Dusty said Luis Garcia will start Game 3 and they will probably go with Jose Urquidy in Game 4, if needed.

This is interesting. I guess I would have assumed Lance again on Monday on 4 days rest. That sets up Lance on full rest for game 5 and Framber on 4 days rest out of the pen.

Astros pitching coach Brent Strom said the team hasn’t decided who will start Game 3.

Brent Strom on Jake Odorizzi: “He’s handling it like I would expect a competitor to handle it. It wasn’t well. It would be easy for me to say he was a team guy and was all happy about it. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. He was disappointed. He obviously felt he should be on the team” pic.twitter.com/PyMF2uBRad

It's the postseason. Everyone is going to throw their best. We've taken down much better guys than him in the past.

Giolito has owned us in the past, but as you said, we've made it hard on good pitchers in the postseason in the past.

I feel like our goal has to be to work counts and try to run the PC up to get him about by the 6th at latest. Hopefully he doesn't have his control much in the first few innings to kind of help get that PC up.

Maybe we can get him to tip his pitches like Darvish.

No no no. There were trash cans banging in those starts. Didn't you hear them? They were loud and clear in Dodger stadium.

Giolito has had two good starts against us out of 5. He's 1-2 in MMP. It's a super small sample size.

Pitcher W-L record is just about the most meaningless stat there is.
