    If they don’t win today, there is no game tomorrow. They have to do whatever is necessary to win today and then worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

    Let’s assume we keep Springer and Brantley and Yordan comes back healthy. Trade Greinke. Rotation in 2021 is...
    Valdez
    McCullers
    Urquidy
    Javier
    Whitley

    Astros winning 90+ games?

    Wait... your starter is 6'8 and you have a 6'10 guy in the bullpen too.

    Our basketball team don't have that kinda height!!!

    That's like the coaches that punt on 4th and 1 at midfield. It sounds good and is what's been traditionally done, but it's bad math and reduces your chances of winning the series.

    Your goal is to win 4 games, not 1. Would you rather have a 50% chance of winning each of 4 games, or a 75% chance of winning today, and a 30% each of the next 3? In the first case, your odds of winning the series is 6.25%. In the second, your odds are 2%.

    Ohh my damn.... Correa wasn't running hard on that DP

    Completely inexcusable in the regular season much less the post.
