Man, reading some of these takes I'm glad I didn't try to follow this thread all year


85% of the posters with the "woe is me" takes didn't hang around during the season.

And you'd think after watching this team battle back against good pitching all through the postseason, most notably in game 2 of this very series, that these chumps would chill out and show some faith in the team (or at the least show more restraint in posting).

But no.

He's hittable. Who wants to open up the floodgates in this line-up?


This is dumb, if he's hittable no one is unhittable. He is literally the least hittable guy in the history of baseball. Kershaw has the lowest hits/9 of any pitcher in MLB since the live ball era. Everyone stop acting like he's just a guy


Postseason Kershaw is just a guy.

This is why the Dodgers are better than we are. Our hitting is about a push, our SP is a little better, their Bullpen is 50 times better

I don't watch baseball but I wanted to comment that Bellinger seems like someone I would want to punch in the face.


He looks like he still bullies nerds in between innings

Hopefully the offense has some more magic in them tonight, this bullpen is complete trash.


You are a wizard. Great summary of Game 5.

Physically angry at Springer right now. He better hit one out off of Strip to start the bottom half.

And Liriano is who we have left...


It wasn't liriano, but it went yard!

I'm not sure Morrow will be effective. He's really pitching a ton for him. I say we jump on him.

Insanely loud. Couldn't hear myself think at times. The "beat LA" chant was amazing.

Just wow. What a hell of a game and an effort by the boys. Simply amazing. All you poosays that bailed after the first stay the **** off. Kershaw is good by not unhittable. Jansen is good but not unhittable. Stop being beeches and back your team. You quit on them and they played the best WS game ever.




(Bull pen has some ****ing issues. OMFG)

Yep. A major strength of both the damn Yankees and the effin' Dodgers yet the Astros bats have put the hurt upon those pens worse than our much maligned one. Let us also not forget the bullpen helped the team build the huge lead it enjoyed in the regular season despite injuries that sidelined our All-Star starters Keuchel & LMJ.

Too many wives monitoring these threads..... or staff posing as wives.....
Man I must really be lucky, mine has been sitting right by me through the playoffs and laughs. She was even watching it last night while I was outside.
My fiance just assumes when I say "my friend" and I'm talking about the Astros that I'm talking about this thread... but thankfully she doesn't care either


That's funny, Buck. Anything I carry out of this thread and discuss face to face with someone, I just say "I was talking about this with some astros' buddies of mine"

We are 1 big family on this thread and it's a lot like a real family. There are some we don't wanna claim and some that are a little more, ahem, eccentric than others, but nonetheless, we've all been here all year and I love talking ball with yal.
Yep. One big happy, dysfunctional family. Win or lose it's a lot of fun talking baseball with you guys. Thankfully just need to get one more to get to a redass 112 on the season.
I've waxed and waned on if I thought this team could stay healthy or get here, and even given up on the thread for a few weeks in august when it was especially bad. But we are one win away and I know I won't sleep well tonight, just waiting to come back here to root for my first sports love to finally reach the mountaintop.

Verlander is going to get us there. I can feel it.


I find it amusing that TexAggers seem to do this as a whole. I do exactly the same thing.

Good zone last night as well. So many casuals taking the Fox overlay as gospel and running to Twitter to complain about it, e.g. Seager's K.
If you look at 10/25 chart from Game 2, Verlander was not getting the slider call low and away against RHH. Hopefully he can establish that corner early and we can see a Titanic Baseball tweet of him striking out Chase Utley pinch hit for a CG.
It was his inside stuff miss-called against RHH in that game. That's 3 definite and 3 maybe strikes missed.


But then he got those calls against LHH.
That is the strike zone from Umps point of view, so those pitches against RHH that are on the right side are his sliders moving away. The RHH is standing on left in Umps POV

So what's the plan for tonight?

Obviously you ride Verlander until his arm falls off, but let's say he gassed after 7 and we're up by 2-3. Who comes in for the final 6 outs?

Dallas for 1, Morton for 1, McCullers for 6? Is Lance untouchable tonight so he can start tomorrow if need be? If he does come in relief who pitches tomorrow?

In that scenario I'd pitch LMJ and let Morton know he'd be the guy for Game 7.

Honestly, as crazy as it sounds, I'm not afraid to bring in Gregerson until he shows sign of trouble.

I think it depends on the score. If you have a small lead you go Lance I think.

Then tomorrow you have Morton/Peacock/Keuchel.

I honestly think we kill them.

You do what is necessary to win tonight. If game 7 is played you hope the bats carry you.
