    Why is the 2nd seed obtainable but not the 1st?

    We're one loss out of the number one seed.

    The Astros Starters coming back will be a Huge Upgrade.

    Cristian Javier, Luis Garcia, Spencer Arrighetti, JP France all returning and pitching in rehab innings in the Minors.

    Since when are Postseason positions called "seeds"?

    He has great wrists and bat speed. When he makes contact he is a star type player.

    Glenn Davis had that wrist power. In his prime, he never seemed to swing hard. Just that flick of the wrist and it was gone.

    He's a freak athlete. I'm not sure it matters how much he Ks as long as he brings other stuff to that table.

    Real talk, because I haven't watched him much: how do you project him as a 2B (best case) or LF (worst case) defensively?

    Home field advantage means nothing to this team. I think we play better on the road to be honest. 2 seed or bust!

    They’re 33-19 at home and 25-23 away, so I’d rather they play at home.

    This season appears to be an outlier.
    Different shade of green on the batters' eye, or so many new folks on the roster that they don't buy into that machigas.

    Daikin has been a postseason menace.

    Tucker's suckage is gone so maybe that helps.
