World Series- Houston Astros vs Los Angeles Dodgers


Recommended Posts

What happens to the astros bats on the road?  In the playoffs they have been night and day scoring runs at home vs scoring on the road.

series vs the redsox: (2 home games/2 road games)

home=16 runs (8 run average)

road=8 runs (4 run average)

 

series vs the yankees: (4 home games/3 road games)

home=15 runs (3.75 average)

road=5 runs (1.7 average)

 

series vs dodgers: (1 road game so far)

road=1 run

If it were me^^

But I do not get paid the big bucks, and do not claim to be a baseball guru.

I like that lineup except for Reddick. Beltran maybe? Gives you a switch hitter. Give Marisnick a shot. Can he do any worse?

Beltran is awful. I know he has shown the "clutch gene" in previous post seasons, but this ain't then. He wouldn't come off the bench, if it were me. I would be more inclined to play Marisnick. gun to my head? Reddick

I'm fully aware of how Beltran has fallen by the wayside, but like I said, one hit would be an improvement. I don't make the big bucks either. Strictly armchair.

Marisnick is out for the season and not on the WS roster.

The problem is the Astros never developed this spot. Springer was a nice boost when they moved him back there last year. Maybe they were hoping Aoki could have been this or been a secondary leadoff guy at the bottom of the order.

I always thought Bregman could make a nice long-term solution now that he has developed as a hitter. He works counts and steals bases. I know he did for a while in Triple A and maybe some in college? Altuve would be the guy if he wasn't the best bat.

Doesn't matter, this is who they are. They don't play situational, station-to-station baseball. They hit a bunch of fastballs for 2Bs and HRs. And are still susceptible to good pitching. Altuve had a nice AB off Kershaw and Correa followed him by bouncing the first pitch into what should have been a double play. Smh  

Put somebody else in the top spot, then whoever is behind him will probably swing at junk.

Anyway, I think our bats could do some damage to the Dodgers bullpen (as good as they've been). With the exception of Jansen, all those guys were borderline starters or low-level closers to start this season. Gotta chase their starters first though. Tonight could be the series, knowing they have Darvish and Kershaw (again) lurking ahead.

The only change I would make, would be to swap the top 2.  As usual, AJ slow to change and Special K Springer is back at the top trying to hit 6 run homers

    • 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. 
    • 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
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
