ALDS - Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros Oct 11-17

[TalontedNoseRider]

Verlander is 5 and 1 vs Seattle this yr with a 2.32 era i believe i heard them say.

Logan better be on.

100%

Houston has seven hitters with at least 250 plate appearances who have posted a wRC+ that’s better than league average (100), and five of them are above 125. They beat their opponents in a myriad of ways. Our arch nemesis has been Yonder Alvarez who alone is batting .327 against us with 5 home runs. So yes, Logan better be on it.

I see us losing today and winning on Thursday. But, with this team? Anything is possible. Let's Rock!

 

[SonicHawk]

**** Verlander. Winning 6-3.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

If we beat Verlander, next pint is on me Sonic

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Looks like same roster as the last series.

Verlander against Gilbert in game 1.

Valdez against Castillo in game 2.

Don’t think either manager has said anything about games 3-5.

Just read that Ray has an ERA over 10 against Houston this year. I would highly recommend Servais not using him in the rotation. And if you do, a very short leash.

 

[DJrmb]

I'm nervous, pumped, scared, and excited all at the same time. This is going to be one hell of a challenge.



That said, this team has already proven they're on the right track, building for lasting success, and made the next step in their progression to a WS. At this point we're playing with house money, I just hope we get to play a little longer

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Just get that split in Houscum and we have a LEGIT shot wo win this series.

Yeah, if we get a split in Houston I like our chances. Still not a done deal until the last out of the third win, whoever gets that. Even if we lose, heaven forbid, we need to put up a respectable fight for future meetings. They've owned us for too long.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Exactly, they are a MUCH better team. At least right for now. But win or lose, this is a huge chance to send a message going forward.

 

[Bobblehead]

Cal does not disappoint

 

[SonicHawk]

Verlander is a bitch and his wife's still a 10.

 

[Echawks]

Um we struggle against verlander right?

 

[Crizilla]

4-0

 

[SonicHawk]

I GOT A ******* STIFF ONE.

 

[Chapow]

Looong way to go, but that really couldn't have started any better so far.

 

[Echawks]

we can get verlander out of the game in the third, start running through that pen..

 

[Crizilla]

7 more innings with a 4-0 lead? easy. Lets go boys

 

[Crizilla]

MANNY ACTA IS DUMB
STILL UP 6-2 LETS GO

 

[Chapow]

M's with the immediate response to the Astros runs. That's HUGE!
