Going to assume we’re locked in as the 6 seed (4 back of Yankees for 5 seed).

Do we want A’s, Rays, or White Sox in wild card round?

1.5 games separate those three right now.


I’m indifferent but will go with the A’s. Perhaps we beat Fiers to send them home.

or they beat us and put us out of our misery in this shitshow of a season.

If George is willing to take a shorter contract, something like 3/$75mm,  then he could stay. If he’s looking for 6/7 years at $30+ million per, then cya. 

Minor concern, but A’s would also mean easier travel if the Astros manage to survive the first round.  If they were to miraculously make it to the World Series, they would go from Arlington to Oakland to LA to SD and back to Arlington.  
 

So this a potential 5.5 week long road trip that just started. 

I feel like Rays or Sox. And really the Sox. Don’t wanna play a team that’s seen us 10 times already

Sweep the WC round and there are 4 days off before the LDS.

I don’t think they’re going to hangout in CA for that long

I do like the idea of the White Sox too.

DK vs LMJ would be fun.

I want no part of the White Sox.

Let's just play the A's some more fuck it. Would be fun to knock them out after they win a wack ass division title.

Who says Dusty doesn’t embrace advanced analytics. 

 

Springer kills it in Seattle too [emoji24]

(I have nothing to actually back this up but my memory so it may not even be right lol)

Damn just looked it up and its prob his 2nd worst AL west stadium just ahead of Oakland lol

With the expanded playoffs and financial uncertainty for many teams, I wouldn’t be that surprised if he accepted a QO.

Interesting thought but there is no way he won’t get an offer well in excess of the QO number. Don’t know this year’s number but last year’s was $17.8 million. 

I don’t trust a product that markets itself as “America’s Leanest Bacon.”

Dusty rockin the black gloves makes me laugh every time

Lulz, look like Kalas and Blum cutouts over the right hand batter's shoulder

you generally have to pay more per year on a shorter deal

Correa has had an impressive offensive fall over the course of this season

 

 

So if no one scores, we win on hits, right?  I'm pretty sure it's the tiebreaker, like "penetrations."

That's how I feel after the walk, error and double down the line

Back to my “who do we want to play in the first round” post.

answer: whoever the fuck will take two straight games from us and end this absolute shitshow of a season 

Good thing we have the top of the order up to start the comeback.  Oh wait... we’ve got an extra 9 hitter at lead off tonight.     

Tonight and our road record remind me that a four game lead is not safe.

Looks like road lance showed up

In his defense that double play or even a single out from it would have made that inning a lot easier. 

LMJ played very well. Offense continues to struggle against mediocre pitching. At least Altuve is showing some signs of life I guess.

Four pitch walk to lead off an inning doesn’t set you up for success.  

Christ Dusty

get him out of the fucking game

i get saving the bullpen.

let a backup catcher finish this off. Can’t be any worse than Bielak

Nice camouflage with the new account.

Well, no, it’s preferable not to walk anyone but a 2.7 BB/9 for the night is fine.

So Click added Dubin to the 40 man postseason pool but has no interest in taking him for a test drive during the regular season?

That might be the hardest Correa has hit the baseball since early August.

I don’t know what to make of the offensive struggles. Outside of Altuve, the problem has mainly been a lack of exit velocity, not a lack of plate discipline. Even Bregman looks like a slap hitter now. Maybe it’s just a product of the shortened season.

Good news: assuming we don’t go down to sat/sun still looking to clinch, the rotation will be set up for Grienke and then Framber in the WC round

bad news: Lance will be ready for game 3

Edited by UTexasFight

Imagine where the Astros would be if Framber didn’t magically turn into a 4+ win pitcher over a full season.
