I think it would be a big mistake, but it’s not something that I would put past Joe.

With how left handed they are, I think it's probably King or Sousa


Dont sleep on the new lefty baw Hendrickson. In his 2 appearances, he looked good against the lefties that he faced.

In my dreams neither King or Sousa are on the roster.

Shoot, great point on him. Completely forgot about him already

And he's stretched out so if he's in control and getting easy outs you could push the envelope a little more than with those other guys.

I had forgotten that he was a starter in the minors. he pitched 113.2 innings. Don't know how long it has been since he went deep into a game, but I think he can be useful in some role.


I hate the concept of the bullpen game, but Javier getting hurt forced Joe's hand. There is no sense rushing Brown. I would rather have him on his normal rest Wednesday.

And against all odds, the patchwork games worked pretty well last week with the issue of the starters going deep. (obvious exception being shitty Sousa's blow up on Friday)

That means it will 100% blow up tomorrow, but the dudes have shown that they can swing in different roles and get big outs in big time games.

I am a lot more interested in who is set up for the bulk work behind the opener. Blubaugh, Ullola and Pecko have all looked pretty good doing it. I wonder if they hold Blubaugh back so he can be available for later inning work

Yea definitely the most important decision of the series.

Very intimidating looking at the options they have to get through a playoff game.

How did all those old teams make it through champagne celebrations without going blind?

Just seems weird to me.

Go Astros!

As much as this thread has focused on pitching (and I get it, you can’t get absolutely shelled) I am much more concerned about the hitting…primarily because this series is being played in a place where we don’t hit.

This guy brings up a pretty good debate actually.

If you are going to be in an arse kicking contest, do you want to be the one-legged dude, the blind dude, the cerebral palsy dude, the paraplegic dude, or that dude with the brittle bone disease?

Adversity’s Knocking. Don’t Open the Door.

When I got my morning coffee today, Latte Lance told me that he is available and he says he definitely has 52 more curveballs left in his arm.
