Urquidy is out of the equation pretty much. Brown, Neris, Stanek, Abreu, Montero, Pressly all very much available. Smith in a lefty situation to get the last out of an inning is probably his only shot to see action. Garcia long relief (Jesus pray we don't see him at all because you know what that means happened).
If they are never going to use him, why have him on the roster all playoffs? The Astros have been begging for DH production/3rd catcher to allow Christian to hit DH which would have been a whole lot more useful than just having him back there as ultimate insurance.
What an unbelievable historic win. The Astros were punched in the mouth last night and they responded with a right hook even harder. Just incredible. Verlander has the chance tomorrow to change his legacy. Please for the love of everything Justin, please throw a good game.
I still can’t believe Yuli has been the most consistent hitter over the whole post season for the Astros. He hasn’t struck out the entire post season.
different vibes heading into game 5 vs game 1 and the long layoff. an early lead by the astros next game will do a lot. hoping for the best but it's like a new series each game
This game tomorrow is huge. I want this over in six I genuinely do not think we can throw Lance out there in a game 7.
On the postgame he was asked and Dusty said he was thinking about Javier in game 7 and he might be able to go 3 innings on short rest.
I've been saying this for years now. But I really do have a feeling that Verlander is going to exorcise his demons tomorrow and get that first W.S. win. Oh and Mattress Mack is getting a grill.
