    Game ain't even started yet and there's already fights about roster, batting order, lineup, etc.?? Dusty is a moron, Click is a moron, why this guy and not that guy, why is this guy hitting here and not there....Man we really are getting spoiled as a fanbase, when times are good, we invent things to argue and complain about. I remember not too long ago we just happy to be playing in October.

    Classic Dusty non-answer.

    Maybe it’s just his face, but Odorizzi always looked dour this season. Maybe not even on purpose, not a prick like Fiers, but just someone who gives off gloomy vibes. Idk.

    Just wait until the b****ing about the announcers starts ... worst part of playoff baseball imo

    Astros all about preserving postseason legacies, just ask Kershaw.

    Im not against it at all. Meyers probably has the best defensive coverage and he has the most upside overall. Chazzy Fizz (why is this his nickname?) is solid, consistent, and Siri is a complete wildcard.

    I actually love it. As soon as I get annoyed thinking Maldonado or [insert center fielder] is coming up, nope it’s bases loaded and Kyle ****ing Tucker comes walking to the plate.

    Tucker is one of the weirdest baseball players I’ve ever seen, but he produces like a mofo

    I actually find this a pretty funny quote. Talking without actually saying anything.

    When you get down to the last guy in and out, it doesn't really matter. I think it's just something to talk about until the game starts. The level of complaints about Dusty / Click is a bit overboard in my opinion.

    Agreed on Odo - the only situation I see him being used in would be down 8-0 in the 3rd inning and trying to eat some innings and save the bullpen.

    Feeling like the narrative on the series has changed. We went from a sweep despite everyone being healthy in south side to the Astros losing despite Rodin being out and Lynn getting crushed in both the postseason and against HOU.

    I’m feeling 2017 Red Sox here, maybe 2020 A’s. Everyone thinks the offense is merely “OK”. We swept these clowns in our town and we’ll do it again.

    Odo has quietly been one of the best pitchers on the team this past month. I don't understand at all having Javier over him given how poorly Javier has been pitching.

    if I’d known this I would have bought tickets just to try to yell “**** you” to his face .

    in fact , I’d probably try to start a mob . No violence, but lots of jeering would be nice

    IF it is an elimination game, we still put our top relievers in there and pray for a miracle.

    Tickets were surprisingly cheap for these two games. Would have gone to at least one but alas I will remain home with the little one.
