As good as Skubal is, the Astros hit lefties really well. Pena and McCormick are historically on another level against lefties. Same for Meyers. If McCormick really is healthy, I’d like to see Dubon at 1B with McCormick in LF. 2B Altuve 3B Bregman DH Alvarez RF Tucker C Diaz SS Pena LF McCormick CF Meyers 1B Dubon
They just showed splits by count on MLB network. Hitters are batting .374 in 0-0, 1-0 and 0-1 counts against Skubal. Just FYI before you start complaining about our approach for the millionth time. You do not want to get into deep counts with this guy.
Baltimore and KC would not get more viewers than our series. We are the #6 media market and Detroit is 14. Baltimore is 29 and KC is 34. I understand not getting the night game but there is no way we should playing the nooner.
My bigger issue is that there’s no reason why this scheduled shouldn’t be 5:00pm 5:30pm 8:00pm 8:30pm or something along those lines
I went back and looked at last year's WC schedule- nobody played before 4PM so not sure wtf is with this crap.
Rangers/Rays WC games started at 2pm CST last year. It's a Texas thing to have us in the earliest slot.
Haven’t been to a Division Series years, spoiled by this insane ALCS run by the Astros. But this year, we went to spring training again for the first time since 2017. Bringing the magic back to MMP today. The last Framber start I went to was the clincher vs PHI in 2022, the best sporting event I have ever been to. No team has brought more joy to this town. No team has put up more post season magic. No team has authored more clutch performances. Let’s Go Astros!
So, people who usually know this stuff (other boards versions of Nook) have said last night and this morning Yordan is going to be in the starting 9 today, so, as we wait there is that...
