I know it seems impossible, but Clayton Kershaw is 1-47 in his 31 career post-season starts.
That's wild. Hard to believe.
Well, he is the guy who agreed to be in a commercial where he gives up a 9,000 foot home run. It's all about the attitude.

I thought there was a chance Urquidy would get a start.

Welp we know Dubon will be in CF then
I hate the picking and choosing of CF. Just play Chas. It's a moot point who's in center when we give up second base every time someone's on first.

ESPN works in little digs at the Astros in almost all their articles

along with many back-handed pseudo-compliments


What they added in there (more than once) about nobody rooting for Houston is pretty petty and pathetic, IMO. At the same time, I'm not even one bit surprised by it. Just adds more fuel to the fire.
Lets go ahead and win 3 or 4 more titles and complete our transformation into the Patriots!
We haven't even evolved to our final form

We all know Maldy is going to start, so I'd go with this lineup for Game 1.

Altuve 4
Bregman 5
Yordan DH/7
Tucker 9
Chas 8
Brantley 7/DH
Abreu 3
Pena 6
Maldy 2

That looks good to me and the second JV is pulled Diaz pinch hits for Maldy. That's what I'm hoping Dana is really pounding into Donkey's brain. Look, we'll let you start your buddy at catcher but you have to get his bat out of there as soon as possible.

I'm a Urquidy guy, so I'd personally rather have him start, especially on the road, but I assume JP will get the start with Urquidy hot in a tandem move.

I'm ok with that approach.

If it goes game 4 and we're not throwing JV on short rest then it's everyone not named JV/Framber/Javier. France, Urquidy, Brown. Whoever is getting outs.

IIRC Yordan hits better when he plays in the field and has even said he prefers it that way. If Dusty is gonna cater to pitchers and their wishes, why not Yordan? Uncle Mike should be the DH. That is a good lineup though.

It is also possible that this is simply keeping options open as we did with the back of the rotation down the stretch.

My guess is that Urquidy will be in the pen and if needed, will be used in relief in Games 1-3. If he has not been used, then he would be a candidate to start a Game 4. If he has been used, then next guy up (France).

That, or they will go with France outright. I cannot imagine a scenario where Brown starts beyond a last resort.

An Astros playoff game is always going to trump the Aggies playing a no-longer top-5 Alabama team. Not sure why you can't stop jabbering along about a team and a sport that is not the subject of this thread or this board.


You ok, Porkchop? You seem... grumpy... since your return from hiatus.

Just asking, brother- hope all is well!

Yeah, surprised Dusty didn't do this more in the regular season. Best of both worlds, assuming there is a mutual best in both.

Chas started in CF for all of Verlander's playoff games last year

I don't think we'll see the personal CF. Catcher is a different story

Edit: I see this was already covered. Carry on

Predictions for this weekend

Aggies win 24-17
Astros go 2-0. One low scoring close game, and one comfortable/low stress win.

If anyone can sit on the bench for the majority of the game and go to the plate 4 times and hit...it's Uncle Mike. The only downside is no Diaz.

So why does the NL get an off day between game 1 and 2?

It actually makes sense to give the day off to one league. You want games every night. If you split the days off then going into the LCS round one team could have an advantage based on schedule and not on finishing their series sooner. I prefer to not have the off day early because it puts the onus on the Twins. If they go with their #1 on short rest then game 2 is either their #3 or their #2 on short rest.
