Interesting.... If the Rays make it to the WC game then most likely they'll have Morton going for that.
We very well could face the Rays in the ALDS with Morton going game #3 at best

If there’s one guy I don’t mind losing a no-no it’s Greinke. He takes it all in stride.

Why didn’t Jake catch that ball anyway? I thought he was God’s gift to pitchers.

Greinke finished the regular season having gone 8-1 for us. His era was a bit high but then he had to adjust to the amount of his bench time given the amount of offense the Astros were producing in his starts. |

Today's game will be interesting.....if Miley has a good game, is he the #4 going into the playoffs....if he has a bad game, is he just long inning relief pitcher.... or is he on the chopping block for each playoff series, meaning: depending on matchups of other team's hitters, he may or may not make the plaoyoff roster for that given srrirs?

It just sucks....it would have been great if Jake would have caught the ball to preserve the NH.... with elite jump and read on the ball would have given Corch a chance to validate Jake's spot on the team... Jake is a good guy and an upper tier defensive OF, but this has to be his last year on the Astros ..it is time to pass the torch to the younger, faster, cheaper, better OB% Straw. |

Now that's the Greinke we traded for. What a game.

I was being facetious about Jake, people named Corch. Short of maybe Byron Buxton, no one catches that ball that far into the shift.

You have every right to criticize Jake or anyone else, but, at least show some sense with your obvious bias. Straw, with his great speed would not have come close to catching it and neither would anyone in the game today. Find me ONE pitcher who would not want Jake playing CF at the time. Your question is too ridiculous to deserve a response but I gave you one. |

I doubt if Straw would have gotten a better jump due to lack of experience and I doubt if he would have tried to dive for it. |

Maybe in the minds who don't know enough to make a sensiible evaluation. yeah yeah, we've all read it from you 1000 times before (along with 2000 posts about Altuve's dumb ass and 1500 about Correas poon tang). We keep holding out hope that you'll eventually make a post about something other than these 3 things. |

I will contradict any ridiculous post I read about Jake's defense. I concur with your opinion of his hitting. As long as Altuve exhibits traits of a dumbass, I will point it out. i know it bothers those who thinks he can do no wrong, but. the fact is he does a lot of dumb things on the field in spite of being a good player. As for Corrrea, i think his actions help to verify what I think, and, from other posts I've read, I am certainly not the only one who questions Correa's dedication to this team. |

If the shift kept Jake from catching it, neither of those two guys would have caught it. |

Everyone who pointed out that Jake's inability to catch the ball was due to the shift, go to the head of the class. Whiners who actually believe that he blew it, stay after class to clean the erasers and wash the blackboard.

Whiners who actually believe that he blew it, stay after class to clean the erasers and wash the blackboard. Let me give up a little backstory to Marsinick's standing here at this board. It is not that he is that disliked by members, it is that we have one particular poster who is like his "One Man Fan Club". To get a rise out of that one person, Jake gets ribbed alot. Sometimes justifiably, sometimes not. |

My point was about the catchability of the ball, although I probably muddied it by incorporating some of the chit-chat on the thread. P.S. Yes, I know that Superman isn't real. I hope learning this isn't a spoiler for some folks.  |

You know, for someone who complained so vociferously about the negativity on this forum, you sure have been freely throwing around labels today. |

He needs to be unceremoniously defenestrated out onto Crawford St. through a door with no knob on the outside. |

I've never had any heartburn with Jake, as long as it is realized he is a weak hitting, late inning defensive replacement. I think he is adquate in that role. Any expectations above that is unreasonable. His baserunning blunder the other week, chaffed me, but I've gotten over it. |

Humbly begging your forgiveness. |
