If it comes to that, I like our chances. Astros have Brown, Valdez and Kikuchi lined up for that 3 game series. rupert3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rupert3 Posted September 22 Author Report Share Posted September 22 Aggie. It looks like Stros wll make the 87 wins you talked about a couple of months ago. 90 is still in the making. White Sox have lost 119. Who would think in today's so-called parity in baseball that that can happen? Looks like Tucker is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After clinching the division in the 3 game series with Seattle, those last 3 games at Cleveland will mean nothing. I see Houston giving some players, including some pitchers, some time off during that series. Astros get a win today, coupled with a Mariners loss, will put them up 6 with 6 to play. All they would need is one more win. I predict Houston to clinch by Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggiesAreWe Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 Astros lose 9-8. (Hader blew the save) Mariners lose 6-5 Houston still leads 5 games with 6 to play. Magic number is 2. rupert3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupert3 Posted September 22 Author Report Share Posted September 22 Well we lead a charmed life so to say. Rangers beat Mariners 6-5 in bottom 9th. Bull pen blows a good pitching job by Arrighetti and lose 9-8 and we were a little short on comeback in bottom of 9. Led whole game almost. they went ahead 6-5 we came back 7-6 they went ahead 9-7 in top of nine and we almost came back but a great game. Too many great players today to mention who. Astros just have to figure a way to keep Bregman around because he just shines on defense 3 great putouts to first. Magic number still 3. So now we have to take care of business.

BEARCPA Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 I apologize for going to the game yesterday. They haven't won a game I've attended since June 2019, and I've been to multiple games every year since then, except the covid season in 2020. I promise to not go to any playoff games this year. baddog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya. My routine with the playoffs is I will start watching the games on TV first, then when the Astros lose, I go to radio only. I stick with whatever works the best. 2022 I listened to every game on the radio down on the beach. I am all about superstition when it comes to playoff baseball.

Bregman reminds me of Brooks Robinson on some of his catch and throws. Need to pay the man. rupert3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupert3 Posted September 24 Author Report Share Posted September 24 Another Bullpen fiasco. Hunter Brow pitching was ok and when they pulled him the bullpen just fell apart. 6-1 loss. Only bright spot was a dinger by Heyward.. Hopefully Aggie is right and finish it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rupert3 Posted September 25 Author Report Share Posted September 25 Could'nt have been any closer. Won on 3 Dingers. Tucker, Bregman, and Heyward. 8 straight playoffs Valdez 15-7 Hader 34 saves Alvarerez out for tomorros game also. Aggie nailed the Tuesday night game win he said a whle back.

1989NDN Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Final $1.00 dog night in 2024. Alex Bregman with a deep bomb to CF, Tuck with a bomb, and Jason Heyward with the difference maker and a great catch. I owe Dana Brown an apology. His signings of Yusei Kikuchi and Jason Heyward were the right moves. I was critical...and I was WRONG!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rupert3 Posted September 26 Author Report Share Posted September 26 Game was sort of a joke today but so what. They showed a scenario where Mariners can still make wildcard by winning out and 3 other teams lose out or just win 1 or 2 games. We'll see.
