While Peacock has outperformed Lance for the last several months, he's got experience out of the pen. Lance has only done it once. I am fine with giving Lance the ball know that he's got if he cannot throw strikes and Peacock is prepared to get warm in the first inning.

Yes. The absolutles people speak in drive me nuts...jkag89 said:
While not a done deal, nothing wrong with expressing a little confidence with a 2-0 lead in the series especially with this team. What is worse, super confident fan or the Debbie Downers that come out of the woodwork with the least bit of adversity? IMO the angst expressed by many here when Benintendi went yard off Verlander in Game 4 in the BoSox series or the bellyaching after every AB that does not produce a positive result is far more annoying.
"Beltran sucks!"
"McCann sucks!"
"LMJ will never be an ace!"
"Giles is not a shut down closer"
Stop stating opinions (horrible ones at that, as facts!)

Lance could go out there and pitch 7 innings, 3 hits, no runs.
Don't bet on it
Lance hasn't had over 6 IP since June 8.
If he starts it'll be a tandem start scenario where a long reliever comes in around the 4th or 5th.
yeah...I am aware of his recent struggles but I think he is healthy now and I just have so much faith in him in that moment.
I have a soft spot for Lance for whatever reason. I would love to see that.
7 innings may be an exaggeration because I think if he made it through 6 AJ would send Devo out there. But I do think Lance would go out there an ball out. Just a gut feeling.

I feel like some people root against Lance
Your gut feeling is justified.
I think Lance has the attitude and swag that you want in a starting pitcher in the playoffs. I think he's chomping at the bit to get the ball and I could see him being very effective against this Yankee lineup.
I have faith that he can be effective, but I have little faith that he can go past 4 or 5 innings.

Welp...Hope I was entered automatically based on the last few drawings because I had no idea the period ended yesterday.
Same here. Why would I need to reenter 3x? Seems silly.Ag_07 said:

I never re-entered for the ALCS after the ALDS and won the presale lottery for both. I don't think it's necessary to re-enter.
Are my chances better if I wasn't selected for the first two rounds?
Same boat. Let's hope we finally get picked. Otherwise, it's like elementary dodgeball all over again.k20dub said:

Same here. Got lucky and won both ALDS and ALCS tickets and only entered in the drawing in early September. I don't think it's necessary.Ag13 said:

Entered the drawing for both ALDS and ALCS tickets, wasn't picked, but still got tickets through astros.com.
Has anyone streamed a game using the Fox Sports Go app? I could possibly try this for the early games this week but I'm skeptical about whether it will work.

Anyone else been there? It's must see

I know there's a lot to it, but I find it interesting that the dodgers are such favorites for the WS, they are up 2-0 on the Cubs, yet the Cubs still have better odds to win the WS than the Yankees.

I used it for ALDS game that was on FS1 during the week. No issues at all

Fangraphs odds of winning WS:
Astros: 48.1%
Yankees: 5.7%
Cubs: 7.2%
Dodgers: 39%
I'm a little surprised that the stros are almost 10% higher than that he Dodgers, despite both teams being up 2-0

Altuve and Correa are a combined 8-for-15 (.533) and have scored all 4 of Houston's runs in the ALCS vs Yankees.

Anyone received an email about WS tickets? My dad told me that a coworker of his got an email saying that tickets go on sale Thursday, but neither of us have gotten an email yet
Yea, but did see Judge's athleticism chasing down that game winning hit by Correa? Wow....it was so athletic of him.Ag_07 said:

Test tonight at 7:15....
Will I finish as soon as possible to watch the game?
Haha, YUP

Nothing as of yet on any of the emails I registered with.
I received an email this morning as a 28 game package ticket holder. I already have my two seats reserved for each game, and they're letting me purchase two additional seats (it was 8 for the ALDS and 4 for the ALCS). Perhaps that was the email that was being referred to. I'm thinking that the lottery results will be announced soon as well, but who knows.
What do you want for your two extras?

if anybody gets into a presale, I could paypal or venmo for (face value) the cheapest ticket possible. Could be SRO or View Deck 1. I'm a new grad so anything more than face value I probably couldn't do
I got into the presale and got a ticket for game 6 of the ALCS but haven't heard anything about WS yet.

WAs just about to post same advice.
Peacock's slider has been one of the most effective pitches in baseball this season, too.Ag_07 said:gigemJTH12 said:
I want Lance starting game 4.
I think you're gonna get your wish.
I think we've figure out that the Yankees have trouble hitting any pitch that doesn't come straight at them.
Keuchel continues to dominate them with his soft stuff that moves all over the place, Verlander dominated them with an absurd amount of nasty sliders, and Morton gets the nod with his wicked CB.
I think this staff sees Lance and his curve as a better matchup for the Yankees. A McCullers/Peacock combo may wreak havoc on these clowns.
Get the bats going and pitching won't matter as much. Get on CC early!
Anyone else want to see Gattis back in the lineup?
