[Official] ALCS Astros vs. Red Sox

Time is going to move extremely slow till game time.

Can’t wait to see the crowd tonight!

 

Very little numbers of our assigned starters against/with these umpires... I don't think Framber, Luis, and Urquidy even had these umps before. Greinke on the other hand...

 

If Greinke could get the Dodgers strike zone last night he would be un-hittable. Good luck with that!

 

I want Greinke when Miller is Umpiring. Miller gives the black. Greinke usually commands the black. Framber, Luis and Urquidy usually hit or miss badly. I'd take Greinke twice through the order on a short leash with Odorizzi or Javier working once through the order, also on a short leash. Everybody's on a short leash.

The only players below an 800 OPS are the two that fought for the batting title (one winning) and our catcher. That seems kind of good

 

Damn, needed him to get past ALDS and now we might not have him for the WS. Great.

 

Lfg!

 

Game #1 is tonight and of course I'll be at the Knicks game

 

Wolf was the ump in G7 of the '19 WS, I believe. Haven't ever gone back and watched a replay, but he was the one that missed a critical call on the 7th in the Soto at bat.

 

I wonder if I can make myself sleep till opening pitch?

 

And it wasn’t like we made him pitch on short rest either, wtf.

 

With McCullers out it’s bye bye Astros

 

Just got back from the doctor with a diagnosis of a strained right shoulder, but the rest of my body is so ready @rico

Go Astros!

 

We're rooting for you! Get that nap!

 

He was on normal rest as you said... so can't blame Dusty or the front office. Injuries happen during the season grind. This one was just unfortuante timing.

 

Seriously? Urquidy has never had a bad playoff start. Luis getting extra rest helps and is pitching at home. Framber has shown flashes of prime Keuchel this year. Odorizzi had a good September. They just need to pitch to expectations... we are not asking them to turn in career performances especially with this offense.
