    What makes you think we will see Fiers?

    Bassitt
    Luzardo
    Manaea
    Montas
    Minor

    They pitched Fiers because the White Sox murder lefties.

    Unless there is some wacko bunch of SP injuries the only way you see Rat Fiers is if they’re blowing us out or there is a 16 year old female catcher behind the plate for OAK. In all seriousness maybe he’s left off the DS roster.....

    Yeah, he honestly isn't in their top 3 for pitching... so sadly he may not be out there. I'd like for us to score about 15 runs off him though.

    When playing video games you naturally assume a laid back posture on your couch. You tend to be prone to careless mistakes in this relaxed state, but it is chill.

    Leaning forward is the universal gaming posture when you need to focus. Also the position from which controllers get thrown.

    He might not be in their Top 3...but it isn't like they have three starters that are significantly better than him. Playing matchups and going to pen early was not necessarily wrong.

    How is buster defending himself? There’s like 5-6 posts back and forth on this




    Then again Espn also employs a guy that was happy with head hunting and running a 30 for 30 for two of the biggest cheaters of all time

    Is he referring to systematic cheating within the Astros, or just systematic within baseball?

    If it's the latter, then there you go you ****ing hypocrite b****.

    Just listened to the preview - it's very compelling.

    Ok so I just flipped on the tube to MLB Tonight and they were discussing something the Astros said about the upcoming match up with the As and how we need to not give them BB material and we haven’t done anything yet by winning two games against the Twins.

    What was said?

    Probably talking about what Correa said after the Twins win.

    Nothing to see here.

    BTW, why all this time off? Why four days? We could have had a best of 5 with all this extra time.

    I know. I hate it. Im guessing they want both ALDS and NLDS to line up together because of the whole "bubble" protocol.

    Accounting for rain delays... covid delays.... and to ensure everybody gets to the next destination safely within protocol.

    I don't mind the extra days off. Gives them more time to dissect the Oakland pitchers/hitters tendencies. Figure out exactly what made them so abysmal against them this year. Doesn't interfere with the weekend of football either.
