October 6, 20232 yr I hope that's true, but he had a random start several weeks ago where he threw harder also and then it dropped back down to 93/94 in his next one.

Gm 1: Come on after OU game DGAF about the NL markets Gm 2: Prime time Sunday night baseball Gm 3: Given the number of LatAm players on the team and their penchant for hating the cold I'm ok Gm 4: See above Gm 5: IDMAS hopefully we don't need this slot and leave it for Balt/Tex

October 6, 20232 yr Game 1 - Verlander (13-8, 3.22) vs Ober (8-6, 3.43) Game 2 - Valdez (12-11, 3.45) vs Lopez (11-8, 3.66) Game 3 - Javier (10-5, 4.56) vs Gray (8-8, 2.79)

October 6, 20232 yr It’s going to be a tight series we’ll go as fas as our pitching takes us Edited October 6, 20232 yr by tx 3 putt
October 6, 20232 yr Damn gray finished 8-8? I know w/L is a garbage stat but that is surprising to me but admittedly i didn’t pay much attention to him after the first month or 2 when he was dominating us

Between giant douche and turd sandwich, I pick Dusty. Diaz was worth about 3 WAR more than Maldonado by both fangraphs and baseball reference despite having fewer plate appearances, in a division won by a tiebreaker on the last day of the season. Simply flipping the number of games started at catcher (117! vs 42) is likely enough to have made a difference in the standings by a couple of games. Its beating a dead horse, I know-but it’s not at all hard to argue with those results.

Led the league in ERA & Strikeouts only player in history to do so and not win the Cy Young because his W/L was 8-16

Its beating a dead horse, I know-but it’s not at all hard to argue with those results. And you know it’s going to make a difference in the playoffs…just a matter of when, I fear… and whether it’s in the game we’re actually eliminated or early in a series. I haven’t decide how I’m going to react when that happens, but if goes 0-4 with a GIDP and 2 Ks plus 0 CS and 1 or 2 passed balls, the probability of a remote going through the TV is going to look like one of those probability line charts that spikes to 99.9% at the very end
October 6, 20232 yr Can't wait to see Maldonado catch in Minnesota again. https://www.mlb.com/news/martin-maldonado-has-trouble-with-shadows-in-loss-to-twins

April 7: gametime: 3:17, sunset 7:48 Oct 10: gametime: 3:07, sunset 6:45 idk how exactly how earth axis and shit works in Minneapolis in April relative to Oct but all else being equal, seems shadows will be creeping across home plate right around first pitch Tuesday. hold on to your butts

October 6, 20232 yr Yep was about to come here and post this cause i was rewatching through the games i went to up there in April and remembered it is the same start time for that away game coming up. Damn Pena just hit a homer....would be nice to see one of those soon
October 7, 20232 yr Game 1 - Verlander (13-8, 3.22) vs Ober (8-6, 3.43) Game 2 - Valdez (12-11, 3.45) vs Lopez (11-8, 3.66) Game 3 - Javier (10-5, 4.56) vs Gray (8-8, 2.79)Ober over Joe Ryan seems like an odd choice

October 7, 20232 yr I mean Ryan had a rough last start, and probably a worse overall season than Ober so not surprising in that way.....but in the way that they were gonna let Ryan start a do or die Game 3 if they had lost game 2 and now bump him for a game 1 lol
October 7, 20232 yr Where we thinking best spot tomorrow morning to watch TX-OU before heading into Minute Maid?

October 7, 20232 yr 18 hours ago, Ojo Rojo said: I am mystified by the Machete over Diaz and literally anyone over Chas lineups. However, it is hard to argue with the results. Between giant douche and turd sandwich, I pick Dusty. Barry Switzer is a Super Bowl winning coach. It wasn't because of his coaching. That's not to say Dusty sucks to that degree, because he is one of the alltime winningest coaches in baseball. It's the deliberate obstinate bullshit that people are sick of. The Astros would win a shit-ton of games with my dogs as the managers and bench coaches. The dogs would probably fill out better lineup cards too. For a team who took analytics and data to the forefront of baseball, it's tough as fans to have seen those results and then watch an old guy( hey, I am one too!) just fucking wing it in the face of what the numbers support.
