Yessir.  I put myself on a 7-2 work schedule today.

This is the best time of the year. Football and playoff baseball. 

 

 

[Rickylovesweed 15555]

It's funny how people continue to criticize the Astros for the "cheating" scandal yet they want everybody in our organization. 

 

[kevwun 16444]

It's only pretend outrage.

“Ex-Astro cheater, Joe Musgrove, was taught to cheat by the cheatingest organization in the history of cheating. If the Padres beat the Dodgers, it will be invalid because of those cheating Astros   “

You should've told your boss you're going to the game, like me.

The only change I might make to that roster would be Martinez instead of one of Garcia/Urquidy.

Roster looks good. Exactly as I expected it would be.  I would have left Dubon off the roster as well just so Dusty had no chance to fuck with it at all and put him in there, but I suppose a note from the owner that said he would be summarily fired if Dubon sets foot on the field absent him being the absolute last person possible to play would also be sufficient.

I get where you are coming from on that, and I wouldn't say you are wrong, but Garcia and Urquidy both give you a little more length.  At any rate, neither Martinez nor Garcia/Urquidy are going to be pitching in any scenario where the Astros aren't way ahead or way behind, so it's probably quibbling about nothing of any real importance. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2117]

I would have maybe had Martinez over one of Garcia, Urquidy or Dubon but it’s mostly as expected. Martinez just knows his role and has been damn good. 
Alright boys, let’s saddle up and #LevelUp!

and please sweet 10 lb baby Jesus let Gurriel find one more 15 game or so hot streak, Maldonado hit like the last couple months and Mancini hit like his first two weeks here! 🤘🏻

I said the same thing about having Martinez and as I was writing it I was thinking he isn’t going to pitch in one inning leverage spots probably and wouldn’t be long role either so I guess Garcia or Urquidy make sense.

[tx 3 putt 78717]

Jump on these guys early, get to the bullpen. These guys are dangerous and on a hell of a hot streak

Martinez makes every other playoff roster.

He's been really good against RHB.  If Toronto would have won you might have seen him on the roster and you might actually see him pitch to some of their better pockets of RHB in the 4th or 5th inning if the game happened to play out that way.

Damn, shocked to see mancini in the line up. Hope he proves me wrong but he’s an auto out. I’d rather see Hensley out there

[runthebone 8379]

Pena's batting second, so the rest of the order doesn't matter.

 

Hope Mancini figured something out during the 5 days off.

[TexArcher 39074]

Said it before, but Bregman is gonna fuck in this postseason.

And I have a strange feeling that we're gonna get a nice contribution from Mancini.  Maybe a ribbie or two today, or a big pinch hit at some point.

[tx 3 putt 78717]

Mancini can redeem himself, the first time they throw at Alvarez, he can come out of the dugout swinging 

[Mez2 4048]

Biggest game of the year boys, see yall downtown in a few.

 

Let's fucking go!
