Bullpen(besides Pressly) can’t get 3 outs and protect a 4 run lead? “You’d be b****ing either way, if he didn’t go to Pressly and they blew it!”
Nice centerfield compilation by Fox. I think the crew was pretty neutral on the Astros tonight. Lots of praise.
I would like to think the same. The Astros are in an unusual place in history right now because of the 2017/Fiers BS. Click better pay up. It would be worth it for narrative alone.
Astros have the highest run differential along with the hardest schedule played so far in the Majors. Literally.eveey aspect of how they win is elite. They have the best record in the majors against .500 teams also.
Im not opposed to letting some key players rest tomorrow if necessary. Big 20 game stretch coming up. Start Robel and Toro perhaps?
We're four games into that 20 game stretch already. Starters on a 6 man rotation have gone 4.1/4 Innings (piggyback), 5.2/2 Innings (piggyback), 7 Innings and 7 Innings. I include Javier as a piggyback starter, even though he's not in the 6 man rotation. This left relievers to cover 9 Innings in 4 games. Pressly covered three, Stranek covered three, Garza, Jr. covered one, Bielak covered one, Taylor covered 0.2 and Raley covered 0.1. I fully expect McCullers to go 5 and Javier to go three tomorrow. Imagining a Dusty getaway day lineup with a possible sweep on the line. Old School Unwritten Rules. R CF Straw L DH Brantley R RF McCormack L LF Alvarez R 1B Gurriel S SS Garcia S 3B Toro R 2B Jones L C Stubbs This may not be enough. We might have to activate a Rookie player or two just for this game. Maybe let Greinke play 1B.
