Baseball

tough one last night. houston is solid start to finish. i was hoping to get to verlander, he has stumbled in the past.
we need this one tonight, or it may already be over. price is an unknown quantity and will have a short leash, but the bullpen is sketchy and astros lineup formidable

 

You could argue Cole has the same unproven postseason history.

As a Pirates fan I was sad to see him go.

But if you can’t get anything going against him to get to the pen, might be a short series heading back to the juice box.

 

The red lederhosen came to play tonight .

Or is it just Gerrit Cole and the stage being too big?

 

price had me nervous, now houston fans are. could run out of pitchers by the end of this one

 

3 or 4 runs would be huge

 

They do seem to have short leashes these days.

The home plate ump seems to have a VERY tight strike zone.

Nothing off the corners appears to be called.

 

You’ve got a crooked number to start.

Now to see how far it goes.

 

Also on deck tonight is Tom terrific.

You Bostonians have a big evening ahead of you.

 

vs a 5-0 team

 

It should be a high scoring affair and entertaining .

Thankfully all 3 of my fantasy leagues are locked up for a W this week barring any crazy scoring.

I’ll be flipping between the 2 games.

 

could be two shootouts

 

i took a beating in my daughters office pool today

 

Houston just tied it up .

Might not meet the “pitchers duel” expectation heading into the game.

Always fun to watch a high scoring playoff game.

 

Straight up pick’em pool, or are you picking against the spread ?

I didn’t see the dolphins winning or the cowboys shellacking the jaguars.

Straight up picking in my office pool has me 4th out of 93, so not too bad this year.

 

in baseball, any scoring is interesting

 

With the tight strike zone, it should be an on base fest.

So plenty of stress for fans of both sides .

 

straight up. 4th is excellent so far.

 

i'm in 6th overall, 4-6 this week so far

 

Trying to go counter flow and get some upsets to improve your overall standing ?

Or is it just a weekly winner with disregard to overall picking prowess?
