I can't wait for those NL Division series to go 7 games. 

That will be high drama.

The AL series both going six games in a five-game series will be pretty special as well.

if you could make a deal with the (baseball) devil, would you trade a world series victory this year for not making the playoffs for the next 15 years?

Nope.  I'd rather just let our current squad and minor league system play out.  There should be multiple championships coming.

pretty much what we expected...just glad saturday doesn't interfere with TX ou watching.

alright boys, planning on taking Friday off - pregame plans anywhere? Hoping the wife can get off to meet in time, too.

Hopefully UTPhil isn't going. 

The Astros could win 130 games and be two time champions and next year would still get the early game because Red Sox/Yankees. 

Ready to crush Indian ass this weekend and shut up the haters again.

Was hoping for a 4 pm start on Friday, but fuck it.  

I got to work Saturday but will be done by 3:30 so that is perfect (not perfect that I miss the damn OU game though) 

Will it be possible to watch the game on Friday on TBS' website in a browser?  It was easy to watch the games on ESPN last year.

I have DTV and pretty sure I can log in and watch from there.  But i would assume TBS will let you watch on their site with a valid cable login probably.

I can do the same, but it will look better straight from their site.

Game watching at Great Heights Friday for those of you who can’t make the game. We’ll open at noon with $1 off all beers.

they must not think morton is healthy because if he was, he's starting game 3 over DK

disagree.  i think they realize morty can contribute from the pen, while dallas cannot. 

i stand by my statement that i'd rather dallas pitch a home game or not at all.  i would assume he'll have a short fucking leash in g3, especially if we're 1-1.  morty/lmj will be at the ready.

I’ll be at the Gaylord sports bar for both of them. I might be a little late on Saturday depending on how long I want to celebrate at the fair. 

Just called my Friday 2:00 client to advise that something's come up.

Go Astros!

i'm sure your client knows what came up if they're from houston lol

Nah, we're in Austin.  

I almost told her we could meet at Pluckers as long as she only talked about her account during commercials.  But I didn't want to sound rude.

don't worry, we'll be done early.

Might have already been posted, but per ESPN's playoff preview, the chances to win the World Series are:

Astros: 32%

Dodgers: 22%

Red Sox: 13%

I was told it was impossible to repeat

I was also told defending champs dont make the playoffs

And

Defending champs dont win 100 games

I was told the Yankees were the 2018 champions and this was all a formality.

They see a strong history in that park for Keuchel and a good rep against most of that lineup. His blowup 1st innings have mostly been at home this season(including  a bad 1st vs Indians at home) I’d much rather the opportunity to go out and set the tone before he steps on the mound these days.

Never go full helobius

i’m thinking this NLWC game seals the deal on Straw making the roster.

I’m thinking the goings on in that game aren’t going to drive the decisions of Jeff Luhnow and AJ Hinch.

I’m thinking the decision (to include) Straw was made well before that game

Yeah be careful what you wish for.

That dude had more career steals than plate appearances.

For a reason

I don’t think straw makes the roster. Kemp can pitch run if needed

How many relief pinchers are we carrying on the roster?

Kemp would be a slight improvement over Evan Gattis as a PR.  He's not very fast.

According to statcast you are correct!  Top speed exactly equal to Yuli in fact.  No where close to "fast".  Gattis is slower though.

Fisher and Marsinick are the fastest guys we have.  Is Fisher alive?

Have a statcast on Straw? Because he's probably faster than both of those guys, and Fisher can flat out fly.

yep - straw is probably the fastest guy in our organization. i think i read that somewhere, or maybe it was referenced in some story/article over the past year. 

Straw is probably somewhere in the 29-30 ft/s range.  He was allegedly over 30 ft/s in his first couple of attempts (per Kaplan) but he's currently listed at 29 ft/s (between 5-10 attempts) on baseballsavant.

Look at how lost Gore was at the plate last night.  Wonder if Maddon wanted that back later.  I guess it was his speed that got him to second and score easily.

any word on the roster for the ALDS?  or is the situation still fluid?

I thought I read somewhere that the roster would be announced Friday morning.

Last year it wasn't set until the morning of the game.
