    Against Seattle, I would go Lance in Game 2. Against Toronto, I would go Javier in Game 2, because the Jays are almost all righties, which works in favor of Javier's splits. Framber is almost 100% getting Game 2, but I agree, he should pitch on the road because he tends to do better away from MMP.

    I don’t think it’s happening, but I would feel best with Javier on the mound for game 2.

    What was the Astro's record against the Mariners this season? They are no push over. It will be a tough series.

    Not a single team in the playoffs is a pushover

    Boy we often catch the hot team, time for us to cool them off and catch fire ourselves

    Our pitching needs to be lights out. Gilbert /Castillo for 4 games will be difficult.

    Homefield Advantage. 5 game series.

    it's 0-0 and first to 3 wins to advance. Nothing else counts or matters.

    Verlander starts Game 1.

    The next announcement I want to see is the petition to have Brown replace X for post season eligibility being approved by Manfred. I want to see how AUTOMATIC it really is.

    Are you surprised? The other 2 matches are from either NY or LA, no way those will be early games. I'm more surprised not all the Astros' games are at 12pm.

    2:30 Central starts are the best we could have hoped for the first couple of games.

    Not sure what yall are mad about?

    People have jobs. I am fortunate to be able to watch it at work but I’m sure there’s plenty of people who aren’t.

    I’d rather then be 12pm starts cause I’ll get to see the whole game. Not miss an inning or two driving home. Listening is cool and all, but I’d rather watch it.

    WHAT? You can't take the MONTH off on PAID LEAVE to watch the Astros? You must be poor. We don't cater to poor.
