Getting Verlander, when the team was admittedly down about the trade deadline and coming back to Houston at the same time? Hope we get in our groove and secure home field. McCullers and Correa coming back in a few days will provide a big spark as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS22 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Giles has been amazing this season. Really happy with his development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texansfan713 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Magic number to clinch division is 3. Can clinch as early as tomorrow. I'm going to the game tonight. That Marisnick injury hurts but its good we traded for Maybin. Plus Springer is starting in CF regardless. Is to safe to say Peacock has turned his career around? He has been pretty damn good for us this season. He always had the talent (was a top 100 prospect at one point). I feel comfortable starting him in a playoff game need be. Edit: Oh damn, I wasn't aware how bad Maybin has hit since he been an Astros. I know he had a few good games offensively but sheesh.

Texansfan713 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I started watching baseball in 01. Ironically that was the last time we won a division title. I was 10 years old at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartica4Real Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Only need to go 3-2 to reach 100 wins! ALDS home field is locked up now though so we'll probably be resting guys during the Sox series while they still have to lock up the division, dunno if we'll get it.

Texansfan713 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Indians facing the W. Sox this weekend so safe to say we will be playing Boston/Yankees in the ALDS depending on who wins their division. Personally I want Boston. Their rotation don't scare me after Sale.

Texansfan713 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Game 1 starter should be Verlander. Our best starting pitcher vs their best. I would round out the rotation with Keuchel, Peacock and McHugh. At first I was thinking about the possibility of McCullers pitching out the pen but now I'm not even sure he should do that.

Lance should 100% pitch out the pen, he has too much potential for an absolutely dominant appearance to think otherwise. He needs a short leash though. I agree with what the rotation should be, that's exactly what I have it pegged as too. I would even entertain the idea of having dual starters, ie: Peacock starts and Morton relieves him after however many innings in game 3, and then McHugh/McCullers in game 4.
