Not only am I questioning Garcia vs. Urquidy, I'm also questioning Marwin vs. Stubbs or a third catcher. I guess I'm haggling over maybe 2-3 game situations over the course of the series, but still…

With Diaz on the roster, I'm struggling to see a time when Marwin gets playing time that doesn't involve injury, which he could then be added to the roster anyway.

Luis has a home OPS of .609 and a WHIP of 1.01 n 15 games this year. He has a road OPS of .753 and WHIP of 1.34 in 15 road games. He's elite at home and the very definition of average away.

Why is this even up for debate? He should be starting Game 2 and then 6 at home.
I'm bouncing between meetings or I'd look it up. Any idea of level of competition across home vs away this year?

I really don't mind starting Garcia in Game 3 on the road. It leaves the door open for him to start game 7 at home. With he and Framber bookending the 3 in Atlanta, I really like our chances.

Game 1: Framber
Game 2: Urquidi

Game 3: Garcia
Game 4: OdorGreinke
Game 5: Framber

Game 6: Urquidi
Game 7: Garcia

This sets up really well, IMO.

Who do we see game 4?

Greinke-Javier-Odo Combo? I lean towards starting with Greinke just because of experience but can also see Odo being used in the same way. I know Javier can start but hes the better option to come in for long relief at any point. I don't know that the same can be said about Greinke or Odo, given their familiarity and use as SP's.

Thoughts?

You would also get Greinke's bat.

He was 5-3 on the road with 7 no decisions.

1-0-2 at LAA
1-0 at Detroit
0-1 in coors
1-0 in Arlington
0-0 in KC
0-1 in SF
0-0 in SD
1-0 Oak
1-0 TOR
0-0-2 in Seattle
0-1 in MIN
0-0 in NY

He was also significantly better with Castro in 9 games than Machete in 20.

I think Urquidy going in GM 2 is a result of him needing to pitch. It's been a while since he's pitched and if you pitch him GM 3 that's an extra day with the travel day.

I think it's simply a result of him being shelved lately and needing work.

Marwin might pinch hit in Atlanta for the pitcher's spot. I'd rather have him pinch hit than Stubbs although both aren't great options.

Being a switch hitter probably helps him vs Stubbs in this line of thinking

I absolutely hate this move by Dusty/Click. (this isn't a 100% Dusty decision, the front office definitely played a hand in who starts when this series)
boy was I wrong. I made the crazy assumption we wouldn't bash on Dusty until top of the first. I should have know we couldn't get past lunch without some dusty pounding.

Stubhub is slowly starting to trickle down. The only problem is parking, Uber, etc is outrageous.

Pay $1.25 to ride either of the light rail lines out of downtown and the Uber surcharge will drop. You can also park for free at a park & ride for free and pay $1.25 each way into downtown a block from the park. The trains run until midnight, so plenty of time to get back to the car and avoid traffic.

Oof. That pretty much rules SRO out for those who can't leave the office early.

I mean, is that quote wrong though? I would need the full context. Doesn't sound like a shot at the Astros. Lunhow's fingerprints are quite literally all over the roster.

so you're saying Jeff Passan has not portrayed Luhnow as the villain here, from the Osuna trade on?

For shiz and giggles, I went to the Astros ticket site and saw it list some available tickets in the uppers. I was able to load into my cart but I didn't buy them. Was going to be $860 after fees for 2 tickets in 430 row 13 and that area is going for around $400 on stub hub .

You're missing the point.

While yes that's true it has nothing to do with the trash can.

It should've read something like 'Although Luhnow has moved on, his fingerprints are still all over this roster'

But nope...Got to to get that trash can in there somewhere.

Meh. I would need to read the full article. It could very well read like...

"Lunhow left after the scandal that involved trash cans." followed by the rest of the quote.

Context is important. I could very well be wrong. Maybe I'm just not bothered by this kind of stuff.

Those tickets were $270 from the Astros last week. Seeing the secondary market soften makes me feel fortunate I sold game 1 and 2 last weekend.
