    You'd rather average 2.5 runs a game in the playoffs?

    Meyers McCormick benched in favor of Siri last year until he was sent down by Click? He hated using Lee or Castro. Tucker and Bregman seemed to get a pass, tucker on talent and Bregman by speaking Spanish. Odo was a cancer because...

    Maybe just coincidences, maybe subtle R.

    You finally wrote what I was assuming you meant.

    Players aren't being benched after a good game as a pattern.

    Many managers rest players in day games after night games.

    What inferior players did he continue to play over superior players? Since Brantley has been hurt, Chas, Jake, Dubon and Siri (for a while) have been relatively equal offensively. The outlier is Chas against left handers.

    The Astros have the following white position players

    Bregman - plays most every game
    Tucker- plays most every game
    Chas
    Jake - has started 29 of 36 games he has been up...played in 31
    Castro/Lee

    No. I wouldn’t. We’ve had better offenses than that lineup you posted and still got shut down. Also, you cant ignore defense.

    Yeah..I read it and didn't believe it as I wasn't watching at the time. Upon watching, there was nothing questionable. The called pitches were emphatically called and they were all correct calls

    Refusing to play Chas against left handers even though he is raking lefties....

    I’m sure the baseball world will use this as proof of Astros cheating

    It will be interesting to see. Clearly the most egregious miss of the day

    You'd make a better Ump. I'd make similar mistake which is why I don't expect to make a good living as an Ump.

    What in that at bat would have caused you to not know how many strikes there were?

    Primarily last season when he fought Click to get Meyers into the line-up. Click eventually has to send Siri down to AAA to get Meyers any significant playing time.

    Typical ESPN headline

    Houston Astros' Yordan Alvarez gets away with four-strike at-bat against Red Sox

    How did he "get away" with it?

    Probably not because 4 is close enough to 3.
