Wow. I usually keep up with this thread during the games, but couldn't tonight.
I have a few observations:
There are a ton of "fans" coming out of the woodwork and posting. It seems like many of them just casually watch baseball and don't really understand the intricacies of the sport. I bed to get stars for the ignore feature.
Also, move Springer?! Are y'all high? He's had a rough go of it lately and needs to settle down a bit, but you can't move Altuve or Correa. They are needed for RBI opportunities. I hope George turns it around. Marwin's struggles are also puzzling. It seems like he isn't working the count as much and is swinging at too much out of the zone. It's like he's revered back to old Marwin. I'd be in favor of playing Maybin in a more favorable matchup.
This have want about the Astros offense sucking, it was all about Kershaw. He's a multiple Cy Young winner, starting at home. Also, Astros tend to have trouble with hard throwing lefties. Remember the problems with Paxton on Seattle? Keuchel pitched well. The Dodgers just hammered his two mistakes.
Verlander goes tomorrow. LA used their ace. We used one of our two. I like the matchup. All of LA's pitchers, save Kershaw, are hittable. Devo also looked decent tonight. All we need really is a split in SoCal.
The crowd at Chavez Ravine sucks. They appear to be disinterested. MMP will rock when the Astros get back home.
Joe Buck still sucks. He'll never be his dad. He did seem more fair tonight.
Overall, we still got this! People need to chill the **** out. Sometimes you get beat. They executed tonight on the two mistakes. The Astros capitalize on one.
So, for everyone complaining, settle down. This was just game one. There is more baseball to be played, and for the love of God, try to enjoy the ride.
