You play with fire and eventually you get burned. Way to get on base any way you can JP3!

at what point are they just going to walk yordan every at bat regardless of the situation

Game negative 1. Bad game plan. Bregman is fine. He’s good. He’s just not going to carry a team on his back like Yordan. You pitch around him every time there’s a dude on base imo.

Peña’s double and single are reversed they walk Yordan just now and we’re still losing 

Probably.  I don't think they would IBB the go ahead run but probably throw him 4 in a row down and away that he wouldn't chase.

Exactly. If I'm on D I don;t like pitching to either of those guys, but if I have to pick one throw to, it's gonna be Bregman most of the time.

The Yankees will walk him whenever possible if they meet in the next round.  They did it earlier in the year already.

Had to change up the energy.  Stopped watching and went to go pick up my dogs from daycare.    As soon as I got in car and connected phone, first thing I heard was Ford’s call of Yordan’s HR.

They do a great job with the bumper music.

Imagine if someone told you in 2021 that Bryan Abreu would be pitching the 7th in a one run playoff game and you'd be fine with it. 

 

*and of course he's doing his best 2021 Abreu impression. fuck

Probably sounds crazy and Hunter Brown probably needs to get a restraining order against me, but I’d have put him in in the 7th and told him to go get me 9 outs.

I was just thinking the same thing.  I wouldn't have used him in Game 1 either though.  I'm not sure I'd ask him to do it on 1 day's rest when he's been a starter for his whole life.

But I would have been pitching him 2-4 innings every 3rd or 4th day since we called him up to get him ready to do the same thing in the playoffs.

Got away with that hanger.

Filthy.

Good move by Dusty. Abreu didn't have the FB today, and France would make Abreu throw a ball in the zone.

He’s actually thrown a decent amount in the bullpen this year. Both AAA and here in Houston. It’s a smart strategy by management.

Yeah, that's 3 relievers for 4 outs.  It works until someone runs in to trouble and the next thing you know you're making Pressly throw in the 8th.

This is weird.  Is there some reason Abreu can't throw to France?

Yeah- it really is odd. They must have just decided they liked Montero in this pocket for whatever reason. There’s no way Dusty is doing this by the seat of his pants- they saw something in the scouting report that meant they wanted this matchup. No idea why. 

#23335

I swear a backup QB and a middle/setup guy are the best contracts in sports. You won’t make the front pages most days or hall of fame most likely, but the pay is good and the work is low.

Day off tomorrow. The Astros have plenty of pitching.

He didn't have good stuff today. The playoffs is the time you pull the guy as soon as possible.

Yeah. Because that's nearly 5,000 miles.

France has a 7.6 runs above average against the slider, while is -2.6 against the change.

France is pissed.
