    Sometimes, when bored at work, I go into other team's forums.. but just to see how they react to the game, and post some of their comments back here. I never post in other forums.

    So who pitches Friday, Saturday, and Sunday? I'm mainly trying to see the next time Keuchel and Verlander will be up. Would Dallas go Game 4 and Verlander go Game 5 and then Morton Game 6 and then Keuchel Game 7? hypothetically. Trying to decide whether to buy game 5 tickets or not.

    Fangraphs has a complicated set of spreadsheets you can download that takes everything into account, or u can google and get a general win expectancy calculator that won’t take into account the stadiums and pitchers and stuff like that, but it’s faster.

    Anybody trying to get the fitted new era World Series patch hats better head on down to the store at Minute Maid Park. They got a few shipments apparently today and they’re loaded. Just picked up 4 :)

    And their manager got out coached and they lost home field and to lose by 1 is harder than by 5 bc they were SO close

    So you would give Dallas and Verlander 5 days rest instead of 4? I don't know why you wouldn't bring Dallas out Saturday and Verlander out Sunday to try and clinch at home. Assuming we win Friday.

    I stayed up to watch but I guess some of these things didn't register

    Don't have to explain. I think it's normal to be curious.

    Glad we're talking about baseball!

    No...if Keuchel pitches game 4 (Saturday), he would be pitching on three days rest. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

    4/2 @ HOU - 8.2 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 14K (The "almost" no hitter)
    5/11 @ HOU - 7 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 8K
    7/6 vs HOU - 6 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 6K
    8/12 @ HOU - 8 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 15K
    9/24 vs HOU - 5.1 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 9K

    2014 (Astros 70-92)
    4/11 vs HOU - 8 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 9K
    7/9 vs HOU - 6 IP, 10 H, 6 ER, 8K
    8/9 @ HOU - 4 IP, 9 H, 5 ER, 7K

    2015 - Darvish missed season after Tommy John surgery

    2016 (Astros 84-78)
    6/8 vs HOU - 5 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 7K
    8/7 @ HOU - 7 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 8K
    9/4 vs HOU - 4 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 4K

    2017 (Astros 101-61)

    It was on fox 26. They cut away though because the reporter was getting scared... there was some **** going on on camera... But from what she said it sounded like it was worse behind the camera man.

    This is good news for the Astros.
