Is Marwin the last switch hitter the Astros had on the roster?

If I see Altuve swing at another first pitch and proceed to roll it over to the SS I will punch a brick wall.

If it was up to me...

Altuve
Brantley
Yordan
Bregman
Tucker
Abreu
McCormick
Pena
Maldonado

My only concern would be how double play prone Bregman is... but I think it's a risk worth taking.
You know damn well if it was up to you Maldy isnt in the lineup...

Altuve
Brantley
Yordan
Bregman
Tucker
Diaz
Abreu
McCormick
Pena

The lineup wet dreams are made of
That is the Lineup of Death. It gives Max no easy outs, no breathers, nothing. Hopefully Dana has the pull to make it happen.

I'd put diaz at 7 or 8. Abreu has been good or at least solid. Diaz hasnt had enough ABs lately.

I can see FO thinking that whatever makes Javier comfortable and is more likely to lead to a quality start from him has more importance than the absolute best possible offensive lineup.

Javier is tougher than Framber but this is a high leverage spot in the series. In the ALDS it was Maldy catching Javier in game 3, would be surprised if that isn't the case today.

Yeah hero ball to lead off is not the way to go today.

You wanna put 20+ pitches and some runs on Scherzer in the first.

Here's a question if we have to pinch hit for Maldy and Diaz starts at DH could we move Diaz to catcher and put someone else in at DH?
No matter what!
Epstein didn't do, you know, the thing...

Yea. Happy to eat crow if I'm wrong but it's very hard to imagine Diaz starting behind the plate at any point during this series. If it's gonna happen, it probly has to be tonight.

In G4, I think we'll go back to the well with Urquidy-Maldy. Then Maldy catches JV in g5 and Framber in g6 when we'll have a chance to clinch our 5th WS birth in 7 years.

Dusty and the NY Mets would be a match made in heaven based on JV's comments about them and their being so far behind on the analytics and preparation side of things.

Hell at that point they should've just stuck with Buck.

At this rate, Dusty will be the first guy to manage a game 100 years after he was a player.

First move - platoon Alonso at first until he's earned it.

I do agree but I'm also a lineup-lengthening purist at heart. I don't believe in the mantra of stack your best hitters 1-7 and then have a bottom of the lineup that might be 3 up 3 down

[Nobody caught a ban for posting rally pics. Users caught bans in Game 1 for posting criticisms of moderation on the thread, which is a violation of user agreement. Nobody caught a ban in Game 2 for posting rally pics. Again, if they posted criticisms and started to make the thread about moderation, they were given time off. Same thing happened today. There are users that have posted rally pics during Game 1 and 2 currently posting on this thread. They were reinstated early before Game 2 so that they could be a part of this thread during Game 2. They have not been banned for posting rally pics. You want to make your posts about moderation? That's fine, we will suspend your posting privileges and have the conversation via email. Otherwise, just post about the game and the team. If it comes to rally pics, just make sure they are not too crazy. If one gets taken down, don't complain about it on the thread, email us and complain about it. It's that simple. - Staff]

Maybe TexAgs is having a bandwidth issue and doesn't want to pay for the next strata of Cloud space.
