While the meme is funny as hell, if you put Cole on this team and we are probably already done with Boston and we'd be heavy favorites in the WS
hell, this would probably be the case if Lance was healthy.

add in 35 and Cole would be a waste of money on this team.

It's also the lineup of death. Somebody good (and likely hot at some point) has to hit 7th. And somebody hitting in the top half will always have a rough couple of games. Leave it be.
This is kind of where I am leaning. The only move I would actually make is flip Yuli and Bregman. The reason I wouldn't do it, though, is b/c it's kind of nice for the pitcher to get through the top 6 and not get a breath b/c Yuli is sitting there. If you flip him and Bregman, it might take a little pressure off. With Bregman in a bit of a struggle, the pitcher might be able to relax a little with him followed by whoever plays Center and Maldy.

Life long Astros fan here.

I bought a $4,000 mattress from Mattress Mack - Gallery Furniture. If the Astros win the World Series, Mack cuts me a check for what I paid him for the bed…

Is it that good of a mattress?


Mattresses aren't cheap. A King can easily get to $4k. Some high end ones can get upwards of $10k.

If you need a mattress this is a No brainer bet. Worst case you are still buying a mattress.
also, do you really want to skimp on one of the prime locations you'll be using for putting the D in the P?

most spend 1/3 of their lives in a mattress.

And why doing it in a 60 game season should have an asterisk.

Really hope we take care of business tomorrow. And go Braves. I would love to play Atlanta just for nostalgia sake. I've always been a fan of both teams so it would be fun to watch, even though I'm 100% Astros obviously.

Can someone refresh my memory on how the presale works?

"Tickets to each game must be purchased on the same transaction"

This means you buy one game, then buy another… not get all the games in your cart and then check out, right?
I do not believe so. You get 1 transaction so add everything to your cart. Once you complete a transaction your code is done.


So you get all games in your cart and check out once? Man I woulda swore it was the opposite.

It was a pain to do, but that is what I did for the ALCS.

Gotcha. So then once you get the tickets in your cart they can't be touched by others until your timer runs out?

So...Game 6 lineup...

Keep status quo, or move Yuli up? I honestly can see arguments for both scenarios.
I'd move Tucker up to the 3 hole, Yuli to the 5. Correa to the 6 and Bregman to the 7.

Altuve
Brantley
Tuck
Yordan
Yuli
Correa
Bregman
Centerfielder
Maldy/Castro


I think you'd want more distance between lefties to take advantage of some righty on lefty reliever matchups

Brave beat us 3x (?) in the playoffs in the 90s/00s, but we sent them packing in 04/05. I feel like we avenged those squads.

But that would be a fun match up. They have a lot of likable guys. Even with LA's injuries I'd still prefer to match up vs them.
Yeah I think we match up better with Braves. Also, as much as I'd love to beat LA in the WS again, I think the risk isn't worth the reward. If we lose to them, the BS narrative about the cheating scandal will never go away. I know, get a dog.

Personally, IDGAF about narratives or whatever, I want to face the team that gives the Astros the best chance to win a WS. period.

Having said that, we need to win one more before we start thinking WS.

Touche.....but we can start thinking about the WS all we want, as long as the players don't.

I have received email from Astros for all the other playoff series but didn't get one for WS - was it random/lottery? Anyone not using their code?

I know, but as a former player I ALWAYS get superstitious about talking about the next round before the current series is done. I don't want bad juju, I have been posting Jobu memes the last two games and will continue to do so until Jobu puts fear back into the bats :P

I can't wait till Friday to whip some Boston ass at the Juice Box. Guess I'll have to settle for watching the Braves put a beat down on the Dojers tonight.

This.

You don't get cute & tinker when it's working. Other than tinkering with CF, because that is also working.
