Can I tell y’all a secret?  I’ve never really trusted JV in the post season. He’s had some absolute gems but he wouldn’t be the guy I picked to pitch for me if my life was on the line. he’s just kind of meh for his career in the post season and that is a long career by now. 
 

G1 of the ALDS after a full week off.  Not surprising.  I'll take him in G5 and feel great about it if this goes that long.  He will always be the 2017 ALCS MVP.

Sounds like Nolan

Hold them here and tie them up in the bottom of the inning

Has our hardest hit ball of the day

Third time through the order. Let’s get ‘Em boys. 

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

Great half inning.

PAY CORREA

[David Dennison 19444]

Good plan. Poor execution.

Logan Gilbert looks like Kenny Powers banged a rat.

Is Carlos Correa interested in a five year deal?

[Guadaloopy 11126]

Lots more baseball.  Bullpen do your thing, and bats eat Gilbert's lunch next inning,

[Wishbone 4930]

Right in the nut basket.

[Limp Brisket 549]

We’ll take the gift call.

[WBT 20895]

Using Javier in a game we're down 3 is criminally stupid.  He should be starting Thursday.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Just get one back here at least.

Was he ever going to start a game this series?

[Rockethorn1978 6204]

Javier was always the odd man out.  Valdez is starting Thursday 

[TexArcher 38851]

Damn, Bregman smacked that ball.  Good sign, anyway.

They are paying Pena a few hundred thousand a year, Correa isn't coming back.

[David Dennison 19444]

I'm going to take this opportunity to complain about the day off.

[TexArcher 38851]

Fuck yo shift!

You got another bomb in ya, Yuli...?

[Guadaloopy 11126]

That Bregman swing had me:

Warning track power the opposite way.  Until they start juicing the balls again at least.

[Guadaloopy 11126]

Ok... here we go.  Getting to the pen in the 6th leaves a lot of outs for Servais to get.

[Wulaw Horn 19563]

I’d send Tucker here to stay out of the DP.

Counterpoint-

if you are planning on starting him for game 4, and I think you should be, or Game 5 if you want to start JV in a game 4 instead, then he absolutely should pitch today to knock some rust off. 
 

[WBT 20895]

104 mph for Yuli.  He found the fountain of youth over the break.

[tx 3 putt 78501]

Let’s go mancini !

I hope that's it.  I fear it's the same old shit of putting him in the bullpen because "he's done it before" when he's one of our 2-3 best starters.

[Rickylovesweed 15318]

Feels like one of those days 

[tx 3 putt 78501]

Need to keep chipping away 

[Storm the Field 5362]

The big hit remains elusive.

[D3zii 3912]

The Astros bats always pick the best times to start sucking

[Gut Wagon 8214]

Mancini makes Meyers look like a hitter. Give Hensley a serious shot in this series. 

[elfenix 34665]

Fuck this game

I’m going to choose to believe management knows what it’s doing in the playoffs until they prove they don’t. The roster today was good confirmation of that for me. If they don’t pitch him as a starter it’s terminally stupid. 
BTW- he’s not that great a reliever if you want to go look at his stats there. 

[tx 3 putt 78501]

Damn
