Gonna have to beat Verlander at least once. That will be a challenge.

Very much of a challenge

And they have to beat Eovaldi.

 

[DT LUNA]

And they have to beat Eovaldi.

And maybe Scherzer

 

[scotsman1948]

And maybe Scherzer

And don’t forget Montgomery

Verlander has pitched some bad games. We will have to lay off his breaking pitches that are out of the zone.

 

[Senator_fan]

Yeah, they will keep Chapman on.

Probably but he has a career ERA of 5.55 vs. HOU.

Yeah Scherzer and Montgomery as well, but I was simply giving the name of who I think our best is at this point in time. The truth is we can easily match them starting pitcher for starting pitcher. In fact, we can not only match them, but best them.

Some of his postseason numbers over the last few years are a little shaky.

No surprises with that

 

[saddles]

I guess Scherzer will start Game 3.

Figure they may piggyback him and Dunning

 

[saddles]

The Astro have hit lefties harder than righties this year. I wonder if that means Dunning starts Game 4.

 

[saddles]

Bradford did really well against the Astros this year, even though he is a lefty. Only 2 earned runs in 9 innings. He allowed 8 hits and he didn't walk anyone.
