I have believed in Verlander for years. Tonight will be his night. Put a ! on your storied career, sir. Go Stros! You may be right but Verlander and the hitters have to Dusty proof the game and we will come home ahead 3-2. Good chance we close that out even with Dusty.

I don’t know guys. At this point I think Javier is the MVP. If the Astros win this WS I think we will look back and recognize that the momentum turned with Javier’s start last night. The Astros were down coming into the game. The Phillies were loose and on a roll. The Philadelphia crowd was pumped and energizing their team. Javier’s start changed all that. It was not just that he beat the Phils…., it was how he did it. He totally dominated their batters and, in so doing, stifled the crowd and lifted his teammates up.

If it was a 4-game series, I could see Javier being the MVP. But with this series going 6 games or more, it has to be someone who played more than 6 innings, imo. (Maybe a reliever that pitched in 5-6 games in pressure situations, or something.)

Ummmmmm, if someone gave you 6 front row 50 yard line seats to tonight's Eagles versus Texans game, would you go........ *If the condition was you could not watch any of the Astros game on your phone or TV or anything else while the game is being playing.
Also you can't resell them or give them away. You have to go and watch the whole football game.
No BS, I doubt many people here would take the tickets. I wouldn't, would any of you?

It's gonna be Jose Altuve. He's hitting .273 with error free defense. Its solid work. But with no walks and no power or RBI, he'll have to really go on a tear these last 2-3 games. That would be cool though.

2022 Postseason numbers: Hensley- PA 5, H 1, HBP 1, OBP .400, P/PA 5.80 Diaz - PA 23, H 1, HBP 1, OBP .087, P/PA 3.87 Mancini- PA 20, H 0, HBP 1, BB 1, OBP .100, P/PA 3.95 Regardless of these numbers, I will be shocked if either Diaz or Mancini is not DHing or in LF with Yordan DHing. I agree. I've come to terms with it even though I don't understand it. Even though I have no reason to, I have more faith in Mancini than Diaz. Maybe just because Mancini has a track record of being a good hitter even if he hasn't with us. I think it’s because Mancini has more starter pedigree. At least that’s my thinking.

I feel like their hitters will come out very aggressive today. I agree. JV has to pitch to make them fish.

In JV's defense last game. He didn't give up a HR and he only gave up one hit per batter........dotdotdot

I don't know if it's official yet or not, but this is what's going around social media for the lineup. Could always change before game time anyways...
Altuve Pena Yordan Bregman Tucker Gurriel Diaz Chas Maldonado
Dusty is going to do whatever it takes for Diaz to get a hit, even if it means sacrificing the WS. Oh, and f*ck Vazquez because calling a no-hitter and reaching base twice wasn't good enough.

That's what's out there so far! 0-8 with 4Ks this series hasn't been enough proof. Hitting .045 with a .178 OPS through 8 games while striking out more than 25% of the time hasn't been enough proof.

I haven't seen a Julia Morales or Brian McTaggart post lineups on Twitter yet so I am skeptical. Holding out hope that Diaz is not in the lineup. I know Maldy will be catching but I am hoping Diaz is not in the DH spot.

I'm wondering if his age is starting to show. He had some rocky postseasons his first couple postseasons with Detroit, but he has mostly been solid to good in all the rest until this year (counting all the rounds). But this year with even struggling in the ALDS, he has the worst postseason ERA of his career at 7.20. You have to wonder if some of it is just some fatigue or dead arm setting in. He kicked their asses the first three innings, and then immediately lost it. To me, if they can get a few good innings out of him, they need to be on high alert as soon as he starts allowing some traffic. I'm not sure why Justin's legs got tired after the 3rd inning, but he could learn a thing or two from Javier about keeping his heart rate down This all day.

Enough with the leaving starters in until the game has been lost because the starter is one of the guys. As soon as JV shows signs of getting into trouble Dusty needs to have someone up in the bullpen. If he can’t pitch his way out of trouble immediately, yank him. #pipedream #Dustyfactor
