Chavez opener for me then go from there. Chavez/Drew/Kyle for 5-6

I would not let Drew face this lineup more than once through the order for sure. But we need to see how the first 3 games play out

I might use him, but I’d go Chavez/Smyly. It’s worked

I don’t think I need to show my Smyly receipts but I’m limiting lefty exposure as much as possible vs this lineup. We’re already living dangerously with Fried, Smith, Minter and Matzek. Drew’s stuff is more Will Smith than Tyler Matzek ha

That’s fair. But if he goes curve 70% of the time I’m more okay with it. That fastball will get rocked if he throws it a lot lol

If I am the Astros ain’t no way I’m pitching to Eddie.

I’ll live to fight another day.

That’s why I’d leave him and Freddie 1-2. You really gonna pitch around Eddie to go after Freddie? Leave Ozzie at 3. He’ll get himself out too often and it’s not enough benefit (or deterrent perhaps) to slot him between them to ward off LH pitchers, IMO.

We might just be those mother****ers

Roster looks good. I think I would have liked to see Pache instead of Gore just due to his defensive ability. And the fact that center field in Houston is huge.

WS lineup hits DIFFERENT

Let’s go man. Runs early and often

 

[Wickman]

I’d have switched Jorge and Eddie but let us

 

[C/O]

I can’t make it down for any of the games in person. Support these boys if you can.

Urquidy in game 2 is interesting…I think they are gonna use bullpen quick and early in Game 2 and give Garcia (who’s battled some knee issues) an extra day

I thought about that but Soler has had two great AB’s since coming back. It also avoids Eddie and Freddie facing three lefties tonight

Yeah Eddie will be back vs righties for sure. All good

I would have moved Ozzie down but we are all going to have a great day

Vs a lefty, and what, 1 spot? Lol ok

Idk if that’s a good lineup or you’d handcuff yourself as manager not having one in the 4 spot. Lead off bags for potential RBIs. Tough call.

Interesting. We get this one and they’re in trouble

 

[Dudleys87]

Does Ronnie just show up at the park or would he have to be listed on the roster?

I genuinely don’t know don’t kill me to bad.

Would have to look at Houston’s bullpen for a true opinion but I wouldn’t hit him higher than 5th no matter the hand of the pitcher.
