    Probably until tomorrow during the 1st or 2nd inning. Hopefully not

    He only does that with men on base.

    You’ve gotta love how the top of the order gives the opposing pitcher quick, easy inning after quick, easy inning.

    Through Maldy in and you've got 4 for 54. I mean you could put a blindfold on and hit one out of 13

    nah if it’s still 9-3 in the 7th I’d say he can just c*m and call it a night . Gotta start jerking early tomorrow . Maybe even pre-game to get us some 1st inning runs

    Yeah, Castro should definitely get the start. Maldonado’s entire value is in handling the pitching staff, which he has done a horrible job of doing. You can’t tell me Castro could call a worse game.

    Castro will work well with Grienke , who can call his own game.

    Isn’t it sad that the rest of the pitching staff has made Brooks Raley look like a good option?

    you're asking the offense to match a historic offense in the post season

    something you can't do. Rays couldn't even ****ing do it.

    Excellent point. I’m tired of basically throwing out a pitcher in our lineup every day. We need a threat 1-9. Also, it’s too bad Altuve cannot DH. He is a defensive liability for some reason in the playoffs.

    This team is an absolute beast from the 4th inning on. Unstoppable!

    nah bro , im more of a cryo-healing type dude .. hence the snow ;)

    did you know that if you ice your balls for 10 minutes its the equivalent of getting a vasectomy for 24-48 hrs?




    jk ... i just made that up

    but definitely partial to the ice-baths and cold-water dips .

    also high as balls right now

    At this rate it would be the best post-season offense of all time...coming from a team that showed none of this during the regular season.

    EDIT: correction, yeah they had a good offense during the season but just comparing it to this right now.
