It's why I skipped games 1 and 2 of the ALCS (and the other 3 ALDS games). Definitely thinking about not turning it on, but it's hard to keep skipping.

If you sacrifice a chicken before 1st pitch, you can watch

As i tell lilshep, enjoy these past 6 years of astros baseball as much as possible. Generations of fans never saw this amount of sustained success. Wish my grandfather and dad were around to see this. Greatest time to be a astros fan. Know i waited 36 years for it in 2015.
Most important game tonight. Need to start breathing orange fire

Yeah, but we cheated so it doesn't mean as much.

Siri might have a great game but Chas has been hot and he’s reliable. Don’t agree with the move. 

I don't mind the move because Siri is on the playoff roster and will more than likely be called upon to PH, run,  or as a defensive substitution, so this is a good time to get his feet wet. Chas is game-ready, as is Meyers, but we need to get Siri ready as well. I like the idea of getting him at bats tonight and I like the swagger he brings. I'm not gonna bitch about our #8 hitter having less plate discipline than Brantley or Bregman when he sports an OPS of 1.078 vs lefties (yes, small sample size but his OPS vs LHP in AAA was .957). Swang and bang.

Is this the HOU-ATL world series thread yet?

[elfenix 34171]

turn on your radio and listen to ford and sparky and F5 this thread for any highlights. 

[Mez2 4021]

Siri gonna do the watch thing when he hits a deep fly ball he thinks is over the fence only to get thrown out at first. 

 

 

[billfromlaketravis 11358]

I like the Siri move. The guy has some serious pop and is a better defender than Chaz. 
 

That said, a healthy Meyers should be the Astros starting CF. 

[beer 3216]

Fucking Fox shit wads advocating continuously variable strike zone depending on the umpires judgement of the progress of the game to keep games under 4 hours.  Why don't we move to the tennis model instead? Let an impartial machine do it.

I like it too and think the consternation over this move is a bit over the top. He's not the guy who is supposed to be doing the heavy lifting in the lineup and he has some serious pop and speed for that place in the order. I realize the experience question is important but nobody does anything until they've actually done it. I'd rather Siri get broken in this game than later in the series. 

[TexArcher 37508]

Yeah, I have no problem at all with Siri getting a start tonight.

less than ideal

 

[Mo Horn 8807]

Ok, let's see how JP starts off. We may know early how tonight is going to go. 

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Right where we want them

[Limp Brisket 546]

They’ll tee off on E-Rod eventually.

This ump has been all over the place. Pick a zone and stick with it.

[elfenix 34171]

123 is nice

[Gourmand 7774]

nice first inning Urquidy

 

[Rip76 4913]

Very nice

[TexArcher 37508]

Nice, pop-ups are nice.

[Mo Horn 8807]

Nice 11 pitch inning

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

JU looked damn good that inning.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Put up a crooked number here and let him go back to work with a lead.

[TexArcher 37508]

Yordan's going deep tonight.

[beer 3216]

That's how I look at bat

[billfromlaketravis 11358]

I guess the thinking is they should pitch Garcia as often as possible at home, so he got the ball in Game 2. It still doesn’t explain starting him in Game 3 against the White Sox. 
 

Urquidy needs the ball more.

Why are we not swinging at pitches down the middle?

Good question.. they seem hesitant

[TexArcher 37508]

E Rod looks pretty sharp.

[Rip76 4913]

Ouch

[Tommy Nobis 905]

God damn we’re getting mowed down.

[Mo Horn 8807]

JP gonna have to match

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

Need JU to keep it together so this lineup can get to Rodriguez 2nd and 3rd time around. They are about to start teeing off on that first pitch down the middle shit.

[Scraps 13540]

Well that was some wack shit
