Who was she interviewing? AJ? For playoff baseball, and so much at stake, I think the lineup should be a state secret, and either be presented at the latest point possible, or throw out a false one early, and then change. This is absolutlely no reason to give our opponent an opportunity to mentally prepare for the game. Julia was being interviwed by mlb network. The only real question mark in my mind is Reddick vs Tucker. I suspect AJ goes with the experienced player who was hot in September. |

Until about 6 weeks ago I would have thought that putting Brantley in the #2 slot in the batting order was a great move. Now not so much. I’d like to see him moved down to between Yuli and Correa and move everyone from Altuve through Yuli up a notch in the order.

I’d like to see him moved down to between Yuli and Correa and move everyone from Altuve through Yuli up a notch in the order. Brantley has a history of disappearing in the post season. That needs to end tonight. I wish I expected something from Correa, butl, I don't. |

Archie Campbell telling the story of Rendercella is one of the best things you'll ever see.

If there's such a thing as ALDS MVP, I vote for Glasnow. He's 0-2 against us and gave us a great start  |

Some some postseason career offensive updates after the ALDS:
Altuve: .278/.339/.536 (.876 OPS) 11 HR 25 RBI 28 Runs 37 Games (If you take out his miserable first postseason experience in 2015, he's been excellent. Not that an .876 OPS isn't very good.)
Bregman: .248/.368/.496 (.863 OPS) 7 HR 18 RBI 25 Runs 31 Games
Gurriel: .286/.341/.462 (.803 OPS) 3 HR 15 RBI 11 Runs 31 Games
Springer: .285/.361/.570 (.930 OPS) 11 HR 20 RBI 25 Runs 37 Games
Brantley: .182/.229/.250 (.479) OPS) 1 HR 2 RBI 3 Runs 12 Games (Hopefully that good game last night has helped him break that barrier in the postseason down.)
Reddick: .212/.274/.285 (.559 OPS) 3 HR 10 RBI 17 Runs 51 Games (Just awful... He's had 2 good series out of 11, and has been just plain brutal since the 2017 ALDS.)
Correa: .262/.314/.483 (.797 OPS) 8 HR 25 RBI 15 Runs 37 Games (He's mostly been pretty good until this series. Give him time.)
Springer, Altuve, and Bregman are the main guys to carry us. Let's hope it continues.

Let's hope it continues. After suffering through the late 90s/early 2000s playoff runs where our offense was putrid. This is nice to see! |

Yeah, even after winning it all in 2017, I still find myself expecting them to struggle in the spotlight sometimes. |

Man, I have to admit that I feel a little bad for Kershaw. A player of his caliber having so much failure in the postseason is a tough burden to carry.

Theu say both Glasnow and Kershaw were tipping pitches. In the first inning they clearly showed Altuve whispering to the dugout after his hit. And After Bregman scored he whispered something to CC as well. |

Catching them tipping pitches is part of the game. It's not dirty, unethical, or against the rules.
And I don't have a problem with a player relaying signs to hitters from 2B either.
The only thing that shouldn't be allowable/tolerated is using spotters and cameras in the bleachers to send signals. Which supposedly we've been accused of in the past but nothing proven.

We’ve been accused but not busted like the Red Sox. |

Glasnow joining in on the claims is weak, though. Just take your L and go home.
