Really? You think my suggestion of moving him down in the lineup is an over reaction? Again, I look at it as an adjustment to a player that has been struggling during the whole post season. Springer's had some really bad at bats and his team is down 0-1. I agree it was Kershaw last night and that is a different level. However, if I'm AJ Hinch I'm really thinking hard about what I can do to get this offense jump started in some way. Springer isn;t the only one struggling (although he is batting leadoff) and I think they were fortunate to walk away with a game 5 (home filed win) against the Yankees. Adjustments are needed against the Dodgers. Whether or not that is Springer moving down in the lineup or not, I'm not sure. However it is worthy of consideration to get the Astros competive. JMO.
Fenway - You’re good with me, brother. Remember, you picked the Dodgers.
My post was mostly in reference to media and a coworker (Astros fan) who thinks that the world ended last night.
If it means anything, I thought that he should have gone Bregman, Altuve or vice versa in the one-two holes in game seven.
Lots of media pundits think that tonight is a must-win for the Astros but I don’t think so. Obviously, I could be wrong but this postseason has been about the unexpected.
This is all for entertainment purposes only...at least for me it is.
My official pick is Astros in six. :-)
