team.

When do playoff rosters have to be set ?

hoping LMJ and Meyers are a go

Meyers spoke with Julia in the celebration and indicated he thinks he will be okay, just a bit sore. Fingers crossed it is not serious.

If Jake and LMJ are a go, do we expect any changes?

drop siri for another arm?

Good question. In a short series we could get away with one less pitcher. Now, it might be advantageous to have another pitcher, especially with McCullers hurting right now. If the Game 4 production from the bullpen can be more consistent then maybe not. Boston has 3 really good LHB in Verdugo, Devers, and Schwarber. I think you have to replace Raley with Taylor.

I could be on board with Strom/FO mental long game leaving Odorizzi off LDS to see him come out mad as hell in LCS and be the surprise LCS MVP like scraps or whoever it was said.

 

 

…except he sucks

It's actually great if other teams still think we're stealing signs.

When Mike Scott was accused of scuffing the ball he said he would leave pieces of sand paper on the mound just to mind fuck other teams.

I think Raley and Taylor will both be on the roster.

Even if he is on the roster he wouldn't matter enough to win MVP.

Hey man, the Astros got some pitching concerns as well.  Nothing’s easy at this point.

The only way Odorizzi would be ALCS MVP is if the Red Sox win..and that shit ain't happening.

One of the benefits of being an Astros diehard is knowing that when October moments like yesterday happen, there are old friends, co-workers, and family members always thinking about you.

And probably mentioned but a buddy sent me:

our 4 infielders have played together in more playoff games than any infield foursome in history.

 

granted, “history” for that stat really starts in ‘95…first year of wild card. But still impressive. Nevermind the playoff game stat, I’m actual more impressed by having the same 4 starting infield for 5 consecutive years.

I’m not sure how I’m going to be able to handle the irony/hypocrisy of the deafening boos from Red Sox fans Monday against our infielders with cora looking on in the home team dugout

Houston fans better boo them in return.  They're cheaters too

I'd love to hear what Tepera's teammates had to say to him yesterday. Especially Dallas Keuchel.

Fuck him!  /hankconger

Cora is one of the main cocksuckers that got us into this fucking mess so fuck him

I'll say it, I actually like Cora and I cam see why he's loved by lots of players. I still wanna go Mola Ram on them and rip their fucking hearts out but as a coach, I like Cora.

We have bullshit every post season. I'll take the cheating scandal over the yammering on about Osuna's domestic abuse (while pitching opposite Aroldis Chapman) and the dumbass locker room comment and how our organization is anti woman.

La Russa calling us classless, when Tepera makes a baseless allegation that we are still cheating and after Altuve takes a high fastball in the elbow to the cheers of their slapdick fans, is way more enjoyable than the never ending Osuna drama. Especially when Altuve launches a ball at 110 mph out of the park.

Wherever you are, Jeff Luhnow, good morning and thank you for being the GM goat Houston needed.
 

Bring Luhnow back. I will always love that man. He got royally and unfairly fucked over for something he wasn’t responsible for
