Like I said earlier, don't like short rest for Keuchel.  As baddog said, terrible with risp.  Got to get Reddick out of the two hole, although swinging for the fence Springer not much better in the leadoff spot.  Precisely the wrong time for bats to go old.  Probably should have started Peacock this game, now 4-0.

I don’t like the wholesale lineup changes depending on lefty vs righty.  Bregman was rolling in the 2 hole, then he gets dropped to 8th.  Reddick is 0’fer the series and Beltran is hitting .083.  Gattis has gotten 4 ab’s this series.

Re-sign Verlander(Kate, as well) and revamp bullpen.  See you in spring training.

Body language was terrible tonight.  The “MVP” completely mailed in his 9th inning AB too.  Day off might help.  Verlander needs to bring in Game 6.  CC is due for a poor outing if Stros can get to Game 7.

That sure would be tempting to have Kuechel and Verlander for games 6 & 7 at home.  But you don’t want to give away any games and I’m sure he was trying to stop the bleeding.

We arm chair coaches just have to complain.  There have been some decisions that have left me scratching my head.  As Phatmack said, the lineup changes are frustrating.  If Reddick is in the two hole Friday, you really have to wonder about AJ.  I will be watching, and hopefully will not need a new tv Saturday morning!

I believe Verlander is under control until 2021. You won't have to resign him for a while. That was one of the reasons nobody wanted to trade for him. Whoever did, I believe, is stuck with his big salary for 3 more seasons.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
