[Unofficial 2017 World Series] Houston Astros vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

Devo has been scared of the strike zone for quite some time.

I don't know if hitters are picking up the changeup better, or if he's tipping his pitches, or they're giving him the knuckle-ball treatment... but you can see him being afraid to challenge guys, regardless of situation (and for good reason... his stuff, in the zone, is as hittable as anybody's).

The changeup, that breaks late out of the zone, is as deceptive a pitch as anything... but his mechanics are too out of whack for him to execute it consistently anymore.

 

That at-bat scared the hell out of me. He kept fighting off pitches. Would have been so crushing had he launched one there. Instead he sat his ass down and our boys got the momentum back home. So damn pumped for the game!!

 

It’s the same thing for a lot of our pitchers.

Devo is absolutely scared of throwing in the strike zone and that’s why he looks bad. I wasn’t given any confidence after yesterday. Devo shouldn’t be closing it out. But he did a great job in game 1.

Devo has to vary his change-up. He should be in anywhere from the 6th-7th.

Giles should be a one inning guy as closer.

Peacock needs to use his curveball more.

Honestly Gregerson has looked pretty decent in the postseason thus far.

Harris looked like he regained some form in game 2.

Musgrove looked good in game 2. No complaints there.

 

Keep dismissing the "snowflakes", things will never change. Until people like you understand that, there will never be progress.

 

In summary our bullpen is pretty shaky. just close your eyes and hope you catch them on the right day

 

Devo gave up a lot of hard hit balls last night too

 

One constant this postseason has been our pitching at home. I'm very confident in Morton.

 

I remember a hard line drive that easily shoulda been a hit if it didnt line out exactly to where altuve was.

Or maybe that was giles in the 9th. My timeline is a lil out of sorts. So much adrenaline that game haha

 

I believe it was Justin Turner who hit that liner to Bergman. It was a very well hit ball.

 

Game 3 Lineup (In case it hasn't been posted yet):

George Springer CF
Alex Bregman 3B
Jose MVP Altuve 2B
Carlos Correa SS
Yuli Gurriel 1B
Josh Reddick RF
Evan Gattis DH
MarWIN Gonzalez LF
Brian McWheels C

Lance McCuller Jr SP

 

I like that line-up a lot.

I have a feeling Reddick will show up.

 

i think it was the one Bregman caught.

man im nervous about tonight. such a big game. i would love to be up 2-1 facing alex wood tomorrow night.

 

Shrine is BACK !!

 

Good to have a DH again. I except some gatti town fatty style to make @ftwrocketsftw shake in his grave

 

Wonder if the Astros will try to pull off some kind of stunt after what the Dodgers did in game 2. I hope not, but we'll see.

 

Man, I've never been as proud of the Houston fans as I am now. They have come, out in full force this post season.

 

Quick question...is A-Rod only there to talk about "Why the Astros won't win."

Also....THEY LITERALLY JUST ASKED WHERE GREGERSON IS BEACUSE HE'S "NASTY." ......what?

 

LETS ****ING GO STROS!

 

Hope they hit Yu early and often. Like to see a Springer dinger.
