It means he doesn't have 2 more days rest than JV had. He has 1 more day. Pretty clear.

Jim Valvano sold his soul to cancer to upset Phi Slamma Jamma.

Was anyone ever saying that except the voice in your head?

Or have you been on the Astros fan FB page?

Four days is normal rest for pitchers in a five man rotation.  You know, what 90 percent of MLB teams do for 162 games.   

4 days rest would be the norm for a 5 man  rotation if there were 0 travel days.  Tell me, in how many weeks this year, did the Astros play seven games with no off days?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Now would be a good time to score some runs

Go ask any starting pitcher, pitching coach, manager, etc. in MLB and ask what normal rest for a starting pitcher is.   To a man they will tell you four days.  Stop trying to prove otherwise.

Did you miss 2017? The Astros won the World Series.

Nope. I was pleasantly surprised in 2017. Just like I was in 2005 and in 1994 and 1995 before that. I had no expectation of winning any of them though.

Bad game for Bregs's bat to go cold

[YChang 3462]

Yeah, this. Or else none of this 3 days or 4 debate even matters.

[Pimphand 5866]

4 days rest is normal for the love of god.

Anyways the last time a team swept the division series and won the world series was the 2009 Yankees vs the hapless Minnesota Twins

It happened a lot. I counted at least five seven plus game stretches in the first three months of the season. Then I stopped counting for obvious reasons.

[Jshep34 2320]

Looks like daniella made her rounds sucking talent out of the whole roster past 2 days

[clapclapclap 9000]

Maybe Fondren is Shohei Ohtani

[UTexasFight 9527]

Fondren is trolling all of you guys at this point

Block/ignore him

[Fudge Nuggets 19220]

Good fucking lord. We are complete ass right now.

get another hit first.

[Slacks 6862]

dp.. but yeah

[Limp Brisket 546]

I like the regular season thread better.

[UTexasFight 9527]

I’m starting to think there might be a game 5

Well, kind of the opposite. If they score 5 now, it doesn't matter. If they don't score, then we get to analyze game 5 in earnest.

I actually think either the Rays or Astros beat the Yankees. Twins didn't even show up. 

[Guadaloopy 11013]

That’ll work.   Nice job, Joe.  

[NowThis 931]

my good luck charm.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Did they seriously say game 5 will start at 5pm?!

[Fudge Nuggets 19220]

My Kevin Brown PTSD is flaring up.

They are saving prime time for the Yankees to give their thoughts on the Astros Rays series. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Let's fucking go!!!!!!!!!

[clapclapclap 9000]

And the rally has begun.

[NowThis 931]

a grand slam would be more preferable

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Ha! Fuck your shutout bitches! Also, save situation (if we pitch a shutout 8th)

Edited October 9, 2019 by perfectchaos007

[UTexasFight 9527]

Let’s go back to back

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Think I’m gonna go eat some chorizo and eggs for dinner

[UTexasFight 9527]

Let’s go back to back

[UDontKnow 10447]

4 outs to get 3 runs. No fear!

[UTexasFight 9527]

Maybe Pagan will finally be the reliever having an off night

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Maybe Pagan will finally be the reliever having an off night

 

I hope so

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Just got under it

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Stats don’t show it, but we’ve hit some balls hard tonight. Thus, our bats are being moved from hospice back to ICU. Perhaps by Thursday they’ll be on solid food again. 

[UTexasFight 9527]

The Yuli go ahead grand slam in the 9th is gonna be pretty sweet
