    Most closers don't pitch well in non-save situations...but dude needed to throw more strikes.

    Damn that was satisfying. **** Fiers. That rat was too scared and shitty to even face us. Lmao


    Back to the ALCS.

    Considering the regular season we had and the loss of verlander.... This is amazing.

    They're young, so they don't cost anything. Chapman and Murphy are cornerstone players. They've got castoffs and reclamation projects, and just a bunch of good/not great players.

    But now I want to hate them, though I'd take a whole bunch of their guys on the Stros.

    I keep going back on forth on who to face. But at the moment, I have to trust these bats hitting so well this week.

    Astros haven't seen either pitching staff in a year, so its really hard to know if they can hit Tampa this year or give Cole some rough outings like they have former Astros pitchers.

    No matter what though, them playing a Game 5 helps us. because ideally it may be forced them to use Snell or Cole at least in relief so they get pushed back to like Game 3/4 for the ALCS.

    God, I would kill for them to bring Chirinos back next year to split duty with Machete (I wanted it this year). I know they probably can't afford it, but still...

    "Clear favorites" - funny - I was using the term clear advantage in reference to the Balco Bombers, myself. I see this and I know they just accidentally said it, and people have forgotten all about the clear.

    Greinke and the offense were the heroes today. Needed those innings. Needed those runs.
