[Official] Astros @ Royals

Is Michael Feliz winning ROTY improbable?

 

Altuve trippin' in all 6,000 languages. The dugout scene doesn't get old.

Very. Not going to pitch enough innings most likely and without closer status...no chance a reliever gets it.

ROY is still a very open race. Devenski if he went back to starting would have a shot. If Reed has a couple weeks to start career like White he's in it.

 

Reed has the chance, but i think right now the bid advantage goes to Manzara

 

Sweeping would be huge. Would win the season series and be able to host in the event of a playoff spot tie.

 

Hopefully they can break through against Ian Kennedy like they did against Young. I believe Kennedy is another one of those random guys the Stros have traditionally struggled against.

With Fister on the mound, they have as good of a shot as any stros starter.

 

Makes me wish Conger was in the background doing the robot... that'd be perfect.

 

Not if one of them is the division winner and the other is the wild card...

 

Reed in the field.

Not sure why I find it amusing that Gattis hits #9.

Sure hope Altuve's foot is doing okay after fouling one off it yesterday. He did go on to do that beautiful almost-triple but hopefully DHing him is just a precaution.

 

Again, i like this lineup, last night i was thinking of it, and is exactly as i like, why?
Yes, Castro not playing but is a day game after a night game, plus a righty pitching. Yes, Castro hits righties and Gattis don't, but Kennedy is equally "good" vs both, he is not dominant vs right handed hitters.

I like the lineup plus giving a day off on the field to Altuve.

Good lineup by Hinch.

 

Am I getting my hopes up that we may have lucked out and be getting a 2014 like year for, Fister. Dude has been our best starter thus far.

 

his peripherals don't suggest he's doing as well as 2014--especially with the high walk rate. But let's just hope the luck (or whatever you want to call it) continues. It's balancing out some of the stuff Keuchel has had going on (even though he's definitely not pitching like a Cy Young winner or anything)

 

Gattis, batting 9th and catching, only one of him or Castro in lineup...

my dreams are coming true.

 

it's a good looking line-up but i'm kinda surprised Marisnick isn't getting a token start today.

 

i'll literally never have a single gattis or castro complaint when they are in this spot. hope this is a sign of how hinch plays it from now on. they both have tremendous value there. i'm pumped.

could be another whooping today.

 

Gattis batting against a righty again. But I'm fine with it because he's catching. I'm assuming either Castro needs a break or Fister is comfortable with Gattis.
