I was about to ask how old the poster is and where they are from haha

Been going on a lot of walks in the middle of the day since I work from home and the job I started in March’s workload isn’t overwhelming like my last job. It’s just not enough and decided that I need to start going on a bike ride every morning to start the day for at least 30/40 mins (at least to start) and hopefully build up to an hour. Today was day 1. Here’s to losing some weight!

And we were a Machado signing away from him being the long-term 2B (or possibly moved to the OF I guess if he didn’t improve).

How have they been lately? Just glancing at their numbers, it looks like all 3 had good seasons. Glad Greinke is likely to only be available out of pen. Edit: actually, Greinke looks like the worst of the 4 so nevermind.

Hopefully game 2 isn’t too early for you but I bet it will be the second game of the day in the later afternoon (around 3).

This. With Kopech likely sliding into Rodon's spot (assuming he's gone), you're going to need more than 5 starters any way. Plus injuries happen.

Houston still has one left against Tampa, 3 against OAK.

The article I read said he bumped an umpire which is yeah, automatic suspension basically. I think he appeals and serves 1-2 games early next year.

Really 2 since they have to finish ahead.

I get this argument during the season when you really want to give guys at bats to gain experience and adjust and all that. Post-season though is a different animal. He will still get his PT against lefties. It’s fine.

Get him into at least 2 games and he should be good.

Question for those who say we can’t grade the Kimbrel trade yet: if Tepera can’t pitch in the post-season, this trade becomes an F, correct?

Exactly what I was thinking.

I’d gamble on him at that price.

Yep. Offer the QO and move on.

I was just wondering a similar question about who I thought would be a better choice for lead off hitter out of these two. I know people are going to point to when they tried Moncada at the lead off spot like 3 years ago as a reference, but he’s a better player now than at the time.

Was able to grab 4 tickets for upper deck for home game 3 of the ALCS. Hope it goes that far!

Yes sir.

If I had to guess what times they play next week (if season ended the way the standings currently are), I’m guessing 3pm both Thursday and Friday which is cool with me since it helps the work day. I guess possibly even noon on Friday with 4 games to be played. Tampa Bay against New York/Boston will probably get the 6pm slot. edit: wrong thread sort of.

Yeah they have the dates already for when the games will be played. Obviously not where though. They don’t move the ALCS up if both teams that advance sweep.

Grow that suspension.

As of now, the home games are likely the 10th (Sunday) and 11th (Monday).

Yeah I’m assuming so.

Yep. Under 100 for upper deck behind home plate. I was seeing as low as $74ish.

Anyone ever use Vivid Seats? I’m seeing tickets for upper deck, behind home plate for under $100 to game 4 (if necessary).
