Idk
Snell is back tomorrow. Depends what version of him they get
CFM, Snell and Glasnow is salty if they are at the top of their game

A big if for sure though

They get Dodgers, Yankees and red sox(down year but they are still a potent team)  for 8 of 11.  I just think they are gonna get ran and Cleveland will pass them.

Royals: “oh really?”

We were very much on track Friday night until Springer said "fuck this shit!"

Tampa definitely has the toughest remaining schedule of the AL wild card contenders. Thankfully the Astros have the easiest schedule of the big 3 but unfortunately MFY are not far behind.

Barring disaster the Dodgers should remain in the rearview. Only real challenge should come from MFY but Canada really did us a solid by taking two from the damn Yankees

ok, so let's talk schedule, pitching, and verlander's 300k:

17 tues - texas - verlander

18 wed - texas - cole

19 thurs - off

20 fri - laa - greinke

21 sat - laa - miley

22 sun - laa - verlander

23 mon - off

24 tue - @sea - cole

25 wed - @sea - greinke

26 thurs - @laa - miley

27 fri - @laa - verlander

28 sat - @laa - cole

29 sun - @laa - greinke

 

does this look right?  verlander has 275k, so he'll need 16-18 to make 300 realistic on friday the 27th.  i don't see him pitching more than 6 innings.  also the alds starts friday the 4th, so we're good on rest.  meanwhile, cole already has 292, so he could get 315-320+.

looking at recent leaders, it looks like sale 2017 (308) is the highest in the last 15 years.  more than that, you gotta go back to early 2000's randy johnson.

i may try to go down there on friday/sat and see verlander/cole.

When was the last time two teammates had 300 Ks?

Also do you really expect Cole & Greinke to pitch in 3 days rest?

Pretty sure they already said 28th is a bullpen day. UtexasFight can confirm or not

 

 

Also dont think 25 is gonna be shit. He is about to get half that tomorrow against the Rangers

 

Damn I guess Nolan never hit 300 as an Astro only as an Angel and Ranger.

Also the Astros have only had 2 300 K pitchers (Scott & Richard) unless you count the Big Unit part time in 1998.

Edited by Pimphand

Would have been a lot better if the Seattle series was Mon-Tue then we could have rolled out on normal 4 day rest for everyone

When was the last time two teammates had 300 Ks?
Probably Schilling and Big Unit around 2002

It looks like 2002 is the only time two pitchers on the same team have struck out 300 in a season

yeah, you're prob right.

i originally just had the verlander dates, so i could figure out which game i would go down to anaheim for.

then i just filled in the rest.  a bullpen game makes sense.

fuck these off days

Here’s the screengrab I took from a week or so ago when I mapped it out
Don’t have time to find and quote the original post
Tags tweeted the 28th would be a bullpen day back when Hinch announced the 4 man rotation.
Assuming he was just doing the math too and that’s not been specifically announced by Hinch

Y’all are all worried about who we are gonna play.  I guarantee you nobody wants to play the astros and their ridiculous lineup of 900 ops goliaths.

15 tomorrow would be awesome

I bought tickets to the 22nd after his last start when it looked like he’d be in line to get 3,000 that day.

A 3,000/300 double on the same day would be amazing

Where do we stand for the run differential crown ????

We're in first at +255. The Dodgers are second at +240. The Yankees are third at +188.

What’s the record for 162 games?
I want +300

The 1939 Yankees were +411 but that wasn't in the 162 game era.

good god, i was so out of it today, i was doing calculations on jv getting 300 (instead of 3000 which is what i originally cared about).  what the fucking fuck.  the trucker hats have some sort of paint and you shouldn't be huffing them.

he has 2981, which means he could get it home vs anaheim.  but if he doesn't, he'll definitely get it in anaheim, likely early on.

this is on you assholes for not correcting me.  there i said it.

fyi, we finished 1st with +263 last season, which i assume is a franchise record.

plenty of those should fall this year.

This may be the most encouraging thing I've ever heard.

Yeah, he has been fast as shit since he returned. Maybe he's been feeling so good that he figures baserunning rules don't apply to him.

he needs to lay off that low and 4 ft off the plate away pitch 

Edited by tx 3 putt

Magic number sits at 4 now thanks to the Royals 

Springer

Brantley

Reddick

Tucker

Marisnick

Straw

 

6 outfielders, obviously can't take all of them into the ALDS round (not sure if Straw will be considered a good enough infielder by Hinch).

 

Tough decisions coming up.

Leave off Reddick right? I know he's a veteran but that hasn't exactly translated to steady production in the playoffs. I think he has a low or negative defensive WAR so he can't really replace Marisnick. Everyone seems to keep a speed guy like Straw. Maybe you decide if Marisnick gives you enough speed or Straw enough defense to only keep one of them.

I’m just glad to see this lineup tonight:
Springer
Altuve
Brantley
Bregman
Alvarez
Correa
Gurriel
Chirinos
Tucker/Reddick

Just don't get used to it...

Just don't get used to it...

Ha
No kidding
I think we all agree that’s our ideal lineup. I wonder what percentage of games we’ve had that since Yordan was called up.

is Correa actually playing tonight?  Is that confirmed?

Man this is a discussion that should be interesting here lol.  I can only imagine some peoples outlook on this

Here’s how I see it

 

Infielders (6): José Altuve, Alex Bregman, Carlos Correa, Yuli Gurriel, Aledmys Díaz, Myles Straw

 

Outfielders (6): Michael Brantley, George Springer, Josh Reddick, Jake Marisnick, Yordan Alvarez, Kyle Tucker

 

Catchers (2): Robinson Chirinos, Martín Maldonado

 

Starting pitchers (4): Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, Zack Greinke, Wade Miley

 

Relief pitchers (7): Roberto Osuna, Ryan Pressly, Will Harris, Joe Smith, Héctor Rondón, Chris Devenski, Josh James. A heathy Peacock would replace James or Devenski.

 

I really wish we could leave Devo off 

 

Just put in my vacation....I will be attending Game 3 of the ALDS no matter where we play

I think that is the ALDS roster, subject to Peacock getting healthy or Abreu getting hot.

I think they will drop a position player in favor or another P when they get to ALCS

Tucker and Reddick are redundant right now.

Marisnick is your best defensive player, he's in. Straw has value with his speed and versatility - in other words, he adds something others don't to the roster. 

Tucker and Reddick don't add any unique dimension. I'd give the kid a shot, but it's probably more likely that Reddick is in and Tucker isn't. 

 

I'm pitching the 28th

Reddick needs to keep hitting. Remember rosters can be changed between series 

Royals managed an unlikely comeback to take 1 from OAK last night. Magic number is down to 4. KC has single-handedly halved our number since Friday. 

Division should be clinched no later than Sunday.

Tucker can also steal bases

Yup, and Reddick is slow. I just think Reddick will get the nod based on experience (and he has been hitting lately).
