Enjoy it, Tampa.  It's your last celebration of 2019.

They got the Buccaneers. 2-2 and poised for a playoff run. 

Nah, you're right. Last celebration of 2019.

Hope they have time to get all 32 Rays fans on the air.

Flight booked. Trucker hat mafia to Tropicana for game 3

Sounds right.  Can't use Snell first since he figures to only go 2 or 3 innings and they can't burn up the bullpen on Friday with another game Sat.

Looking at their stats and they're #2 in the majors in team ERA, but 18th in runs per game.  Only two guys hit over .280 and only one hit over 30 homers.  And they just burned up CFM, and Snell's far from 100%.  We should really sweep these guys.

We gotta play 'em one day at a time. I'm just happy to be here. Hope I can help the ballclub. I just want to give it my best shot, and the good Lord willing, things will work out.

Shit, I'd forgotten the Buccaneers existed.

So does Tampa. They are a hockey city and don't care much for their baseball and football teams unless they are winning.

I honestly want us to win in 4 so that Urquidy will get some confidence from the DS to serve him in the LCS and WS

I just hope our guys try their hardest and have fun.

Pisses me off that the Astros always get the afternoon start times on week day playoff games.

Well, since we are not playing Thursday I do not understand your enthusiasm.

Maybe you should "curb" it.

Hinch is getting the orange slices and participation trophies ready. Gonna take the team to Chuck E Cheese after the game, win or lose.

Post less, idoit

I was told there was a game today

I am already nervous. Watching the start of the Rays/As game last night I could feel the difference, the playoffs have started. 

I had a budget meeting scheduled for 10 am tomorrow that I know will go long. I had it moved to 7:30 am.

You're not going to give 110%?

Yeah wtf scraps? Did you already forget about your little excursion to Cincinnati?

If they lose game 3, we'll just have to burn them both at the stake and everything should be fine.

So we slugged .582 and went 2-6 in TB? This is why 8-game samples are useless, and trying to predict a short series is difficult.

Astros hitters had a .322 xwOBA against Rays pitching in 2019 while Rays hitters had a .254 xwOBA against Astros pitching.  That's a total ass kicking and yet the Astros went 2-8 against the Rays.  

Oh y'all are the same douchebags that think someone in nebraska talking about a no hitter going on in Houston actually makes the no hitter end.

 

Suck a dick!

 

 

Btw the loses in Cincy and the 2 in NY were the first time I have ever seen the astros lose on the road. I will shit in your trucker cap.

I'm not going to be able to make the meeting.  Tailgating.  Reasons.

We did win the first game though.  Take the first two at MMP, win the first in the Trop and call it done and dusted.

Ideal state to me is...

Win Rays in 4 that way Urquidy gets postseason experience early

Win ALCS in 7 while NLCS ends in a sweep

Win World Series in sweep with the rookie getting the final dub.

Since the national league starts a day early they get an extra day off than the AL by default so if they can sweep the NLCS that would be 6 days off so rust can accumulate while the Astros would be on normal rest and leading off with JV on the hill.

Astros were 3-4 against the Rays in 2019.  The 2-8 number is over a 2 year period in Tampa alone.  This year that road series was the opening series.  Astros didn't score much and went 1-3.  In the August home series, the Astros went 2-1 while scoring 15, 8, and 8 runs.  Cole and Greinke had rough starts.  We won Cole's start 8-6 and lost Greinke's 9-8.

I don't really care much about last year's performance or the opening series' performance.  If anything, that late August poor pitching performance at home would have me more concerned.  Still, I'm not all that concerned with that either.  Outside of Greinke and a handful of other players, the Astros are pretty well playoff tested.  Astros should win this series 3-0 or 3-1 unless they just shit the bed.  Shitting the bed is always possible so I'm not counting chickens yet anyway.

2-6.

Everyone is now 0-0. First one to 11 W’s, wins it all

Hinch’s name already being floated for the Mets job. From a Mets blog

The Astros manager is Brodie Van Wagenen's close friend, and industry speculation has swirled for months that the Mets might try to trade for him. This one is likely to remain an interesting rumor, though. Folks familiar with the situation say that while Hinch might be ready for a new challenge, a manager trade would simply be too complicated, and too much of a longshot.

 I'd rather have a sweep but have one of the games be one of those double digit blowouts. Let him pitch with some playoff pressure, but not a close game situation. 

Just got tickets dropped in my lap and the boss lady was like hell yeah take the afternoon off. 

Of course. Why would anyone ever be concerned about Correa's ability to play. 

Nice timing by Mrs. Reddick.  

Hahaha
I remember when they first posted on social media about being pregnant, I did the math and immediately thought “he better not be planning to take paternity leave during the playoffs”

Disappointed Reddick didn’t name his kids Stylin and Profilin

So Reddick named his kids Maverick and Slider?  Where's Goose?  I guess Cougar turned in his wings.

Charlie Morton was at Pinkertons for lunch.  Told him congrats on the win. He said thanks. Laid back and normal guy.
