It would also be cool to beat both the Yankees and Red Sox in a single postseason on the way to a World Series run It almost makes me wish the Cardinals had made it (but not quite) so they could potentially beat the top three teams in WS wins all in the same postseason

Here's a hot take: Start McCullers instead of Peacock

Yeah...that's the team's critical problem. We have a fantastic 1-2, but...what the gently caress do you do for the other three games? I'd say have a Peacock/Morton combo for our #3 and McHugh for one game...but it's not an easy decision to make.

Let's see if Hinch wises up and realizes it's better to have no lefty out of the pen than Liriano Hell put Sipp on the roster

Guys - we're hosed. No one listened to Paul Wall and some rappers made a song about the 'Stros - wrap it up, this poo poo is done. https://www.facebook.com/975Houston/videos/1504842112942472/?hc_ref=ARS03nQd3zpX-9-wUAtU4fRf7PAKXSudV1NnTNDuM3iqpqRq6vrelP7BC0WnZUvMENI

Interesting stuff. Why add McHugh to the 25-man roster if you’re not going to start him?

I'm fine with that, he's an upgrade over the existing bullpen and McCullers.

Looks like we're sticking with the Keuchel-Verlander 1-2 punch for the WS. Can't help but feel optimistic about at least one of those games.

Very nice we were able to clinch without using Keuchel. I feel like we have the old Lance back finally.

So we're looking at Keuchel, Verlander, McCullers, Morton? Honestly feel pretty OK about that heading in.

After a night to sleep on it (and sobering up) I can't get over how ballsy Bregman's throw was Ballsy as gently caress. That could have gone wrong in so many ways. He may not be hitting but the kid has confidence and nothing will rattle it. His glove has been a difference maker for the Astros all postseason There's seriously no weak link on the Astros defensively. It's pretty great

Well if we don't that means both Keuchel and Verlander lost, so yeah pretty much Against the Yankees I felt like the Astros had the advantage in lineup, top of the rotation, and fielding vs the Yankees with the pen. Against the Dodgers, the Astros have fielding and...narrative?

The Astros have a better lineup than the Dodgers. I still have low faith in this series, but hey, stranger things have happened.

I'm really excited about this guys. My marriage is probably about to be over, a bombshell my wife dropped on me last week from nowhere, and right now this playoff run is really holding me up. Even if we lose, I'm just happy we're here. I know that's a bit much to be sharing on our dead comedy forum, but following along and posting with my goon Astro buddies is really going to help. You're all great and our team is cool and good.

You might wanna exchange notes with No Butt Stuff, he's going through the same thing right now and seems to have his head on straight about it (after some obviously initial bewilderment). Looking forward to this series, I can't muster up the hate I should be able to for the Dodgers since they spend so much money. But I'm solidly cheering for the Astros.
