We'll see how good he is or how long he can actually go after a 5 week layoffMr.Ackar07 said:bearkatag15 said:

Rangers look like a hot team right now, but at this point we just need to get one more win and then worry about that next, Twins are not just going to roll over. Gotta give the Rangers credit, they are a hot team at the plate.
Don't think this going to be a one season ride for the O's. They need to find a couple of veteran guys that have been there and done that. Not necessarily high dollar free agents but sign guys like Brian McCann, Charlie Effin' Morton, Josh Redick, etc.BadAggie said:
Well congrats to Baltimore on their season, winning a division with the amount of money and bullshtt devoted to the Yankees and Red Sox every year, as well as solid competition from the Rays and Jays.
this is such a nut kick to Os fan

After not pitching at all for 5 weeks? The last time they trotted a guy out after that long with no rehab starts didn't go so well.

We've seen scherzer go from barely able to move to completely dominant before. He must have gotten another one of those magic shots.
If the current score holds, the AL East will have gone 0-7 this post season.
Notice that Nervis got up today but wasn't brought in. Hopefully he shtt out whatever virus got ahold of him in game 1. Gonna need him.
Big appearance by Brother Phil, he's come a long way from losing a fight with his locker for a playoff roster spot.
Abreu. Lethal. Actually both Abreus were today.
Brown's appearance could've gone worse.
Didn't have to use Pressly and hey, Montero didn't give up any runs.

What is the RF line ump doing standing there making no call?

I thought brown pitched pretty dang well. He was sitting the corner but blue was squeezing the hell to of him.
Ain't that the truth. Brown may be just fine coming out of the pen.
Imagine someone telling you in June that in October we would be gearing up for another URQUIDY day with a chance for him to help us advance to ALCS!

Uhhh. We're gearing up for Urquidy day.
Winning tomorrow even more important now. Gotta set up our pitching. Going 5 is no bueno.
Yeah, I was worried this was where not having Graveman would hurt until the lead grew, but Brown-Maton-Montero with Abreu not throwing that many either in a comfortable win is a best case scenario. You'd think he can go tomorrow if needed and Neris and Pressly are fresh.

So many Astros on this list. Berkman is pretty surprising at the top

With Thursday off regardless, I think Neris will get an inning no matter the score. He hasn't pitched since his bad outing on Saturday.
Abreu has become the panic button lately, much like Will Harris in 2019, so I see him as available at any time. Pressly won't pitch except the 9th up by 4, perhaps stretch it to 5 run lead to lock it down.
France should be ready for long relief, or to get an inning like HB did today.

Oh yeah, Redheads for Astros!

Berkman was a monster in the playoffs, he never got the hype, and his greatest moments were overshadowed, but he was always a bright spot. It's surprising to see him at the top, but not that he's on there.bearkatag15 said:Yo FanGraphs finally added Postseason leaderboards

Will Brantley not play tomorrow?
Dusty already said Brantley is playing tomorrow. Move Chas to CF and the Yordan/Brantley at DH or LF, don't really careWabs said:

Yordan cares. He plays LF. It's the difference between very good and MVP level.
Looks like Leclerc is the only reliever they can really trust right now. If the Stros get that far, it's really as simple as not letting all their starters go 6-7 innings.
Ok, Brantley it is. Put him in LF and Chas in CF.

And not pitching to Seager.
Funny how if you told the board before the season that Abreu would hit 2 HR and drive in 5 RBI in a ALDS game the response would've been well duh
Did I just hear a "we want Houston" chant?
Yes.
Noted.
Noted.
This was such a clutch win and reminds me of the WS last year. We had just dropped a gut punch loss at home that we'd pretty much thought of a win.
What happens? Javier begins a WS no-hitter!
