I think bullpen usage is pretty straightforward
Top 4 guys are Iggy, Minter, Johnson and Jimenez. Hand in tight spots against lefties. Yates the 6th guy I guess.
Tonkin to punt/eat innings and not the worst guy to have if you get deep in an extra innings game. Maybe Chavez takes this spot if what he did today continues.
Elder on the roster as injury insurance essentially early in a game.
Wright’s role is the biggest wild card to me. Could potentially be a high leverage weapon but not a lot of time left to work him into this role.
That’s your 12 guys. Anderson was apparently really bad last night in Gwinnett and I don’t see McHugh making it even if healthy. There’s been talk about Waldrep but he hasn’t been promoted to Gwinnett yet and Mississippi’s season is over.

Yates and Iglesias are by far my biggest worries.
After that, I'd be lying to say that I'm not concerned the way Jiminez has been trending lately. AJ is the biggest wild card of the bunch, he can be dominant one day and issuing a bases loaded walk on 4 pitches to Maldanado in the world series the next.
He can be such a head case sometimes. I get that is largely the case for all relievers, but it's been another level for him. He's been straight up dominant for long stretches for us, yet has a career ERA over 3.
2019 really bad, 2020 really good, 2021 really bad then really good, 2022 really good, 2023 really bad, really good

Jesse will be on the roster, especially after his outing today.

Astros score 2 in the 8th to beat the Orioles 2-1, we remain 2 games ahead of them.
3 games up on the Dodgers who play Detroit tonight.

Good job Stros…
With 10 games left (3 series)…
If we go 2/3 and 2/4 the rest of the way, we’ll be 103-59
Doyers would have to go 11-1 to pass us
Orioles would have to go 9-1
If we go 1/3 and 1/4, we’ll be 100-62
Doyers would have to go 8-4 to pass us
Orioles would have to go 6-4
Still in good shape just need to get back to playing good ball

has this thread been anchored yet?
EDIT: nope, it hasn't so I'll post this here instead of starting a new thread.
Anyone have luck with the postseason ticket presales today?
After a lot of clicking and repeated messages about the tickets I'm trying to select have already been claimed by another person, I finally landed a few.
Got two different sets of 2 tickets for NLCS home game 4 (Game 7 most likely), and another set of 2 for home game 3.
That in conjunction with the World Series Game 7 Delta Club seats I have through the season ticket group that I'm in, I'll hopefully see a clincher of some kind in person (unless we sweep those series which I'd be ok with as well lol)

With the built in off days, I’m not sure Elder even makes the NLDS roster. I think another bullpen arm would be more valuable. That way you can use a Hand to come in and just face 1 LH batter. I think some of our backend guys are facing more batters than they’ll actually have to in the playoffs. And with the rest days, the top guys won’t have to pitch back-to-back days much, and never 3 days in a row.
And I looked at Yates numbers a bit closer last night. His overall numbers the past 7-15 games aren’t good overall. But he had one terrible outing where he gave up 4 or 5 runs in less than an inning that skews those a bit. Most of his recent outings, he hasn’t given up a run.
Granted, they stepped up big time, but we won the World Series riding just Smith, Matzek, Jackson, and Minter. (I am very concerned that 3 of those were high velo LHP and we only have 1 this year). But with the adrenaline of the playoffs and the extra rest between games, the top 4-5 guys should always be fresh and their velocity should be as high or higher than it’s been all season.
Minter’s walks do concern me, though. He’s not as mentally strong as Matzek was. But we have a huge advantage with Fried and Strider being our 1/2. They should get us to Minter/Joe/Iglesias with a lead pretty much every start, and as long as the NLDS and NLCS don’t go all 5 or 7, we have a great chance of starting each series 2-0.
