You're probably right, but they will play at LSU this year. That might be the best hope.

He still cracks me up.
-
You guys just created a rumor out of nothing, The title is misleading.
-
He's been horrible, and then he looked almost decent to decent. That's a step up. That could be turning a corner. Looking at every pitch he made last night, he was way better than his last start. I think he is turning the corner. You can see things your way, fine.

I'm not talking about wanting a roomful of pink hatters. I do my share of criticizing, too. I realize it's the heat of the moments of frustration, but to me, it's not being a true fan to, at some point, say every player, coach and secretary sucks, because they came up short once, twice or 5 times in a row.

Does it not matter than all the runs scored on a botched (no error) play by Bogey and a horrible bloop hit off a great pitch? Do you watch the games or just look at the box score? No, Price was not good. He wasn't really even decent, but he was not bad. Even the 4 walks were all on 3-2 pitches. He was not as bad as the numbers made him look. That's my point.

he has to shed the tough guy persona and wear a warm undershirt when the temps are in the 40's.

You crack me up, cp.

We just scored 11 runs off two of the best pitchers in MLB, against the best road team in MLB, against one of the best pens in MLB. Now, we go to Houston, where the Astros do not play nearly as well as they do on the road. We face pitchers we have better histories against, and have seemingly found a mix of player to play that maximize our offensive potential, namely by playing Devers, Holt and Vaz more often, if not FT. I have way more confidence in Barnes & Kelly than I have in months. I think Price may have turned the corner. Porcello looks like he's "got this." Now, it's Eovaldi time. I'm not sure what to expect from him, but I'm hopeful.

I don't even go to the game threads until the 9th inning. They are a mess. Total bitch fest with very little evidence of true fandom.
-
Part of being a great manager is to get marginal players to play over their heads by finding or creating roles or situations they can be successful in. Other than Kimbrel, our pen looks like a joke, on paper, and even Kimbrel has struggled. Despite all that, our pen still ranked 10th in team WAR. They've also held their own vs the best pens in MLB, so far, in the playoffs. Cora is a big reason we have gotten this far. Those criticizing him would criticize any manager for anything that does not work. Every bad play, bad game and loss is always the managers fault.

As it turned out Michigan jumped higher than I had them, and we both left Georgia out of our top 10. Actual: 1. ALA 2. OSU 3. CLEM 4, ND 5. LSU 6. MICH 7. TEX 8. GA 9. OK 10 UCF 11. FLA 12. ORE 13. W VA
-
If Michigan can beat OSU, we'lljump them, and our win vs Michigan will look even better. Clemson doesn't play a hard schedule. We could pass them based on schedule strength, but if they have us behind them now, it might be hard to pass them.
-
They are not a big market team, for sure, but they have a lot of money to spend due to all those years of spending peanuts as they rebuilt. They had a $26M budget in 2013. $50M in 2014 $72M in 2015 $97M in '16 $124M in '17 $160M+ this year. I could see them reaching the limit and even going over for a year or two to keep them in the race. They can and will make money, if they keep winning while spending $210-235M.
-
He really wasn't that bad. Bogey plays a ball in slow motion leads to 2 runs.. Super blooper base hit leads to more. Take those away and Price gets the win. Nobody is saying he was good. He just wasn't THAT bad.
-
I would not take either one out of their roles.
-
Price doesn't deserve another start. He is trash in the playoffs. Cora can't figure that out? Bad play by Bogey. Cheap bloop hit. 4 BBs was bad, but I thought Price looked good enough to start again. ERod scares me right now.
-
I'd stick with Porcello for game 4, in case we need him in game 7. Moving him back to game 5 lessens what he can give us in game 7. I'm glad Eovaldi is going game 3, and yes all odd numbered games are pivotal when a series is tied. I'd bench Kinsler for good and use him just as a late inning defensive replacement for Holt at 2B. Devers should start. He's always hit well, when it counts. His defense shocked me tonight. I'd move JBj to 7th in the order. Vaz looks like his bat is improving to 2017 levels. He's the guy with Eovaldi & Porcello anyways, so maybe we can get some good O from him. How about Leon being used as a pinch runner? LMAO!

...as in Shaken Baby Syndrome? Maybe.

Post of the Year!
-
The Astros still have some nice young arms, and their farm is not empty. What happens with Keuchel and Morton will be interesting.
-
Maybe rumors of his arm going kaput are just rumors.
-
My take aways... Great game! Huge hit by JBJ. Kinsler cannot hit, if his life depended on it. Price looked better than the numbers show. What was Bogey thinking when he nonchalantly played that ball? Devers looks like he has his hitting eye back. I'd play him (3B) and Holt (2B) as much as possible. Cora managed a great game. Our pen carried us. Surprise, surprise! Porcello has proven to be our savior. Kimbrel sure likes to play with fire. Often it's firemen who are the pyros. Now, go take 2 here in Houston!
-
A lot depends on how high their budget can and will go. If they choose to spend like the Sox this year, they can keep the window open for longer than we can (at $39M over the limit).
-
Trading Moreland and freeing up his money may be a good way to make the change a year earlier.
