I bet Yordan doesn't get many heaters today. I would be sitting slider on Kirby all day. He is set up well for a hanger today if he doesn't bury it. Also another interesting note on Kirby. His stuff plays as a lesser version of Castillo. Has some 2 seam run that sits around 93-96mph. Interesting dynamic in the series in my opinion. Usually, you want to stack pitchers in a series according to the flow of their stuff. Location will be huge for Kirby today.
Hopefully he doesn't chase and draws a walk and hope Bregman(or anyone)makes them pay like last game.
If McCullers deals today and we get lead early, I see us throwing all our hammers at these guys to close them out. Could easily see Javier getting the rock in the 6th if we are in the lead.
21 years seattle has been waiting for a playoff game. Gonna be tough to get a sweep. Score early and shut that crowd up the lineup is going to continue to shift bw mancini/diaz and chaz/meyers until someone separates themselves from the other. wonder when vazquez is going to get a start though. seems hes more valuable for that later inning option Lets go stros!
He needs to not start Meyers anymore and stop bringing him and his candy arm in as a defensive replacement. should be McCormick in CF every game.
Don’t trust Lance on the road enough. Figure the Astros score a few runs by the 4th. Hopefully that can add to that in the later innings. Key is to get the crowd out of it early.
