I'll just quote myself, 2 sentences after the snippet you quoted: If the Astros hadn't dumped Osuna before Saturday, there's no good reason to...
I don't have any issue at all with this story, nor do I feel sorry for the Astros' having to deal with this. 1. When they acquired Osuna, they...
Astros scored 8 runs in the game before that one. And 6 runs in the game after that one. Yankees were down 3-0 in the 1st yesterday and managed...
Unless you think very little of the Astros offense, down by 3 in the first inning is not game-over.
Everyone thinks announcers are biased against them. Yankees fans are just as wrong as Astros fans.
Yeah, I'd start with Urquidy and Peacock, but if one falters, it creates a mess (or if yesterday had gone to extras). We're avoiding using...
Yup. I'd also probably add Miley or Framber or someone who can theoretically pitch a lot of innings in the bullpen game if we don't trust Rondon...
The flipside - their big 3 nullifies our big 3. Their #4 is better than us having to scrape through our whole bullpen. Their "slightly above...
NO NO NO. Y'all need to stop with this nonsense. Barring rain, the rotation will be Cole, Verlander, Greinke, Bullpen, Cole, Verlander, Greinke,...
He batted something like 0.315 with 3 doubles in the Rays series... He obliterated a bunch of balls during that series.
They have to get through 9 innings. Unless you want to see a lot of Abreu and Rondon, Hinch is going to have to give his relievers as much rope...
Stupid Gurriel. Should have hit that ball more softly.
LOL. You want or think hitters try to hit balls softly? Yuli hasn't struck out the entire playoffs - he consistently puts the ball in play,...
No there won't. Every manager in baseball would do the same thing because it was the smart, rational thing to do. You pitch your best pitchers...
Does it, though? It's hard to say with Cubs/Red Sox/Cardinals/etc since they have extremely loyal fanbases historically, but look at the Royals:...
You got your answer on Pressly yesterday.
LOL. He's a hall-of-fame pitcher that excelled in MLB for something like 15 years. Pretty sure he has won a lot of games in loud environments....
People need to stop making up bizarre reasons for things. Greinke also has a no-trade clause to the Padres, Angels, Reds, Rockies, Tigers,...
It's Greinke, Verlander, Bullpen, Cole. Barring injuries or something else really weird, nothing is going to change that, regardless of how these...
The Astros will have helped him become a better pitcher. He will hopefully have helped the Astros win a World Series. Seems like they'd be even...
