Mine is just fine unless Cole comes out sloppy.

Giving them an auto-out in the lineup and not having a stud glove to sub in the late innings.

Mine is in knots as well, only because I'm not sure what offense we're going to get. 2 runs in the first would go along way to quell the knots.

Ceiling. While it may be small, Josh has a better shot at producing.

In general Jake has had trouble hitting the faster four-seamers. Glasnow would eat his lunch.

Can we put that ball boy stool in the dugout while we bat?

I just pray that the idiots in the first row of the Crawford Boxes and their cousins on the RF fence line keep their hands to themselves. We don't need any dumbass interference calls tonight.

Start Straw and have him drag bunt every at-bat. Guy can get to second on an infield hit.

Our RF position is 0-13 with 2 walks in 15 PA, so it's pretty much an auto-out. The late inning stud glove sub comment makes no sense at all, the stud glove would be in the entire game. With that being said, I am not sure who I want to see in that spot.

I guess my preference order is 1. Tucker, 2. Diaz, 3. Jake, 4.Straw, 5. Grienke, 6. Reddick

Very small...Reddick is 0-fer I believe. Glasnow will probably only face Jake once.

Probably a better option than Reddick hitting, plus Straw in the OF would be alright.

We are literally on row 1 in right field above the HEB/State Farm sign tonight - I will jump on anyone looking to jack with a play. My wife has already told me 'don't get drunk and mess with a play where the entire city will hate you'

Bottom 9th, tie game, runner on 2nd. Do you pinch run Marisnick or Straw? I feel like I trust marisnick more there for some reason.

Josh has had 1 game vs Tyler. He went 2-3. He's got the second-highest wOBA & highest xwOBA vs Tyler. We're only talking about 2 to 11 PA during the regular season.

He struck out in his first AB of the postseason against him, so not true. He did get his one walk against him though so he has that going for him.

100% Straw. Speed kills. He's got elite elite speed.

True but Jake has been an auto-out all season while the others (George and Mike) are just slumping.

And as for the defensive replacement...If Jake is in there already and you want to PH hit him late then you lose his glove. If he's on the bench you can PH anyone and shuffle him in tot he OF for his glove.

Simply put...It's a win or go home playoff game. You really want Jake Marisnick in the lineup getting 4+ ABs?

100% Straw. Speed kills. He's got elite elite speed.

Straw is faster, but I think Marisnick is the better baserunner. With two outs and only a decision to go full throttle? Yeah, I'd go with Straw. If it requires instinct and a quick *correct* decision, Marisnick all day for me.

I can agree with that. Jake is probably a smarter base runner. Tie game with a runner on second isn't all that complicated. Get home on a hit. Only go halfway if it's questionable to be caught.

Straw probably has higher risk of a tootblan though
