Likelihood of Liriano pitching good is low

Most people are going to roll their eyes but I would actually consider fisher, gattis and maybin all finding their way into the lineup on Friday. With verlander on the mound if he goes out and gets shelled it won't matter anyway but I think reddick and Marwin need a day off (even though that could be the last day of the season)


No way do you trot them out there in an elimination game. If you end season, you do it with your best players.

Actually yes. You're missing a ton.

Google it. And you may get some NSFW pictures so just a warning.
I'm at home and the wife is gone. Tell me what to google.

The amount of idiocy on this thread has finally gotten to me. This kind of series is why you build teams for the long term. Its what we keep telling the Rangers faithful. You build for long term because you want to be in the playoffs over and over again. Because when you get there you just don't know what's going to happen.

**** happens. You get cold. An average team gets hot. The Marlins won two rings doing that. The best team often doesn't win. Hell, the 4th best team in the AL over 162 games looks to be the best team right now. It's just playoff ball.

I'm out. I'll watch the game on my own.


I'm with you bud. Hate it's gotten like this. I used to be a crawfishbox regular until it was overrun with this type of crap.

This is like the movie where everything was going a little too well...

Win 100+ games
MVP favorite
Verlander acquisition

And then... ALCS road meltdown.

At this point let's get it to Game 7. IF we can find a way to do that it can still happen. Just get there.

Hey I hear you and I know most will disagreewith me but this is an elimination game like you said that will probably be a low scoring 1 run type game.

I don't care what you have done all year at this very moment I have more faith in maybin getting a hit than reddick. I have more faith in gattis than McCann or Beltran. Fisher I think is young enough he doesn't know any different and might fall into a few hits. At a minimum I think gattis needs to be in there and we try something. I think it's possivke our "best" players aren't better than the bench options right now due to mentally being on planet mars

3 hits. 3 stinking hits.

The way this offense has gone into hibernation is so reminiscent of the Killer B playoffs.

I will absolutely blow a gasket if peacock comes back out


At this point, we aren't winning. Pull him and save him.


Yep. Morton and Peacock tandem start for game 7.


Needs to be McHugh instead of Morton

Would be nice to have DK or JV to go game 7, but that was ruined tonight.

Dude, I'm with you most of the time. But losing 3 in a row and giving up all momentum is absolutely something to be worried about. Talking down on people who don't understand how we all the sudden became the most helpless team in baseball makes you look stubborn. There are a lot of idiots here, but most of use are just overrun with disappointment and didn't expect to be chewing our fingernails off against a team we are clearly better than.

Alright Carlos! At the very least, let's put up a fight here and use it as momentum.

This is setting up to be a pretty epic choke job if we lose 4 in a row. From best offense to can't hit ****.


Didn't think they could top 2 years ago. This might do it. F my sports life.

I would venture to say, I'm older than all of you. I sat in the bleachers at the .45's staduim & watched the likes of Koufax & Drysdale.
I've been through 1980, 1986 & 2095.
And, right now, I hurt real bad watching what I've seen the last 3 days.
But I'm still a fan.

Whelp. The team with home field advantage is in an elimination game despite winning their games at home. Makes no sense, but it is what it is. Season is on Verlanders shoulders tomorrow.

We can ***** about the pitching, but the bats have completely went silent for this series. Unless we find some semblance of functional hitting, Verlander and Morton/McHugh's performances will be irrelevant.

We are not hitting pitches in the zone. Plenty of posters have crowned the Yankees starting pitchers, but I frankly haven't seen anything special from any of their starters thus far, we just look lost at the plate.

I've posted here many times throughout the years and have been an Astros fan for some time. I really don't understand why people need, to a sense, brag about their fan hood to other people. Why is it necessary to state that one is a "true fan"? These types of posts are very evident after losses, especially on the Astros Facebook page. Why do people feel the need to say that? "We have choked our balls off, but look at me I'm a true fan." Just sounds kind of pathetic to me, and out of place given the situation.

Maybe the same as in 2005. Sorry, fat fingers.

We are swinging at sliders that are STARTING 3 inches off the plate and end up 2 foot outside and nearly bouncing to home plate.

This team basically top to bottom has forgotten what has gotten them here...working counts and grinding out at bats. Everyone is trying to get us back in the series with one swing.

Yes. Much of the bad swings are in 2 strike counts caused by looking at good pitches in earlier counts.
