We don't really need to do another full day of lineups, right?
Seriously. Please guys.

All I do is Nguyen said:

Agreed. The O's are the #1 seed currently and as much as I am happy for them (I genuinely am), I hope we take 2/3 or sweep them.

Dusty please give us the A+ roster this series

I heard a stat the other day, ever since Adley got called up, they have not been swept in a series once. If true, that's incredible.

There's a first time for everything.

This is kind of weird.

Stat - Astros / Os
LD% - 19.7% /. 19.7%
GB% - 42.0% / 41.8%
FB% - 38.2% / 38.5%
IFFB - 9.0% / 10.0 %
--
Soft% - 15.2% / 15.1%
Med% - 52.8% / 52.0%
Hard% - 32.0% / 32.9%

Very similar batted ball #s.

The the teams have very similar stats across the board. Their Pythagorean record is exactly the same.

The difference is:

1 run games
20-10 / 15-14

Extra inning games
6-5 / 1-7

Speaking of 1 run games and extra innings, SD sucks.

6-18 in 1 run games and 0-10 in Manfredball.

Woof

So you're saying the difference is bullpen and extra inning strategy…

Reminder since I don't think we've played here yet since the change, but the Os went crazy and made their LF giant.



Having someone like Chas in LF or another left-handed (Singleton) bat swinging toward the shorter fence may be smart.
Or does Dusty play Yordan in LF to see how he might do in case we have to come back in the playoffs?

If he plays then it'll be tonight with Framber.

I think we know how he'll play. He's not going to be able to cover that much ground. I think we'll see the Chas-Jake-Tucker OF.

1 run games are a measure of luck. They rarely correlate to winning %. Extra innings are another thing altogether.

Id like to see him out there at least once and see how it goes, might as well do it tonight. The other games have him DH, Chaz in LF and Jake in RF.

I dont see Jon getting anything but a late PH attempt for Jake in a tight spot and then plug Doobie in CF

Jose-4
Pena-6
Alvarez-7
Bregman-5
Tuck-9
Abreu-3
McCormick-DH
Jake-8
Maldy-9

I assume you meant Jake at CF, but yes, I agree, i think Dusty wants to see how Yordan handles that huge LF.

In an idle situation, in this park, with this roster, and such a short left field, it could be fun to see Yordan at DH, Chaz in LF, and Singleton at 1B.... and throw Diaz at C..... but we know partically none of that will happen.... haha

the Astros are 17-28 in extra innings since Manfredball began in 2020

the dugout really struggles with strategy in extras

I just want to point out that the age old adage that if the umpire's name is recognizable then he's awful at umpiring is accurate AF.

Completely agree with the edit. Struggles are magnified and quantified by the extras but exist in general throughout the game.

it's weird though

the Astros are 63-42 this season in regulation games

which is an excellent record

My lineup has Jake in CF. I messed up and put Maldy -9 forgetting I was listing positions rather spot in the lineup

I'm a firm believer you should play small ball if you are tied and batting in the bottom of Manfredball. You should maximize your chances of scoring just 1 run.

Alternatively if tied and in the field in the bottom you play it the other way. Immediately walk the batter to make a force and DP. A player on 3B and 1 out and I walk them full or at least set up DP.

Just think how good it could be if we had our best players in the lineup every day and didnt leave yordan standing in the on deck circle with only 3 at bats in a close loss.

i figured, but in your first sentence you said "Jake in RF".... I assumed a mistake.

Agree. We lost an early season home game in extras against the Tigers in this fashion. Went to the bottom of the 10th tied. We didn't bunt. Next guy hit a long fly ball. We didn't score and ended up losing 7-6 in 11.

An example of what the big LF can do to a player.

Alex Bregman has a respectable 18 HRs this season. If Alex played every game at Camden Yards, he would have 7.

My first thought after seeing that graphic of Camden was no homers from Breggy this series.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Speaking of Blue Jays
If you didn't see our boy George last week



And since then he's been very George-like. Will always cheer for George!

He cleared the 2nd bullpen. Its too bad he's not a lefty. He could have gotten a plaque on the street outside.
