Yeah, he rarely goes more than 5. Would have been nice to get 6 tonight but 5 IP, 1 run will do even if it was ugly.If I remember correctly, the Rays have a pretty good bullpen. If all Blake could give was 5 innings, so be it.
Scrappy pitching from the Rays so farWell, it wasn't pretty, but Curtiss hung on.
Rays players, especially pitchers, are hard to roster due to constantly changing roles. Ever try chasing the Rays closer?I think I briefly had Kiermeier on my fantasy team a few years ago.
Good point! Don't really chase closers in fantasy; I stock up on starting pitchers.Rays players, especially pitchers, are hard to roster due to constantly changing roles. Ever try chasing the Rays closer?
Castillo says, "Eh!"Altuve’s the last guy I’d want to see up there now
but what do I know
Astros were a pretty average offensive team this yearGood pitching stops good hitting. Breaking news at 11.
They kind of coasted through the season, they knew they just had to finish second in the division to get the 6 seed, and no one was really challenging them. They had scored 40 runs in 6 postseason games before this, 33 in 4 games in the just finished A's series.Astros were a pretty average offensive team this year
14th runs
19th homeruns
20th AVG
22nd OBP
16th SLG
16th OPS
Least K’s tho
Yeah, that's still a heck of a lineup.They kind of coasted through the season, they knew they just had to finish second in the division to get the 6 seed, and no one was really challenging them. They had scored 40 runs in 6 postseason games before this, 33 in 4 games in the just finished A's series.
If they run thru Yankees, Astros, Dodgers they will truly earn that monikerI am looking forward to this game. Love afternoon baseball, when I am fully awake.
Geaux, Rays!!!
HaHa, on msnbc this a.m., they were calling the Rays "America's Team," mostly b/c they vanquished the Yankees.
