No Urquidy in the pen. I think that's the right call, but it's a testimony to how elite the pitching staff is to leave him off. I don't see how he makes us better in a 5 game series.

I agree. To me it comes down to him or Brown. The only thing Urquidy has over him is experience. Brown has the arm.

Remember, the only reason Judge got his teeth fixed was so he could have a buzzer installed in them

Neither should get an AB in the playoffs. I'd take Dubon so he can be more versatile defensively. I think he's faster too in a PH situation.

PR, he should not be pinch hitting for anyone

Atlanta over LA imo
That seems to be a pretty common thought. Last week someone posted odds for winning the WS that showed Atlanta with better odds than LA. But why is that? The Dodgers finished with a better record by 10 games and beat the Braves in their season series by 4 games to 2.

Should we really be hoping the Astros face LA over Atlanta in the Series? That's not how I'm feeling now.



I want nothing to do with Atlanta. Don't like our lineup against their staff
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

So what's the projected starers/lineup for the ALDS? Haven't been able to keep up much over the past couple months.

Maldy still starting over Vasquez?
Mancini in the lineup?
Everybody else healthy outside of MB?

Its been a 50-50 split. Maldy has actually been better than Vazquez since the trade. I 100% expect Maldonado for JV & LMJ.

Mancini or Diaz will likely occpuy the last lineup spot. They'll either be in LF or DH with Yordan taking the other spot. I doubt Gurriel is in consideration for the bench so Mancini can play 1st. Mancini has almost sucked as bad as Yuli.

Yup, everyone should be good to go minus Brantley.

Yes. But I'm interested to see if Vazquez gets a start in the ALDS and, if so, with which starter. Guessing Vazzy will get a few PH opportunities too.

granted it was back in April...

but the Blue Jays roughed up Urquidy pretty good in his 2 starts against them.

13 hits & 6 runs in 10 innings of work.

that may come into play if Toronto is the ALDS opponent

Vasquez is a great piece to have in late PH scenario.

I'd say that's more valuable than him having a spot start.

Looks right to me, but why would you start Jake vs righties?

I believe the belief is he is superior defensively...Chaz is better hitting vs lefties so he gets the nod there but there theyre both just ok vs righties Jake gets the start

I guess he doesn't feel like he contributed to earning any of the wins in which he pitched? What a dummy.

I hope he gets a permanent blister on his index finger that prevents him from pitching.

Baseball players are some of the dumbest people on the planet. No exaggeration. They really are morons.

True. As a whole they are the least educated professional sports players on a percentage basis due to the minors and draft rules. Doesn't make them all stupid, but there seem to be a lot more than other sports. I still remember that moron Blake Snell during COVID negotiations.
