To me there isn't a rotation. It's Chas's position. We can move him to LF for a defensive replacement Jake in CF.tjack16 said:
To me the center field rotation shouldn't include Meyers anymore. Dubon or Chas. Meyers doesn't need any at bats for the next 9 games
Or an occasional game where you want Dubon or Meyers vs a LHP.
The Lion's share in CF is Chas Kane McCormick's.
I agree, but probably not the time to **** on the guy that had one of the 2 hits before the 8th inning....
Absurd he did not do this. Absolutely absurd.Farmer1906 said:maca1028 said:
Was Kessinger on deck?!
He's our last position player before the pitcher.
However, mega brain should have left Singleton in, took Abreu out, and put the pitcher in the 4 hole.
I hope someone calls his ass out too.RED AG 98 said:Absurd he did not do this. Absolutely absurd.Farmer1906 said:maca1028 said:

Yeah totally. I was just saying at this point it shouldn't be a 3 person position. They need to start going into playoff lineup and rotation mode. In the playoffs Meyers is a pinch runner
About ****ing time!!!!!!
If we win the KC series then the loser of the Arlington-Seattle series is in a world of hurt.

Imagine if we did the unthinkable against a 100 loss team with nothing to play for and SWEPT them
Y'all can thank me. I turned the tv off for the ninth when I had to leave for an appointment.
the Astros magic number to make the playoffs is 6 now -- right?

Not this kind of talk again
So when Donkey benches him for two games in a row he's costing us at least one extra base hit but he'll thank him later.W said:

So who are we rooting for this weekend? Head says rangers but heart wants them to be the ones missing the playoffs
Once again, y'all are welcome! I'm 3-0 but I just can't afford to keep doing it.Prosperdick said:I did as well but it was my 3rd time to bet against them. The first two times the Stros proved me wrong with the last one a double digit run effort so if I have to lose $120 for the Stros to finally win I'm going to do it.gigemJTH12 said:
for the first time ever. I mean ever.
I bet against the Astros today.
I dont see how we win this game. maybe 2/10 we win this game. Just no juice right now.
and if we do...its such a big game that I'll gladly lose $50 to be wrong.
If not, Donkey just made me $100.
If you're not a better the above means the Orioles are favored to win...on the road. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Seattle, I think. It keeps us in control of our destiny. Then if Seattle kicks our ass, they earned it. A good argument could be made either way.

One does not simply sweep the Kansas City ****ing Royals. Best team ever in baseball imho.

There is zero chance Dusty puts you in the lineup tomorrow.
all in with the Mariners
since the Astros have the tiebreaker on the Rangers

Well we have a day off so I didn't expect it
This was before today's games.
Every time I look at those graphs, I laugh at Oakland. They were mathematically out of the playoffs opening day.
Still in first place beeches!
Given a Seattle win today - they are up 6-3 (B7) - both Seattle and Texas will have 84 wins.
Houston currently has 85 wins with 9 to play. Most likely "best case" scenerio is they go 5-4 over the last 9.
Given this, Seattle needs to go 6-4 to win the division. Texas needs to go 7-3 to win the division.
If either Seattle or Texas wins the ALW, then Toronto needs to go 6-5 over their last 11 to eliminate Houston from the playoffs.
So, the Astros need to win a minimum of 5 games with at least 1 in Seattle and Texas needs to win 4 of 7 vs Seattle and lose 1 game vs the Angels. If Houston gets swept by Seattle then they need to sweep either KC at home or Arizona on the road - and we all know Dusty does not like to embarrass teams by sweeping them.
If the Astros win 6 they are most likely ALW Champions unless either Texas or Seattle dominates the other.
Absolute worst case scenario:
At the current pace, Houston could easily go 3-6 over the next 9 (they went 3-6 over the last 9). In this case, it doesn't matter what Seattle and Texas do during their 7 H2H games.

Best case for us is Seattle wins that series 4-3, and then we beat Seattle 2/3
Would be an excellent time to get a little 5 game win streak….

Javier and the bullpen pitching lights out all day.

I think you are right, except for that number is tricky. If we win 6 games, we are guaranteed in. Normally, the magic number reduces when other teams lose, but this magic number of 6 does not decrease when the Rangers/Mariners lose in their series (until if/when one of those teams loses for the 5th time against each other). That number is already factoring in one of those teams losing 4 because it has to happen.
All I am rooting for this weekend is for the Astros to win. At this point, I don't know whether I want one of those 2 teams to win every game of their 7 or whether I'd prefer a 4-3 split.
We no start a GoFundMe for texasaggie2015 to go to the rest of the games because every time he does we blow people out
ALDS begins Saturday 10/7
This team really needs to win the division and get at a minimum Monday 10/2 through Friday 10/6 off.
If somehow the Astros went HAM in the next 6 v KC and the Seamen, and Seattle decisively beats Arlington this weekend, then there could be a rest game or two in the Arizona series.
But who am I kidding this is going down to the wire
Just a thought, if you don't take days off during the regular season then you increase your likelihood of getting days off in the first round of the playoffs

We need to start these final 9 with a sweep of KC. And we need it big time.

Apparently the games are 9 innings now. Many on here declared the game and season over around the 6th.
