    They look like a bunch of guys that are hoping the trip home will turn them around.

    They wrote this one off already.

    i have no idea what part of the question you're responding to lol

    obviously we need JV for game 7. i'm just questioning the use of Peacock now as to how it affects Morton/LMJ usage for game 7. Peacock today I feel like takes him out of game 7 for sure, no?

    Only an imbecile would blame the manager when every single player decides to go collectively blind when the ball approaches them.

    If you're gonna pose hypotheticals, at least offer up a realistic one. The Astros won't even lead 1-0 after the 1st inning on Friday.

    We win Friday. The pressure will be all on the Yankees to close it out.

    fair enough...it's right to say there's an asterisk since we don't know what would happen, i just felt like you were using the asterisk as to say we definitely would not have won.

    This is why I was not in favor of them starting Keuchel. If they won, I would still say the same thing. I was wanting to save the two Aces for the home stand.

    I'm pucking fissed right now. They are reminding of the late 90s that couldn't hit for **** in the playoffs.

    He definitely will be available. Everybody will be available if we can even get this to a Game 7.

    Unless they're being told to take the first pitch.

    You seriously think the Astros are gonna win this Friday? Verlander would have to pitch another shutout.

    4-0 in the bottom of the 6th wouldn't scare me too bad in the regular season. The hitter's approach is awful right now tho. Can they just please just forget every other AB and go back to being good hitters again?

    no doubt, they would be available in regards if it was like 20 inning game. i guess i should clarify, using peacock today (and also a chance tomorrow), i feel like takes him out of any situation in pitching during regulation of a possible game 7 - or even a possible start (which is gone now, obviously).

    I hear you, man.

    We won, but it's like we can't fully enjoy because the media - which many posters here clearly care about - keep bringing it up.

    Again, I'm very glad we won, and would accept more.

    Yes...I didn't type that well....NO, leave Peacock alone now. Agree...but added that I wouldn't want to see Morton in game 7.

    His apathy and stupidity have rubbed off on the team. And some fans apparently.
