The Diamondbacks have only one loss at home this postseason. Although in fairness, they haven't played too many games there.
I hope they win more than 90 next year. Being able to rest guys the final week and getting the wild card bye is essential for a team with as much...
They're not gonna go from a 20-22 win team 3 years in a row with a horrible culture to suddenly becoming a .500 ballclub on opening night. This is...
True. In retrospect, I do appreciate them preventing the 4-peat. But I really hated seeing Gonzo, Finley, and the Big Unit all celebrating a World...
The funny thing is I loathed the 2001 Diamondbacks. Mostly due to them winning a World Series after only 4 years and having several former Astros...
This one is agonizing. The D'Backs are a great story and a fun underdog to cheer for(especially with Strom and Yuli's brother there). And I always...
Well next time around, the Astros should take care of business at home against the Yankees, A's, and Royals. Then they'd be able to rest their...
I think the frustration(aside from losing to the Rangers) is that despite the Astros not being a WS-caliber team, they managed to win their...
I would argue Maldy wasn't quite as awful last postseason. He had a huge double in Game 1 of the ALCS that immediately tied the game after Bader's...
Especially when the bottom of the lineup is struggling so much already. Last postseason we got away with Maldy starting most of their games...
The window is still wide open......in 2024. Beyond that, I'm not so sure. What really hurts is those Abreu and Montero contracts that last through...
I don't expect much out of him next season. I'm just hoping that extra motivation to score another payday elevates him from from mediocre to...
Maybe they're hoping he's motivated to pitch his ass off next season in order to score one more big contract as he approaches his mid-30s....
1) Get a new manager. I don't know whether it'll be Espada or someone from outside the organization, but upgrading from Dusty who was dreadful in...
True. He's not had a great series, but by default he's probably the best option for Dusty to bat 2nd. That says more about how awful the rest of...
Bregman batting second has me a little worried. But I'm glad to see Yordan batting third. He needs as many at bats as possible.
You could argue he cost the Astros the game when you combine all his moves. Starting Framber again, not pinch hitting for Maldy in the 7th, going...
Has Verlander even pitched in relief outside of Game 4 of the ALDS in 2017? And as I recall, that one didn't go so well. I agree all hands are on...
No way in hell is Verlander pitching in relief. Replace him with France in that lineup and I could see Dusty doing that. Although in the end, I...
In a close playoff game where the Astros are trailing, Maldy should never have an at bat in the 5th inning or beyond. I know people will point to...
