I don't suppose it'd stop you from being an rear end in a top hat if I suggested you should feel happy that the team has played this well and has a real chance to win tomorrow night, would it?

I'm positively livid that if the Dodgers win tomorrow, the most remembered moment in the Astros second franchise WS appearance will be Yuli loving Gurriel making slant-eyes like he's a loving kindergartener.

Other than that home run and being an arm threat, he's been a non-factor.

It's gonna be a story of this World Series, but yeah I think "The Chaos Series" has kind of overtaken it. Unless Darvish really does throw a 7+ inning gem to drive the narrative or maybe if Yuli does something bigly good or bad in Game 7 I think this whole "Yu forgave him so it's over" narrative will take. Which actually really bugs me, not for the Astros/Series narrative thing but just because I think Yuli just got away with it with nothing but a week off after Spring Training and a few boos.

https://twitter.com/don_chisum/status/925740112188547072 So for real, are we going to give Roberts some credit for managing Hill? Verlander gave up most (all?) of his runs this series on the third time through the order. I’m not knocking Hinch for this, obviously his bullpen options are different. But it seems at a minimum we ought to acknowledge that what Dave has done has been effective.

You aren't going to feel the ramifications on that in Games 2 and 6 respectively. You're going to feel it in 3, 4, 5 and, well, 7.

It doesn’t somehow negate his other baffling moves.

bawfuls posted:That's my point though, Roberts is sticking to his process even when the microscope is on him. And there haven't really been any other baffling moves aside from the Keekay bunt. Pitching Morrow so frequently is definitely a baffling decision. The drawback to having an analytical approach is that you’re applying a forecasted model of how you think you should manage a players/games, but as my graduate research advisor once told me, no model is perfect, and that’s especially true when it comes to sports. The other part of it is that if you stick too much to a plan based on analytics/etc. then you might be too quick to make changes when, in a particular game, the pitcher might be having a significant outlier of a performance to what might be expected. Hill was dealing and looking good; his overall IP for the year is quite a bit less than many other starting pitchers, which would seem to indicate he’s probably overall less worn down than most others and fresher for the series. So instead of seeing whether Hill could give another inning or two, Roberts goes to his bullpen and used Maeda and Morrow who both have pitched regularly this series and only have had one day of rest. Did it work out? Sure, but now you’re using that as justification for pulling Hill. He could have left Hill in, gotten two more scoreless innings, and you’d be having a different line of justification for how it helps to rest the bullpen for Game 7. Basically, you can’t post about justifying/defending Roberts’ decision making by only looking through one prism and not also considering the other alternatives. If Morrow goes out and gives up the game winning tonight because he was ever-so-additionally-tired due to last night, will you criticize Roberts for his use of him last night? That’s what I’m getting at.
