More like Hinch's planning and management, but sure.

You just dont have it in you to admit I was right. Thats ok.

We're 8 wins away from you 'being right'. Hope you are, but it's early and baseball is a game for superstition and jinxes.

the thing about baseball, especially at this level, is that the margin for error is so thin... Your stud goes out and doesn't have his best stuff and their spare throws the game of his life... your 375 foot shot with 2 on is caught leaning over the fence and their 300 pop fly glances off of your glove into the crowd for a three run homer...

it's what makes this time of year so intense... the stakes are so high and the difference between winning and losing so thin...

it's awesome.... but stressful

But random regular season games fall that way too. I was present for 1 one of Peacocks 2 losses and it was like that. He just didn't have it that day. It's thin all the time.

The stakes are higher now that's why it's intense just like you said.

We have the best lineup in the history of the game. Batters 1-9 are head to toe legit. We have a stable of pitchers slap full of heat. I'm not worried in the slightest that they can put it all together.

Lol.

The networks are thrilled right now.

The Final Four of MLB is New York, Ellay, Chicago and Houston... the four largest cities in the United States

Roll Call for the ALCS ...

I will be at Game 2 (Section 227, Row 1) and Game 7 (Section 411, Row 9), if necessary. Would love to say hello if others are nearby.

Collin McHugh is on the ALCS roster, Tyler White is off.

I'm there tonight and if the series goes more than 5 games will probably get seatgeek tickets to 6 and 7

I'll be at Game 7 if the series gets that far. Section 413 Row 3, I believe. I'll be sure to say hi to you, Valpo!

Yankees more Gregorius down from 3 to 4 due to facing LHP Keuchel.

Go Stros.

Charlie Morton starting Game 3 (and a potential Game 7) is a good call. He started in New York earlier this year, and had 9 strikeouts in 4 shutout innings before Houston got up 9-0 and he gave up a few 5th inning runs. He still got the win and struck out 10.

Astros lineup vs. Tanaka: Springer CF, Reddick RF, Altuve 2B, Correa SS, Gonzalez LF, Gurriel 1B, Beltran DH, Bregman 3B, McCann C.

No Gattis. Hinch must not be wanting to score too many runs.

Club seats! Baller

What a gem by Keuchel! 7 more wins to go!

Been saying it since March.

What a win! So glad to be at that one!

First time to see Verlander in person. Did not disappoint.

This team is made out of testosterone. Except for McCullers.

Serious question: Do you think Verlander is worth what it would cost to get him?

---

Serious answer. No, I don't. Don't think he'd be worth what it would cost to keep him, either.

---

Wayback Machine review: Verlander now has 3 playoff wins, and has allowed 4 runs, 5 bases on balls, and has 16 strikeouts in those games.

Really good deal for the Astros.

I'm a human victory cigar

No, I said after the first week that exactly what's happening right now would happen. You can go back to page 1 for reference. This is now, and has been since opening day, the best team in the league.
