    Ronel only needed one extra pitch after the terrible check-swing call.

    Probably not. Remember the JP France game last year against Boston?

    Even if he isn’t tipping… Cora has the ability to also sniff out sequences based on previous games or previous tendencies. There’s a reason why he’s been able to be the co-architect of two of the best schemes to game the pitchers.

    He does usually settle down. He just doesn't care enough to compete until our winning chances are 15% or so.

    And there's no guarantee Ronel gets it together this game. Could be more runs allowed. He just doesn't have impressive stuff to me.

    Exactly. Our opponents are preparing for the game, and we never do that any more.

    Washing cars is better than begging for money from strangers. Am I right?

    Weird take…

    Even so, would you rather prepare well without a backup plan once the team adjusts (Kubiak script)….

    Or be the team that has the ability to adjust consistently?

    The Astros have shown the ability to make comebacks and get to starting pitchers after multiple trips through the lineup quite a few times this year. Despite having a AAAA lineup as well.
