This is how I'd line up the pitching

Game 3: Javier
Game 4: Urquidy

If you somehow get it to 2-2, I'd go France game 5 and save JV for game 6, then Javier game 7. Risky but I dont trust Framber at home.

If it's 1-3, then I'd go JV game 5


Framber start goes as expected today tbh.

Javier is the 2 and Urquidy 3

Something like 5 wins in our last 20 games at MMP. Just incomprehensible.

I wish there was a way to fix it like Philly did with Turner.


Can we switch dugouts and be the away team

If this was against the orioles or rays, I'd be frustrated but not angry

It's the rangers… that changes things.

Same


Same. Their fans are dbags. Not surprising since most are Cowboys fans too. It's the equivalent of the sips beating the Ags in the playoffs.


Another fellow Dallas-ite who feels my pain! The amount of arrogance they have for a team who has historically sucked is crazy. Want this series so bad to shut them up.

No offense taken. I enjoy all the discussion here. I definitely knee jerk react to some of the individual plays and immediately want to post my disdain. Totally get it.

Which is why I get very frustrated when we don't play up to our potential or get so close but yet so far. It's been a nice cover for any other Aggie team in recent years.

You go JV regardless in game 5. You are either trying to save the season or you are going for the sweep and momentum before heading home.

And Framber pitches game 6. I fully expect a locked in bounce back game.

20/20 hindsight but Javier and Urquidy as games 2 and 3 starters might've been the way to go. Framber hasn't been a 2nd starter for some time. If his turn comes up again hopefully it's skipped.

What in the world are you guys talking **** about if we're down 2-0 in the series and have never had a lead?

Just stay off the MFin thread. Problem solved

The no-hitter and then Javier's early struggles are what has kept Framber the #2 starter IMO. But that seems like forever ago now.

For game 3 I would go with Brantley, Diaz, and Dubon in the lineup. Maldy couldn't settle down Framber nor hit a pitcher he has previously. Chas is just not producing.

Mine are wrong since I assumed Framber would be competent today.

I'll go sadly…
G3 Astros
G4 Rangers
G5 Astros
G6 Astros
G7 Rangers

Hope I'm wrong but if feels like this will be the series of missed opportunities and "if only we had ____"

Hey, Porkchop. You were real good last post-season at predicting scores but I haven't seen one this year. Got any predictions for us?
Sorry I got offline to make dinner and help study for math tests. I predicted 6-2 the game we beat the Twins 6-4, but haven't had the voice in the field talk to me so far this year.

Of all the players we've seen come and go during this run I'll be the least sad to see Tucker go

It appears his "I'm just doing a job" mentality is good for the 162 grind but when everyone steps it up a notch for the playoffs he's getting left behind more often than not

Does anyone in here even know any rangers fans personally? Other than a couple of people I've met through TA, which are good dudes I might add, I don't. I've got several yankee, bosox, and cubs acquaintances, but no rangers. Hell, even the displaced cowboy fans that I know are Astros fans.

Dubon and Chas are the same this postseason.

Chas 6-19 and has hit in every game he's played. All singled.

Dubon 3-8 all singles.


Chas had the worst AB of the day in the 8th and that says a lot considering there were multiple bad ABs today.

It goes back even further...7-20 at home since August 13.

That's a .259 winning percentage, if you're scoring at home.

It's kind of amazing that a team who has been playing Oakland A's-level baseball at home for two months now is still playing at all.

This team (or any Astros team) hasn't ever climbed all the way out of an 0-2 hole...hopefully the team will respond in game 3 and make them sweat a little. We've done pretty much nothing right when it's really mattered so far in the first two games.

I just told a friend on Saturday to not be surprised if we drop 1, or even both games at home first before we go on a tear.
