This makes me really happy for La Pina. It might be his best game all season.
Age, senility, myeloma, 4 fractured vertabrae, etc?
Would be huge for lineup depth if he could get goingFarmer1906 said:

Yuli getting hot this postseason would be such a huge boost. I think Mancini eventually will as well.
Alright, which one of you is the guy who ran down the street with the Astros flag? Cmon, fess up.
No matter what!
Epstein didn't do, you know, the thing...
I'm the rare Astros/Cowboys/Spurs fan. We do exist

I completely agree
I just doubted Dusty thought the same way.

It's JV unless he says "skip, i don't have it. something doesn't feel right." you send him back out there. this isn't the WS.

If Yordon doesnt hit a walkoff when we're down to our last out no one is praising dusty today. No one.
Can anyone ID that bar?

True...But no one would be sitting here bashing him.
If we would've lost it would've been on JV (and rightfully so).
He sucked. Flat out. No beating around the bush. He shlt the bed when we needed him.
But good teams pick each other up and that's what happened. Point being...Even a loss wouldn't have been the fault of Dusty.

Next time you're hating on the umpires, today's the 25th anniversary of Eric Gregg's Grand Canyon strike zone for Livan Hernandez.

With that logic, it's never the manager's fault and always the players. Which is fair. Technically, the manager doesn't play, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be criticized and praised when he makes good and bad moves.

might be his best game of the season YET
When I took a little Spanish, J was pronounced like a Y, and I've always thought of it that way. Thanks for correcting me.
nothing in his post would lead one to conclude this "logic" applies.Quote:

Stating pitcher gets hit like crazy for three innings, we score a few and try close the gap, and then sends JV back out for a 4th where he continues to get shelled. While we have the best pitching staff in the playoffs, and an off day tomorrow. Of course it would have been his fault. We won that game in spite of dusty.Ag_07 said:

Lol The Seattle Times
Dusty Baker says he believes Jake Meyers has the best chance among his center fielders of hitting Castillo tomorrow night. So look for @jake_meyers4 in the lineup in game two.

Speaking of Meyers, this was last night after briefly talking with his parents at the Westin. Very nice family.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Here's Mrs. Marvin with her rally cap on. In the bottom of the 9th, she started praying over the field and laying hands on the stadium seats. Hey, whatever works!
She even went all out at the nail salon with an Astros theme, haha.

Getting this one framed for my office. Mrs. Marvin's mother worked with the Astros back at the Astrodome and knows the Cruz family. Jose always takes time to say hello so I took this jersey for him to autograph.

I could've been anyone of them. I jumped up screaming and yelling, wife threw a couch pillow at me for waking up the baby, older kids came downstairs in a panic because they thought the house was on fire. It was awesome.
Castillo did pitch 7 scoreless at Toronto in the wildcard round, however in 2 of his last 3 regular reason starts he gave up 4 or more ER to the Royals and A's.
Here's to Astros hitters figuring him out.

Framber gave up 3 ERs to Seattle in each of his two starts against them this season (one home, one away).
In one start he held them scoreless until giving up 3 in the 7thBadAggie said:

In the other he gave up 3 (with two HBP) in the first and then didn't let them score again in his outing.

So use a starter, then let Framber pitch 5 scoreless innings, close it out with Montero-Stanek-Pressly. Profit.

Castillo's Pitch Mix
vs RHP
29.9% Sinker
29.4% 4 Seam
25.6% Slider
15.5% Changeup
vs LHP
36.3% 4 Seam
29.4% Changeup
17.7% Sinker
16.6 Slider
A few thoughts while looking at his #s.
This is a really strange mix. A few years ago his changeup was his best pitch and his 4 seamer was very hittable. Now his 4 seamer has been dominant this year. Its spin is as high as ever. He saw a huge jump last year. He also saw a huge jump from '18 to '20 on his slider spin. Kind of the opposite of the rest of the league.
I know we talked about LMJ H/R splits, but Castillo might have some road woes. Across the board, he's been worse on the road. K% down, BB% up, WHIP up, BABIP up, FIP up, xFIP up, Hard% Up, etc. It's not only true for this year but his career #s too.
Castillo is a workhorse. He's topped 100 in 13 out of 25 games this year with a max of 123. he averaged ~100 pitches per game. But he only averaged a hair over 6 IP per start so he's not the most efficient guy around. I hope we can work counts and wear him down.
