ALDS - Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros Oct 11-17

[Chapow]

SO... everyone wanted Scott as Manager of the Year... watching his playoff moves.. Id rather him be fired

The best lineup he has available to him has scored 0 runs in 15 innings... Yes, let's blame Servais, not the players. That seems super rational.

How is Garcia not called for balk when he never sets?

He only does that when there is noone on base. He pitches from the stretch when men are on.

 

[Chapow]

Plus game one he took out Castillo too early

Castillo didn't pitch in game 1, and we've already explained why he took out Gilbert when he did. Because Gilbert has been pretty poor the 3rd time through the lineup for the most part regardless of pitch count.

Correct, meant Gilbert, my bad. But is he really that bad 3rd time through?

 

[Hawk-Lock]

I don’t think Festa can pitch that much. The most he ever pitched all season was 2.1 innings.

This is just bad hitting now. We are missing down the middle fastballs.

 

[RobDaHawk]

I just feel it hamstrings us too much when we rely on the bullpen this much. But at the end of the day as you've said. No one has even scored a run yet, so we should blame the bats anyway.

 

[Crizilla]

The Ray decision and pitching to Alvarez were the big no-nos. The Gilbert one is debatable....I lean toward not pulling him there. Regardless of any analytics or stats pulling your number 2 starter with a 4 run lead at 84 pitches makes you look really silly if things go wrong and thats what happened.

 

[Chapow]

Opponent average is nearly .300 against Gilbert the 3rd time through the lineup. And that's the average against all teams. The Astros are way better than most teams.

I cant imagine getting paid 10k per pitch basically
Being tired after 15 pitches? Seriously?

I think the smoke is affecting them. 5+ hours outside in that will start to make you feel lightheaded.

 

[Bobblehead]

oh Cal, you've had some meatballs

 

[balakoth]

So... if this next inning we go to the top.. and he puts in Ray against their 2 and then oh yeah Alv 3... ill rest my case yet again

 

[balakoth]

oh Cal, you've had some meatballs

hhalf our team has been getting meatballs

Munoz and Sewald blew it in game 1. We scored 2 runs in game 2.

 

[Bobblehead]

LOL and now it's Adam Fraizer.. eeeh

 

[Chapow]

So... if this next inning we go to the top.. and he puts in Ray against their 2 and then oh yeah Alv 3... ill rest my case yet again

What other choice does he have? There's no one left. Literally.

 

[cymatica]

It's a double header

 

[cymatica]

So... if this next inning we go to the top.. and he puts in Ray against their 2 and then oh yeah Alv 3... ill rest my case yet again

Maybe he will totally raydeme himself

 

[balakoth]

Munoz and Sewald blew it in game 1. We scored 2 runs in game 2.

Based on when they were pitched yes... Sewald in the 7th? Ok? And the pitching picks gave up that lead..... point?
