I'm going with 5-3 Astros. Breggy 2 run bomb, Altuve solo shot, Abreu with 2 RBI.

I think I start Dubon at SS and Chas in CF today.
I told a buddy the same. Not going to happen and Pena has been great defensively... but we are basically giving the Rangers two outs at the end of the lineup, meanwhile their 8-9 can hit it out at any time.
I'd also bat Dubon 9th for when the order rolls over, and I'd move Yordan to 3rd. But easy for me to say.
Hard to win when you play 7 vs 9. Especially when that 9 has a low BA of .245 but that guys hit 39 home runs.

How is everyone doing this morning?
When you say Astros Baseball, what's the first thing that comes to your mind?
I want you to say Dynasty.
I'd be better if they won yesterday and it was a highlight of a really bad weekend. I got laid off Friday so not much positive in life at the moment
I'm 95% certain that I'm getting laid off tomorrow, but that date has already changed three times, so who knows. It's like the ALCS umpiring crew is handling layoffs, which I suppose means I could be one of those strikes that gets called a ball and stick around until the next round of layoffs.
Obviously losing tonight and getting laid off tomorrow is far from ideal, but I can't control either situation. If we lose, our window of opportunity is far from closed. And, unfortunately, I am not close to retirement age, so there will be other jobs.
Now LFG!
Honestly today has been ****ing miserable so far that I fully expect us to get bounced and I have to come to work tomorrow and listen to annoying Rangers fans all day long. Please don't let this happen Universe. Its already been a rough year

I want Alvarez batting third tonight. Make sure Scherzer has to see him first inning.
5 guys hitting under .200, bleh
Brantley and Tuck back to back. Interesting
Also I like Chas in this game

I think it's a combination of too many guys trying to hit it out to short left field, the dimensions set-up make it hard to get a multi-base hit to left field as the fielder plays off the edge of the Crawford boxes, and guys just don't try and go oppo with a pitcher throwing outside (all our right handers except Chaz on occasion fall into this trap). Tons of rollovers to SS
When we did go oppo last night it started a rally.
I'm still amazed that no coach (I'm assuming this based on the outcome), talked to Dubon and mentioned Leclerc couldn't throw a strike so take until he actually does. Maybe that kind of coaching stops in high school? I don't know.

Really feels like Bregman is the guy we need to step up tonight. He's trying to work the count every time up ,but with the umps this ****ty it's not working. Very frustrated watching him stare at 3-0 straight down the pipe last night.

Could not agree more. He had to know a hittable pitch was coming 3-0 with Yordan behind him with the numbers Eovaldi has against Yordan. He had to now Nathan would not give him a walk. Just watched a grooved FB.The Porkchop Express said:

Tell me about it
He was in dead take mode but a hitter like Bregman should be keyholing a FB and that FB was right there in that keyhole.

For real. That pitch was what coaches tell a young hitter they are ok letting them unload on for a first pitch swing. Man, what a wasted opportunity.Ag_07 said:

It's been raining all day in Austin. I'd like to think that symbolizes a new beginning and we have been cleansed of our home game woes

He goes dead take any time it's a 2-0 or 3-0 count. Then he gets that strike, then next pitch he usually fouls one off/gets one called on the edge and gets himself into a full count. He's become a predictable hitter when he doesn't attack on the first or second pitch
Maybe I need to shake things up and listen to the Spanish broadcast to get the home mojo working. TV and 790 have not been working. (I'm not fluent at all - but I'm sure I can figure out enough)Farmer1906 said:Our ALCS Game 7 lineup.

My thing is, if you take the 3-0 pitch, you might as well take the 3-1 and continue working the pitcher.

Altuve and Alvarez are likely going to have to win this game or it ain't happening.
Here's my take on tonight either we get blown out like last night or we win a tight butt clenching game
No matter what!
Epstein didn't do, you know, the thing...
I'm the rare Astros/Cowboys/Spurs fan. We do exist

I like that lineup better. Yordan has to bat in the 1st inning every game.
Average secondary market ticket price for #ALCS Game 7 between #Astros & #GoAndTakeIt is $388 — 54% less than 2017’s ALCS Game 7 (also in Houston).

Cheapest tix are under $100, and it’s the cheapest LCS Game 7 we’ve ever tracked.

Both of these are not good for my blood pressure.All I do is Nguyen said:

Either Altuve or Breggy get on in the first and Yordan gives us a 2 spot. Sets the tone.
Hell, why not both get on and give us a 3 spot.

Little different because in 2017 Astros fans were hoping for game 7 because we were down 3-2
Plus game 7 was on a weekend in 2017

Tucker has 3 run homer in 1st.

I will also not watch. Seems they perform better when I don't watch, so taking one for the team. I'll keep up with the score on my phone.bodaciousbood14 said:
