October 20, 20214 yr Just now, TonyTexas said: Did you include Framber in the clown category prior to this game? No- Framber has pitched like an ace for 2 seasons now. And garcia and Urquidy could have a good game especially at home. But they’ve been pretty shitty this post season so far.

October 21, 20214 yr Anyone who wrote the Astros off after the third game doesn't understand the value of playoff experience and baseball talent.
October 21, 20214 yr I know it started last night, but tonight Valdez really demonstrated Earl Weaver's comment about momentum being tomorrow's starting pitcher.

And they throw their ace against our rookie who looks and feels like he’s hit the rookie wall. This series isn’t over by a long shot.

Yeah, they've gotta be solid favorites Friday night. I feel like we need an early crooked number to settle our kid in on the mound, but it'll be hard to get off of Eovaldi, unless he's feeling generous with the free passes.
October 21, 20214 yr Might still go to a 7th game in this series -- the day off comes at a good time for BoSox...

I’m hopeful that pitching in last night’s game takes a little of his pitches. At the very least, I think it gives a chance to get into their pen a little earlier.

Their ace is also coming off that disastrous 9th inning 3 days ago. Based on how the Scherzer and Urias have looked in their series, I wouldn't be surprised if Eovaldi is off.

And the day off comes at a great time for the Astros’ pitching staff too. They’ve been a bit overextended, to say the least.
October 21, 20214 yr The 24 pitches for Eovaldi shouldn't hold down his pitch count tomorrow since he would've thrown a bullpen session between starts anyway. But, he did blow up the other night and this will be the third time we've seen his stuff in a week. I expect him to bounce back, but you never know. Edited October 21, 20214 yr by TexArcher
October 21, 20214 yr He would have thrown, but actual game pitches are very different than a bullpen session. It hasn't worked out very well for the Dodgers this postseason.
October 21, 20214 yr I find it funny that people think that a normal bullpen is in anyway the same thing as 20+ stressful pitches in the 9th inning of the ALCS.
October 21, 20214 yr 15 hours ago, LTtxfan said: Might still go to a 7th game in this series -- the day off comes at a good time for BoSox... the Astros bullpen basically got 72 hours off/rest going into game 6, thanks to Valdez.

Of course it's not the same, but to think that Eovaldi will be limited to 25 fewer pitches tomorrow because of the ones he threw a couple of nights ago isn't right, either. If he's dealing, he can throw 100. We'll have to knock him out of the game.
October 21, 20214 yr 6 hours ago, Chuckie Finster said: I had a feeling this was going to come back and bite them in the ass. Just like the White Sox turd who brought up the cheating scandal. Cora knew it too. Don't give the Astros any reason to want to push your shit in, because they can and they will.
October 21, 20214 yr Also Cora is pretty close with Correa iirc so there's that as well. I don't think that moment is that big of a deal as far as motivating the Astros. Cora knows what drives Correa and how good of a player he is when he's on his game and he's usually on his game in the postseason.

At least choose something that is worth it, right?

If you're gonna have to choose a hill to die on, you might as well die on a hill in which Altuve hits a game-winning homer.
October 22, 20214 yr Since his boss gave him the ticket, he should tell his wife that not going will be considered a sign of disrespect and he will probably get fired. So he better go.
October 22, 20214 yr He is the dumbass that blew his load in her knowing 9 months later a kid could be coming.Shoulda came on her face and waited til March to knock her up....dumbass.

October 22, 20214 yr Fuck it. Going to the game today. Was a surprisingly decent season for the Sox, even if/when it ends tonight.
