    Most teams lose when down by 2 runs late.

    Honestly - this is a good test for the Stros. Let them prove this lineup can comeback from a 2 run deficit later in a game. That also takes focus - good prep for post season. Show that grit.

    Verlander, Valdez, McCullers, C.Javier should be our SP in the playoffs. Urquidy (3.90+ ERA) and L.Garcia (4.00 ERA) should be pitching Yordan in the Home Run Contest, both can literally change the game like tonight.

    Only the Astros could get 6 hits in the first inning and then get no hit the rest of the way.

    Yeah these are the games I remember when they're up 3 to 2 in the world series and then proceed to lose the world series.

    Whelp. The start of this one certainly gave a different tone on how this series was going to go....

    I still think Martinez better than W. Smith for playoffs....even if he's a lhp.

    Does Puk feature a rising fastball?

    Nolan could be the "correct" answer but Unit being so far behind makes no sense

    Tucker and Yordan might ask for a day off

    At least the options were mostly pitchers. They effect games more than position players when they play

    Hunter Brown as a 4th Starter over the Three Amigos in Cristian Javier, Luis Garcia, Jose Urquidy

    I think these Three are Bullpen Pitchers, their Velocity and Control Should be 4th Starters on Most Teams. On the Astros they should Long Relievers ir Cleanup Long Relievers

    In the Postseason Batters would Foul off their Pitches and raise their Pitch Count.

    Hunter Brown has more of a Swing and Miss, Extremely High Velocity 98 mph Fastball, 95 mph Slider, 88 mph Curveball

    Josh Beckett of the Marlins when he Dominated in the Postseason when he was Young and Dominated on the Red Sox
