It's too big for you
During the regular season, you were a great poster, cause I never saw you in this thread...Now that the playoffs are here, your posts have been abysmal and all too frequent.
I would definitely say you are choking during the biggest moments

i'm interested in how the math works out
insofar i'm seeing series astros @ +225
if both verlander starts are slight astro edges, then how do you get to +225
would darvish be more than a -120 favorite on the road in game 3?
and how big would the game 5 line be? it'd have to be a decent Dodgers lean to make the math work (i think).

You can chalk it up the being the stage too big or stage too small, but Springer has always been one of the streakiest hitters in the lineup.
The playoffs are just 1 small sample size, so it makes some players seem superhuman while others not so much. Springer has had moments in the regular season he has looked just as bad as he looks right now. He's managed to adjust and get out of those and it usually happens when he keeps his front shoulder down and starts squaring up balls to the right field gap. Here's hoping he's making those adjustments and he gets started good tonight.
Maybe? I A-Rod talked about heart rate. Most guys in the regular season have their heart rate at 75 but come postseason these guys shoot up into the 100s. He said he had that problem and was just too excitable. George seems like a pretty relaxed, fun-loving player who doesn't seem overmatched mentally. But the proof is in the pudding. He's looked bad and I hate saying that because he's my guy.cone said:

Usually the moments we're a stretch this long. The closest I could find this year was a 9 game stretch in May.irish pete ag06 said:

I have been looking all week at Stub Hub for game 5. Was resigned to the fact that I was gonna be paying a grand and sitting in the outfield.
Just got the call and got asked to sit 15th row behind Stros dugout for free.
its destiny. Stros in 5.

Not as lucky - but I went ahead and pulled the trigger and got some Game 5 tickets. Me and my dad - going to be an amazing experience.

Listening to Matt Thomas on 790 talk about how maybe Springer needs to be moved out of 1.

I saw my first live game between the Colt 45's and Phillies in 1964. I haven't missed an Aggie game in 17 years. I'll be at Kyle Field saturday. My home game streak is at 114 right now and I'm too old to start another.irish pete ag06 said:World Series Games are never guaranteed.

I'm snapping my 11 year Aggie home game streak for WS game 4.
Totally worth it.
That is a hell of a streak though!

Obviously the lack of a hitting pitcher all year long puts us at a big disadvantage against the Dodgers whose pitchers hit all damn year. MLB has to change that rule, it's a massive disparity going into a winner take all series.
