    I would be enticed to save Verlander until tomorrow.

    Imagine we lose and Arizona clinches but we have a huge question mark at starting pitcher tomorrow in a must win situation.

    I disagree. If you win tonight you’re in the playoffs. Seize the day and don’t play scared

    This is just an absolutely asinine thing to be doing, 7 games in a row for MM because “personal catcher” is a thing. I hope to hell he goes 2-4 and has no PBs….

    Come with that same energy if we, heaven forbid, lose this game and are forced to somehow piece together 9 innings tomorrow.

    I noticed in the Toronto game, their catcher Kirk had his first PB of the season.

    Of course I don’t want to lose the game. That’s why you give yourself the best chance to win it…to avoid having it all come down to 1 game. The best way to do that is pitch Verlander tonite.

    He's a very good receiver, but can't throw for ****. Gotta take the good with the bad sometimes.

    Agree, but in Maldy's case he has alot of pb and can't throw for ****. Whatever bad with the bad, he needs a slammy tonight.

    Like I said, I find superstition or jinxes, and stuff nonsense. My prediction isn't going to change the way guys play. If it did, I could make big money hoaxing the rivals every night, and only fools would pay me for it. If the Astros win, then great, and if they don't, you can't blame anyone but the coach and team.

    Go Stros!
