He's only 35. He's been around forever but he's quite a bit younger than Verlander-Scherzer-Greinke.

Costas seems to be taking it rough. Not a great showing after his 15 minute opening epilogue of him being the best ever.

He's also got a lot of miles on him. I think they were hoping he could go 4 plus.

Dodgers have a serious pitching problem. I was wondering why the books were so high on them. Injuries & domestic violence took their toll. If they made that E-Rod deal things would be much better for them but they had to settle for Lynn.

How crazy would it be that the Astros may be the only home team to win today

Yordan is special. The Trout, Ohtani, Judge, Acuna, & Betts conversation and hype needs to include 44. And he's only 26 with 5 more years of control. He's got a chance to go down at the Astros goat.

Correct

Did Lance Lynn make their playoff roster? He might be their best bet at a starter going deep

Yep. And now Sheehan has to come in T1 of game 1. I really think they were hoping he would be a tandem with Kershaw. Now he's it in a losing battle.

I just don't see how their pitching gets pieced together at this point. That have to pray they can out slug AZ.

The Astros showed the D-Backs how to hack pitchcom in order to throw the final series of the season.

Yordan is special and extremely underrated, I think because he's on a team with Altuve/Verlander and is incorrectly thought of as a power hitting DH.

However, he's going to have to do a whole lot to pass Altuve for Astros goat. I want it to happen because that means several more parades.

I love playoff small sample stats.

Kershaw now has a 2023 playoff ERA of 162.00 and a WHIP of 21.00

I'm not sure he will have the longevity to pass Altuve over an entire career. But he will have some really awesome early career numbers

Oh yeah, Redheads for Astros! Keep it going.

Today, unfortunately, many Americans have good reason to fear that they will be victimized if they are unable to protect themselves. And today, no less than in 1791, the Second Amendment guarantees their right to do so. - Justice Samuel Alito 2022

Are you allowed to use a position player to pitch in the postseason? It is hard to imagine one doing a lot worse the this.

I would think the same rules apply as in the regular season, but I don't know for sure

JV starting was the right move, IMHO. He had a great game today and will be an option should it go to G5. Framber probably has a better ability to pitch on short rest too, so could also go G5 if we need him to, but I don't think JV would had he started G2.

I just hope we get good Framber tomorrow. Unfortunately Maldy is going to be a permanent fixture into the lineup. As predicted, they won't even bother giving Diaz a chance at catcher as a late game substitution. That was thrown out the window when they didn't pick up a 3rd catcher on the roster.

It's insanity that someone as talented as Diaz will effectively not be playing hardly at all unless Brantley doesn't play.
