Castillo will be tough but confidence has to be high for the offense now.
Hopefully Framber fairs better than JV.

So is Castillo as scary as they keep hyping him up to be?

Look for a bounce back game from Altuve. Also, I believe Framber will give us a much better performance in game 2 compared to JV in game 1.

Yeah, we definitely need Altuve to bounce back to his normal postseason self. We also really need to see Mancini start to do something. I know he lined out again, but we have to get more from that spot in the order. I'm sure they won't do it, but I'd like to see Hensley get a start over Mancini. Maybe the same lineup as yesterday but with Hensley DHing.
Plus, Vazquez has proven since we got him that he's as good at Maldonado defensively and hits better. He needs to get a start.

And Pena can continue being a good #2 hitter. If those two happen, the Astros are in good shape for the playoffs.

And I know the postseason is not the time to start doing things drastically different from what got you here, but I just feel like Hensley puts together such good ABs. And it isn't a fluke. Here are his numbers the last couple seasons: 2021 AAA: .293/.369/.439 2022 AAA: .298/.420/.478 2022 MLB: .345/.441/.586 Obviously nobody should expect him to be the next Altuve, but the OBP and patient approach are legit.

I think today will provide another tense game. It would not surprise me that it is a low scoring game that will depend on the bullpen to decide.

The way I keep hearing people talk about Luis Castillo you'd think he already had a place in Cooperstown....
His numbers look good, but it's not like he's peak deGrom. He looks like a healthier McCullers.
Hopefully we can get to him and go into Seattle with a healthy 2-0 lead. I feel like Framber is due for a masterful game.

Correct on Luis Castillo. It was a great get for Seattle but as you said, he isn't at a deGrom level. - Career ERA: 3.59
- ERA before coming over to SEA was better: 2.86 w/ CIN & 3.17 w/ SEA
- 2021 ERA: 3.98
