Gerry Fraley's pick: Pedigree shows at the end. Houston fattened its record by going 50-26 in the American League West. Boston went through the crucible that is the AL East. Boston in 5.

The crucible? The only difference record wise for teams in the AL East and the AL West is the Yankees vs Seattle. Last I looked, the Angels would have been a much better team and made the playoffs if they didn't have to face the Astros 19 times.

No McHugh is a bit of a surprise.

Guess they opted for White instead? Didn't see that one coming.

MLB Network. Not sure of channel number... probably near the NFL network.

**** I was hoping that was a given haha. I'm a bit surprised we are going with 11 pitchers. I'd expect that to change in a 7 game series

McHugh sort of feels like one of those guys that "earned" a spot, whatever that means, but I don't know exactly how he'd help us. I don't think he'd be particularly effective out of the bullpen or anything like McCullers might.

McHugh since Aug 14th

8 games started
5-1
2.61 ERA
8.71 K/9

And we can afford to leave him off the staff.

White has sneakily hit really well this year and made an interesting list I saw the other day.



And Tyler has a career 123 wRC+ vs LHP

Would have taken McHugh over Gregorsuck.

I guess they didn't see mchugh as a bullpen option. Kind of feel like he'd be a better option than McCullers though.

Are we sure that's the same Tyler White?

I feel like he's a great option to start game 4 though....

Forgot to add that Boston is starting 2 lefties for sure, and if they don't throw Sale on short rest then the 4th starter is likely Eduardo Rodriguez, another Lefty

based on recent performance, i would have taken mchugh over mccullers...

I went into my boss's office yesterday to ask for the afternoon off. Before I could even ask, he said, "I just assumed you'd be out tomorrow and Friday."

For those of you stuck at work and can't stream via the MLB Network use one of the links the MLB Streams subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MLBStreams/

I tested out one of the links posted there, and it was excellent quality.

Stuck at work. I'll listen on TuneIn. I prefer that to TV announcers.

Again, I also think you can just sign up for a free trial of DirecTV Now and watch it if you don't want to give your computer ebola.

I think this was as good as could be hoped for. Lots of flexibility with the lineup, and Hinch can't put in Sipp or Fiers.

I feel like McHugh might be on the ALCS roster if we get to that point (or if Morton or McCullers is roughed up) - you can afford to go light on pitching in a spaced out 5 game set. Less likely to only carry 11 pitchers in a 7 games series.

Did you check out the subreddit? The few links that I checked out didn't have any of the spam links or boxes that require you to click out of anything. Most of them have individuals commenting about the quality of the streams, so you can just pick one that's been confirmed as working and not a spam cesspool.

I think hinch went out of character a little by keeping 11 pitchers and 14 position players....I think that's 100% right call but he might not have done that 2 years ago.

3 catchers and white is the correct call. I agree with leaving mccugh off. But leaving on gregerson over clippard I don't get. Clippard has been average on limited appearances but gregerson has been lit up a ton this year.

I did earlier in the season, maybe the streams have gotten better.

The "YourSportsHD" reddit stream has worked perfectly for me for two years now. It's what I use every time here in CS.

this. Their is literally no situation where I would put in L.G.. Even in a blowout I would rather see clippard, or even have McHugh in there just to get his work in and face live batters.
