All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PBP, that can be found from other sources if you need it. All games are broadcast on AT&T Sports SW unless otherwise noted. 9-18 John Means (L) vs. Justin Verlander (R) 7:10 9-19 Kyle Gibson (R) vs. Hunter Brown (R) 7:10 9-20 Kyle Bradish (R) vs. Cristian Javier (R) 1;10
Guessing the lineup Altuve Pena Bregman Alvarez Tucker Abreu Chas Dubon Maldy This isn't a bad offensive lineup. Dubon has been incredibly hot lately and even more so against LHPs. I'd still prefer Meyers in there for defense with JV on the mound, and Meyers hits LHPs pretty good. I'd have DIaz catching the 2nd and 3rd games, so this is the game Maldy should be catching this series. I might play Diaz at 1B over Abreu if I had the choice.
If we packed the house tonight with playoff atmosphere, I think we will because Space City Monday, we will win. It is unfathomable that Seattle and Texas didn't win 1 game out of the 6 games. It wasn't too long ago that the Yankees smoked us and Seattle broom us. The stars are align for the Astros for us to take it.
Considering the pitching matchup in game 3, we better be get both games to start this series if we want to win the series.
I'm still pissed we crapped the bed and only went 2-4 against the two worst teams in the whole damn league in the home stretch of a tight race. Just effing inexcusable, we should have a 4 game lead going into this series instead of clenched buttcheeks. Eff this s***
Guessed the players Dusty would pick right. Dusty wisely didn't have Pena batting second, but he just couldn't have Tucker in the Top 4 batters. What is so wrong about having 4 great hitters bat back to back? Dusty has done it a lot this year, but seems to get itchy fingers anytime something starts to work in the lineup that doesn't meet his preconceived ideas. I will laugh and curse if Alvarez gets intentionally walked today.
