2021 roster

Managing questions, relative to extra innings: To the average fan, it would appear that the addition runner on 2nd in extra innings adds pressure to every player in the field to WIN the game quickly.

How does that additional pressure compare to the pressure of relieving in late innings of close or tied regulation games?

If there is a difference in pressure, should at least one of the top tier of the BP - Stanek, Graveman & Pressley - be held in reserve for extra innings - or the next game if they are not needed?

PS: (9th inning tonight; same as last night) Apparently notā€¦

Raley had his suspension lowered from 3 game to 2, Astros will play the next two games with 25

All joking aside about Raley, fuck those umps in Seattle for that ejection.

There are downstream consequences to those decisions.

Couldnā€™t have said it better myself.

I donā€™t know who the hell Wilson, J. is but apparently heā€™s starting at third base today.

According to McTaggart (via Baker), Bregman drove to Houston today and could be activated on Tuesday.

Waived by the Aā€™s, claimed by the Stros to replace Robel, so he must be good.

Glad heā€™s getting a chance.

Pffft! Heā€™s no Josh Reddick.

I hope we checked his statcast.

Typical stubborn idiocy. I need to ignore you as most everyone else does.

Here comes the JimR posting police telling people what to do again.

Maybe I should put you on ignore.

Please do ignore me, but I am not the only person here who laughs at you. I am not criticizing the fact that you post; post all you want, as I sure sure you will. I am saying the substance of these recent posts is dumbass stupidity.

Not a surprise you cannot tell the difference. No doubt a lot of what people say goes over your head.

Why do you insist on trying to insult people? I posted that Reddick would be a good backup outfielder for the rest of this season. My opinion is heā€™s still a better fielder than Tucker. That opinion is different than yours and some others here. Thatā€™s fine. I havenā€™t called you one name even though you keep doing that to me. You insist on bossing people around and insult people who have a different opinion than you. Look at your comment in the game zone last night telling someone not to post something. What you and I are arguing about is stupid. So drop the name calling.

Calling the Reddick posts stupid is not the same as calling you stupid, but I admit one may flow from the other. I also am not surprised you cannot tell the difference.

I will put you on ignore so you will not have to be bothered by me. You should ignore me also.

Done. You are ignored.

What is stupid is your petty name calling when you donā€™t agree with what someone posts or someone doesnā€™t agree with what you think. Iā€™ve watched it for over 20 years. Consider it done. Iā€™ll be happy to put you on ignore.

Just wanted to share the off-field Stanek look.
