Y’all are entirely too sensitive about it. He’s no more snarky on Twitter than Mike Finger.

That lineup has me hard. Sun Peña and that should be the playoff lineup. 

[tx 3 putt 76,906]

Go Hensley Go !

Good luck with that. Maldy is going to probably catch JV, LMJ, and Framber. 

That said, Chas and Diaz in the outfield intrigues me.

Sidebar:  Holy Crap Nolan Ryan got old.  

Still looks like he could kick Ventura's ass, tho.

[tx 3 putt 76,906]

we might have won the verlander trade - 60-18 in his 99 starts here. 2.2ish era, whip has never been above 1. 

 

The Astros sent right-hander Franklin Perez (No. 3 Astros prospect, per MLBPipeline.com), outfielder Daz Cameron (No. 9) and catcher Jake Rogers (No. 11) to the Tigers

[Guadaloopy 10,960]

Get it together, Urquidy.  

[Guadaloopy 10,960]

Nice escape.

He could have escaped with no damage if Hensley had covered second.

He could have escaped with only 1 run if Hensley had covered second either time

Umm… they only scored one.

Garcia out in the bullpen, getting prepped for his playoff role ?

Wrong.  Kemp scored on Murphy’s single.  The shift which kept Hensley from covering (not a mistake on his part) ended up being a non-factor.  

[tx 3 putt 76,906]

kemp'n aint easy 

Edited September 17, 2022 by tx 3 putt

[WBT 20,561]

It ain't easy.  Leadoff triple, scores on sac fly.

[runthebone 7,975]

Interesting strategy by Urquidy tonight

[runthebone 7,975]

Knew he was going to give up another home run.  He's gone plaid again.

Javier needs to be game 4 ALCS starter.

[D3zii 3,678]

Bruh WTF!?!? 

[rvm96 1,643]

I switched over to the UT football game at 7. How is Irvin still in the game?

If Urquidy doesn’t turn it around in his last couple of starts, his playoff roster spot has to be in jeopardy. He has pitched the worst out of the six starters lately and I don’t think he is a good fit as a bullpen arm. Won’t be a popular decision in the dugout but tough titty.

Why take him out- so you can put in Maton?  He (and Garcia) should make the roster if for no reason other than if we are getting it shoved up our ass and want to waive the white flag they have enough length to go 5 and finish the game while saving our higher leverage arms for the next day, and they obviously have enough experience and talent that they might keep us in the game and give us a chance to come back. They are the fuys you bring on down 5-1 in the 3rd inning if it Goes down that way. That’s more valuable than Maton imo. 
but yeah- the idea of staring him over Javier is absurd. It absolutely needs to be JV/Framber/LMJ and Javier in that order. 

[Storm the Field 5,294]

Ohtani did us a solid last night.  Threw 7 scoreless and provided all the offense in a 2-1 win over Seattle.

Magic number is down to 3. Let's take it down to 2 this afternoon.

Not sure you need Garcia or Urquidy in the ALDS but agree on at least one for the ALCS.

Oh I agree that you probably don’t need them in the ALDS. It’s just I’d have them on there because you probably don’t need them while I KNOW you don’t need Maton.
