A win tonight will let us exhale a bit. Especially given the pitching advantage we have in games 3-4

But I don't think we climb out of a 0-2 hole

Vasquez can't DH, too risky.


What's the worst that happens? If Maldy gets hurt, Vazquez would switch from DH to catcher, we lose the DH and just pinch hit with Diaz/Hensley/Mancini when the pitcher comes up? Vazquez isn't completely blocked from catching right? Honestly I think it's worth the risk.


Honestly, this is just bad

Greater than 50% chance of rain in Philly from 9pm onwards on Monday night. I think the chances are pretty good we don't play Sunday or Monday. That benefits the Phillies a lot because it allows them to get their 2 best guys back on the mound in game 4 and 5.


Of course. ****ing October rain in a ballpark we haven't hit in,… again.


Maybe if we would've taken care of business at home and not ****ed around last night we wouldn't have to worry so much about rain.

This is the kinda post that, well, sucks.

If you're going to respond, spend the time to explain your thoughts, the lazy your take sucks thing is kinda, well, just bad.

Yes, that's what I did because that's what it deserved.

Thoughts are pretty straightforward. It isn't worth the risk to put our back up catcher in at DH and potentially go a game without a DH…..

I'm thinking tonight is going to be great for us. Astros AND Aggies win big.

Alvarez at DH and put Diaz in left. At least the value you're adding is lowering the risk of injury to Alvarez

If Alvarez is in LF theyve pretty much gone without a dh all postseason. It is risky as hell though

Par for the course...Dusty not aware of what he needs to know
While a stat Dusty probably should have been aware of, I don't think it would have changed how Dusty handled the game last night. Many on this thread have stated that Wins is an overrated stat. It is possible to pitch very well and not get the W and even saddled with the L. As for VJ's World Series woes, as an Astro at least he really has not pitched that poorly. Both starts in '17 were quality starts (G2 the 'Stros getting a W in 11, G6 a 3-1 L). While neither start in'19 was what one would have hoped for out of an Ace, neither was was horrible either. A little run support or the pen not melting down after he left, things might have been different for the 'Stros. Then maybe not, he received ample early support last night and the pen was good behind him.

I'm guessing Dusty doesn't like Hensley at DH because of his versatility and ability to come off the bench late for anyone.

Yet he hasn't come in so it may be a moot point.

I would trade 12 Aggie losses a year for the next five years to win this WS.

I want to see this bad Phillie defense we've heard about. They looked pretty sharp (or lucky) last night.

It's crazy that it's a Saturday in October and Aggie football is an afterthought at the moment… but it's true.

How amazing would it be for A&M to have lived up to expectations, be in the top 10 AND have the Astros World Series run.

Georgia fans got spoiled last year with the Bulldogs and Braves

The way the football team has started games recently, they will be here by the first inning.

Dude is such a pos. Baseball and their cronies completely ****ed us. They did such a good job that almost no one even mentions the Red Sox much less the rest of the losers who didn't win a championship.

Prophetic. It won't even be competitive by first pitch.

I need the game to start because the pregame rehashing last night is just nauseating.

Jimbo has inspired me with the 3 man front. I think we should pull an infielder tonight and run a 4 man outfield knowing how many ground balls Framber will induce

Unwatchable

Refusing to watch pregame, watching the Ag's up to first pitch. Maybe I should catch up on Real Housewives

Talent acquisition? We have the most home-grown talent of any team in the playoffs, right? Dude is a ****ing moron, on top of being wholly incompetent.
