    They might be, but that's a cop out right now. As far as we can tell they're just better.

    Their defense up the middle has been better.  Management bad on both sides.  Their offense is clicking while ours isn't but theirs is a veteran offense and ours younger.  Their SP has gotten the ball over the plate more in counts where they needed to.  

    I'm not convinced that we aren't the overall better team.  Take out a team in the AL Central, put the Astros in their place, I still think we have a shot at winning the division.

    Its just the same shit with us though, poor fundamentals.  They definitely are a better fundamental team.

    I'd love to see if we can dump Keuchel.  Save some salary.

    Ha good luck with that.  What prospects are we attaching?  Anyone want to send him to the Cubs for a bag balls while throwing Vera or Jose Rodriguez in the deal as the centerpiece and a guy like Thompson as the sweetener?  That's a lot of bad money and only so many teams willing to take it on.  The price would be legit spects.

    Jose and Eloy have always been ground ball hitters. Both have average launch angles below 10 degrees despite being power hitters. 

    Abreu has choked on balls up and Eloy has aggressively chased pitches down and there's no reason to change the approach of he's going to keep doing it.

    Ultimately on the playoffs, your talent needs to shine.  You can only tolerate so many players having a shit series.

    Issue with our pitching today were bad decisions and bad pitch selections.  Challenging hitters with fastballs in game situations with pitchers with great sliders. Letting Rodon pitch to Correa with the bases loaded. A fastball right down the middle to Maldonado for a hit and RBI and pitch to Bregman throwing him a fastball 3-0.  Results of these three actions was 5 runs.

    TLR reacts to the situation instead of thinking ahead.  This is embarrassing to everyone except dorf and Merkin.

    Maybe Hernandez is Cleveland's spy to sabotage the Sox.

    I'd believe it only if Eloy was also the Cubs spy because he's been a total dog this whole series.  And yeah I know he's had a couple seeing eye singles who gives a fuck.  Same with Abreu.  These guys are here to have great ABs and crush the ball in the air when it counts not everything on the ground.
