How will the media/announcers approach this series when neither team has the imaginary, "non-cheater" high-road? I'm hoping they ignore it...
I think the day off helps the Astros. Better teams win over the long haul and the Astros are the more playoff-tested, experienced team. The White...
I vote for Greinke for our 2021 Charlie Morton
Have to put Graveman into 2017 Ken Giles shutdown mode
I think having the big 3 sign these mammoth extensions is the best path for these picks to have max value (top 5 lottery). The gamble has always...
Houston's own draft picks and 2023+ Brooklyn picks should be off the table unless for an established superstar. We just went through the hand...
Definitely would not this year, but what about next offseason? Wall will be expiring The Rockets will have another lottery pick talent (or two)...
I'm going to pivot and suggest the Astros make a move for Max Scherzer. The Nats are going nowhere this year and Scherzer is in the last year of...
Oakland: 16-5 vs. teams .400 or below. 14-22 vs. teams above .400. Games remaining against below .400 teams: 22 (19 vs. the Rangers and 3 vs....
What have we learned from the recent Heat/Warrior/Laker superteams? They don't last long (2-3 years) before they break up (Heat/Warriors) or...

Anyone else really hoping that the Astros have a chance to be the first team with a losing record in MLB history to win the World Series? This...
Baseball-reference is doing their own simulation with OOTP 21: https://www.baseball-reference.com/sim/leagues/MLB/2020.shtml
If baseball is serious about stripping titles, then the precedent should be set with the 1919 Reds title and actual guidelines set on what...
Agree with this 100%, the blueprint for success is unchanged from the past three years. Need a pitcher or two to go supernova in the playoffs....
I did a double take on this, but its true. The Astros are tied with 3 teams at 3 Yankee eliminations (Dodgers, Cardinals, Tigers are the others)...
I agree the Astros should vacate the title...as soon as they replay the 1998 playoffs without Kevin Brown (named in the Mitchell report)
Doubtful. If anything, the Astros are going to be the most heavily scrutinized team going forward and should be the "cleanest" team in the league....
Springer, Altuve, Bregman due in the 9th. That is all.
