    there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

    The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

  • Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

Would love for the Astros to try to sign Knebel for the bullpen next season. He'd be a great replacement for Graveman.

His Home/Road splits are bad. HOF at Coors, JAG on the road. I just don't see the Astros investing long term money at the position outside of Correa, because of Leon and Pena.

The Coors home/road split argument is a bad argument to make for not signing Story. Hitters struggle batting away from that ballpark while they play for the Rockies. 

Got tix for tonight,  go time bitches

I just don't see them sinking that much money into SS when Pena and Leon are both about ready to come up.  I think Taylor is about as high-end as they'll go and that might even be a pipe dream.  Hopefully though they use that money to get some high end pitching which is what this team truly lacks.

I'm all for the save money for other positionz argument. I just don't believe the ballpark splits park.

Excuse my ignorance but what's the point of putting him on the taxi squad? Do they do that in case he is healthy for the world series?

Adding Odo is a no-brainer.  I would rather they have added one of Solomon/Bielak over Taylor who is basically a poor man's Raley.

So he can travel with the team and be in the dugout. They have nine players on the ALCS taxi squad. 

Why would a player want to be in the dugout if they cant play? Thought it was standard practice to stay as far away as possible.

No Joe West.  So you're telling me there's a chance

We need to do some serious piggybacking from here on out with Javier, Greinke, and Odo.  Trying to throw Yimi, Maton, Stanek, and Emo an inning each every game isn't going to hold up.

Yeah.. Watching Dusty handle this pitching staff is going to be interesting. If this goes 7 games, that's 63 innings we have to fill and 189 out they have to get.. 

Baseball has a special way of bringing the nervous.

This is why  I really think they should have added another multi-inning reliever. Who is realistically going to pitch 4+ innings in a start?  Framber?  Maybe Urquidy?

Depends on the score and situation, but Garcia, Zack, Javier and Odo can go 4. 

They can, but you can't really expect it from them which was his point.

Framber, Urquidy, Garcia, Odorizzi

My point was if we're up by 10, you can leave Odo in the game. or if we're down by 10. 

 

 

No such thing as a "must win" this early in the series, but I think these two home games are pretty darn close.  Given the state of our pitching, we may need to be prepared to eat a game or two of the three in a row at Fenway.  

 

 

 

 

Or let's just fucking sweep.

i think we have to recalibrate our expectations for our sp this series.  boston and houston are very similar.  there will be plenty of hitting, plenty of runs, and neither team has anything i would label a top-of-the-rotation ace.  if we can get guys to go 4-5 innings and give up 2-3 runs, then that's a game we're in.

the later innings will be big, and their bullpen does not scare me.  as i'm quite certain ours does not scare them.

i wish we had a couple more guys that could go between 1-3 innings.  someone like bielak or soloman might be like that.  and if someone throws fewer than 15 pitches and looks good, they may have to stretch.  as long as the lineup isn't turning over or they're getting blown up, why the hell not.

i don't think hinch went into the yankees series in 2017 thinking mccullers was getting a multi-inning save to win it, but here we are.  adapt or die.

I assume they are injecting horse steroids into Lance's arm.  I would just dial up Baffert and ask what he would use.

I think you mean game 6 with the homer some how ricocheting in to section 234.

I think Garcia is gassed and hasn’t performed well since the summer. Urquidy and Odo throw strikes at a clip sufficient to work deep into a game but at least one of them is going to get lit up. The only thing I can say is that Odo pitched surprisingly well in September so hopefully that carries over.

I love ya, but I've had enough Game 7s for a lifetime.  The heart and nerves can only take so much.  I've aged 10 years in the past 5 or so thanks to the Stros.  Wouldn't change it cause those older years suck anyways.

Laz Diaz is forever cool with me

we don’t have a ring without him behind 2nd base with Devo on the mound in Game 2 of the ‘17 WS

Time for some arms to step up and earn their pay. It’s pretty simple, if they can do their job , dusty looks like a genius. If they can’t, he looks bad 

if they do their job, click looks like a genius.  dusty won't have anything to do with it.
