got 99 problems but the 100th win aint Juan! juan did what I would like every catcher to do when giles is up 0-2, just go chat with him about anything calm things down, waste a pitch see if the batter will take the bait. juan also shot down the boston redsox trying to loot 2nd base. A very important out. Centeno has four wins for us that I remember.
So tomorrow's forecast is rain all afternoon and evening. I wonder if they will try to play it tomorrow no matter what or if a double header on Sunday would be in play if necessary.
Not only that. If the Astros can force a tie for the AL East both Boston and NYY will have to go another pitcher deeper in their rotation. It's possible we face a #3 starter in Game 1. Astros need to keep playing hard.
Astros' third baseman Alex Bregman drove in all three runs for Houston as they notched their 100th win of the season, a 3-2 victory over Boston. It's the second time in franchise history that they've reached the century mark for wins in a single season. The Astros reached 102 wins in 1998, eventually falling in the NLDS to the Padres.
So let me understand this. If the Yankees win out. We sweep the sox. Yankees / sox are forced to play a 163. If by some miracle the white sox win out we could finish with the best and then end up facing a Boston team that played 163 for division, lose and 164 wildcard game. They could burn sale to avoid. Number 2 in game 163 and number 3 in WC game. So we would start DK or JV against their number 4 at MM. I guess it could be Yankees after two WC. Of course could be twins after WC game. BUUUT if the Yankees lose one or we lose one that's it. Its Stros Sox on regular rest. Odds are long on this one. Come on Baseball gods I'm dreaming big.
