    Not the first time we have had trouble with Nola. Thankfully it wasn’t in the World Series.

    They say hitting a baseball is simple.

    See the ball - Hit the ball.

    I fail both halves.

    Another game with Maldy catching, another loss. The sample size is getting larger. All 12 losses have been with him catching. We are undefeated when he doesn't catch…

    We're down 4 starters and are fine playing without a catcher that hits.

    The fact we've managed to win games with this lineup recently is surprising.

    To be fair to Dusty, I don’t think he has anything to do with pitching decisions. He’s said as much.

    Agree with this. The Astro formula is clear, ignore the regular season, keep players healthy, experiment with lineups for optimal playoff run. With the extra playoff spot, this approach makes even more sense.

    I think Dusty is good in regards to keeping positions players well rested. I don't think he experiments much.

    The lineup I've been begging for.

    Well if the playoffs started today we wouldn't be in it.

    So there is that.

    Was anyone slightly pissed that Yordan didn’t make MLB’s Top 10 Hitters power rankings? He literally won us 3 games in a row at the Braves. Not good enough apparently.
