If Tampa upset CLE, would the Astros get them in the ALDS, or is Houston tied to the other series, regardless?

Hunter is filthy. Unfortunately it was probably the last home for team shep this season. Let's get ready for a great post season.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if we don't put him in the bullpen

We aren’t putting him in the bullpen. 
Lance Z and John were calling for LMJ to go game 2 and Framber to go game 3. The stats for LMJ at home vs road are incredibly compelling (both this year but more importantly throughout his entire career) while Framber is a little better on the road than at home. 
I think my rotation would be JV/LMJ/Framber/JV/Javier. That JV in game 4 is on a full 4 days rest. I doubt that’s what we do though, but I think that would be my preference. If it is set up that way you could have Javier available to do bullpen duty in game 1, but I don’t think I’d mess with it past that.

The rare perfect sports results day: Astros & Horns win, Sooners and aggy lose.  And I just checked in for a week at Turtle Bay.   Life is good today.

Anyone discouraging Wulaw from sharing vacation plans/stories hasn’t been around this place very long or is oblivious to some of the best content on the Surl.

Click pre game - scouting all teams in person and scouting ourselves. Want to make sure we haven’t fallen into any tendencies, tipping the other team. You can’t catch everything just watching video

Didn't see the play, but I do know he seems pretty lost at the plate. Not much good to us if he sucks at the plate AND in the field.

if you're not hitting, you better a beast on defense 

[runthebone 8380]

Mancini sure sucks

[tx 3 putt 78737]

AL teams out in the field are going have to have bunt in the back of their heads now

[runthebone 8380]

Good sixth starter, huh.

Spotrac  says his $10M 2023 mutual option includes a $250,000 buyout. I hope that means we can buy him out and isn’t just the player’s choice.

Nope. It’s fully mutual meaning either side can’t say thanks or no thanks. Possible if we say no thanks we have to also give him that check.

104!  Never in doubt

Astros win!

[Gut Wagon 8219]

No such thing as an easy 9th these days. But hopefully that's just good seasoning for our bullpen as the real season starts.

Home field against everyone but the dodgers. 
Dodgers really got hosed worse than us. Mets then Braves or Braves then Mets (most

likely). Buckle up bastards.

I'm very impressed with the strides that team has made. Would love to see their young core unseat the high and mighty Yanks for a few years running. 

[Scraps 13811]

Another win....know who was batting 2nd?

[tx 3 putt 78737]

MMP has been very good for this team / franchise / fan base ....

 

[tx 3 putt 78737]

Garcia was sick / under the weather. he has plenty of time to get well before the playoffs 

 

[Storm the Field 5367]

104-55 already has us at our 2nd winningest season in franchise history. Obviously if we sweep the Phillies we can tie 2019, but I think we'll take 2/3 and finish 106-56. 

I will gladly eat a small spoonful of crow. I figured we would comfortably win the division, but at something like 94-68. I definitely didn't expect to give the 2019 squad a run for its money. Mostly because I sure as shit didn't expect the pitching staff to be this fucking good.

3 more games to fine tune .........

Phillies’ twitter is saying Dusty won’t rest anybody in the series.

Dusty said he wouldn't either....integrity of the game. Phillies and Brewers still got a shot.

If phillies clinch i could see that changing.

I believe the bye is 5 days right? I’d play everybody too. 

[tx 3 putt 78737]

Make them run the stands after the game too !

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

a couple of concerns going into the playoffs:

- Valdez has been shellshocked lately

- Cleveland is hot AF

 

Also, I'd like to see Hunter Brown as the closer when Pressly can't make it if he pitched the night before, for example.
