That is insane. *starts drinking at noon*
My stomach is already in knots
The answer to that is Jake has been horrible forever so....aTm2004 said:
Just a question...Reddick has been horrible this series. What do we lose putting Jake out there in center

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

Mine is just fine unless Cole comes out sloppy.
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.
This is a must win for my sanity considering who the ags and Texans have this weekend
Ceiling. While it may be small, Josh has a better shot at producing.aTm2004 said:

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

How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
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.Ag_07 said:aTm2004 said:

I guess my preference order is 1. Tucker, 2. Diaz, 3. Jake, 4.Straw, 5. Grienke, 6. Reddick
Don't forget this hero.
Very small...Reddick is 0-fer I believe. Glasnow will probably only face Jake once.Farmer1906 said:Ceiling. While it may be small, Josh has a better shot at producing.aTm2004 said:

Probably a better option than Reddick hitting, plus Straw in the OF would be alright.MuckRaker96 said:

The Astros have won every single playoff game Tucker has played

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'
Reddick is also 2-2 on GlasnowaTm2004 said:

I've just got one thing to say: Time to kick buttocks, boys.
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.aTm2004 said:Very small...Reddick is 0-fer I believe. Glasnow will probably only face Jake once.Farmer1906 said:Ceiling.

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.gigemJTH12 said:Reddick is also 2-2 on GlasnowaTm2004 said:

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

Talmbout.
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?

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.Marvin said:Farmer1906 said:100% Straw. Speed kills. He's got elite elite speed.ClickClack said:

Straw probably has higher risk of a tootblan though
