    there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

    The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

  • Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

Stanek said it's  a prerequisite for going to college in Arkansas

Great night boys, this thread has been solid all season. We have a week to rest up and get ready for playoff baseball. Get those bad takes lined up  !!!

That celebration just wasn't quite the same without Reddick there breaking out the panties

Did hear a lot of ‘woo’s in the clubhouse, though.  My favorite celebration look was Colby Rasmus in ‘15.

So glad to finally get the clinch over and done and watch the boys celebrate at MMP.

The past week has been stressful as hell watching this team. Been sleeping like shit and waking up pissed. Though it was extremely unlikely we'd fail to win the division, it would have been the worst collapse in baseball history, IMO. 

This team isn't on the level of 2017-2019, but we're still damn good and have some of the best players to ever wear the Astros uniform. Let's see how far we can go. First step is locking down homefield for ALDS.

I'd disagree but that's my opinion. We were one game away last year in 2020 from a WS appearance. that was fucking impressive. This year, I honestly see us at least making it as far as last year. I like KoolAid though and Ive been drinking

I don't think we're that far off.  No we don't have a JV/Cole and we had a slew of injuries but when healthy our bats are on par with any of those teams.

Ford and Sparks were hilarious at the end of the loss the night before last....

After they apprehended that fan on the field, Sparks said

"How much money would it take to get you to do that, Rob?"

"No amount of money. I just wouldn't do it."

"Really?"

"Yep, wouldn't do it. Here's the kick and the pitch, Altuve looks at a strike."

"What about $5000?"

"Nope, wouldn't do it. Altuve is 3-for-9 against Cruz in his career with two doubles. Here's the pitch, cutter low and away."

"$10000?"

"No, Steve not even for $10000. Congrats to Yuli Gurriel -- that diving grab of Wander Franco's smash in the fifth inning was our Daniel's Jewelry Gem of the Game. Kick and the pitch, Altuve chase a slider low and away. He's really had trouble laying off that pitch, Steve."

"Yeah. What about $20,000. Final offer."

Dusty, re-sign him :

“He’s Big Game Carlos to me,” Baker says amid the on-field postgame fun. “The guy comes through time and time again. He believes he’s going to come through. You take his defense for granted. I’m just hoping there’s a way that we can retain him and sign Carlos because he’s a big part of this team. Not only on the field. But he’s one of the real leaders on this team.”

We need to root hard for the Mariners to make it into the ALDS if we want any hope of prime time games. 

Or the Jays. Can’t imagine FS1 getting too excited about a primetime Rays/Blue Jays matchup

but yeah, Yanks or Red Sox and we’ll be all afternoon games

I have to think after last night's division clinching winning performance, Lance McCullers becomes a dark horse CY award candidate.

2nd in AL in era

1st in winning percentage.

But of course, Gerrit Cole will win it. Be great if the Rays knock the Yankees out of the postseason.

But I think we want 

TOR to go 3-0

BOS and SEA to go 2-1

NYY to go 0-3

4 way WC tie.

So would that go First 2 Monday then the winner Tuesday then the winner of that Wednesday then the winner of that starts against the rays Friday?

Glad I was wrong about Yuli.  I thought he was pretty much done since he looked like shit last season (yeah I know a lot of people did, but with his age I thought that was the beginning of the end for him).  Told my buddy in March that I thought he would be pretty bad this season.  

Hoping he holds on and wins it 

#15698

So if Grienke is to come out of the pen what kind of limits are we talking here. Are we wanting 2-3 innings and rest for two days or 1 inning and can go again the next day 

#15699

We aren't wanting to see him is my thought.  If he comes in it is because we are getting our dicks knocked in the dirt and need someone to eat some innings.  

I don't think he has much value on a playoff roster

Particularly against the RHB dominant White Sox. His numbers this year against rightys are atrocious.
