I think he will come in if we have a big lead in about the 6th or 7th of a game

Remember when we played 3 at LA this year, and that chode of a home cooking ref called a game deciding bock that was total bullcrap, and then just stood there with that smug **** eating grin on his face.

That's the perfect example of why I love it every year with the dodgers blow it in the first round

Oh lord, please tell me you truly think the term is "bock." That's way better than some kind of autocorrect.

All I do is Nguyen said:



Watching this I think Scherzer is a smoke screen. I don't think he will be back. And in my gut I just don't get a fear feeling from Eouvalde they talked about starting him and how solid he had been and how he could get two starts and come in late in a game 7 if needed. Ask the Sox how that works for you

Mmmmm... I love me an ice cold Bock.

little known fact, the aforementioned pitching infraction was named after Gabe's grandfather....who was known to have a very wonky throwing motion.

I'm going to leave it there, and honestly also admit I spelled it the same damn way when looking for the picture.

Watched this earlier. Pretty good takes. I believe there is some of the same feelings in these picks as those writers

I believe they termed a very special type of bock after Cutter Crawford of the Redsox.

Eovaldi is a stud in the playoffs

He owned us in the 2018 ALCS

Texas would be insane not starting him GM 1

Here is how the Astros "starters" have faired vs Evovaldi and J-Mo the last 3 seasons (postseason included)

Evovaldi


Monty


Seems to me they'd want to use Monty as the 1 in this series. Then you have him as the option to bring back on short rest if things don't go their way early. He's clearly been more effective and less familiar.

SIAP but is Scherzer coming back for this series?

A pitcher who hasn't pitched because of an arm injury in a month. And right before that we hung 7 runs on him in 3 IP. And they want to trot him out for game 1?

Go for it. That's a bull pen game right out of the gate.

Alvarez with an OPS of just under 2 against Eovaldi? Is that good? That seems pretty good to me.

It's a dumb point in the playoffs. Teams are 13-1 when out-homering their opponent.

In 21 games, there have been 6 lead changes (no more than 1 per game) and only 2 after the 4th inning. With increased bullpen use, runs are priceless whether they as 1 or crooked.

So baseball keeps statistics on everything. Does anyone know if a pennant winning team has ever had a bullpen with a save percentage of less than 50% like the Ranger's? I have a lot of respect for what they've done this year and expect the Astros are going to be in a dogfight. But still, if I were a fan of theirs I wouldn't be very confident.

Teams that slug their way through the regular season usually don't do very well in the playoffs but so far they have. Thoughts?

Dude, do you not feel as if the baseball gods will find you presumptuous for doing this?
How about some more fat bottomed girls?

7? As in this is our 7th CS in a row. I don't think the gods will somehow take it away.
