#1 Pick > Silver Boot. Can the hated Astros help us get a better draft position? New series starts today!

[WastinSomeTime]

So the Astros have scored a total of 2 runs in this series. They must really be missing those trash cans.

Woody talking up 1-dimensional Mathis about bringing him back. Why would any team want that? I would rather see Trevino as our primary catcher next season with Huff as his backup

Ten games left. We currently have the second pick. I have given up on first pick. There is no catching the Pirates. So, what do we have to do to keep the second pick. 2-8??? 3-7???

I think 2-8. We also can’t sweep the diamondbacks. Need at worst a split with them in the 2 game series because they’re a direct competitor for #2.

ideally it goes

Anaheim wins 3/4
diamondbacks sweep us
astros win 3/4

the astros should be playing for playoff positioning and they might even need to hold off the Mariners so I think the Astros will be hungry for the wins, but I’m not sure how much the other team will be trying in the other 6 games.

I would have Mathis leading off. Gallo in 2 hole followed by Oder and Guzman 4th. Ikf and Solak 8th and 9th. In between 5th and 7th you pick em. That should help the cause.

No to Mathis. We can pick up a catcher that can hit a little better and back up Jose'

If Woody has his way Mathis will be the #1catcher next season and Choo will be the DH

With Mathis, Odor and Gallo it doesn’t matter where they hit you are looking at probably 1for 9 with 6 strikeouts

Intended with sarcasm. That line up was intended not to create runs to guarantee a loss and better draft pick.

Well those 3 pretty much guarantee minimal runs
