To me this makes sense:

Game 1 Max (So that he can hit in game 5)

game 2 Charlie (experience on the road AND in that building)

game 3 Ian (home protection)

game 4 bullpen (Ynoa/Smyly/Chavez cover the first six innings)

game 5 Max (hitting at home)

game 6 Charlie (in Houston again)

game 7 Ian (by default. Give the youngster a chance at immortality, OR an all hands on deck bullpen should he falter early)

 

 

If Fried is ready for game 1, that’d be fine by me.  One thing is clear, Morton doesn’t want to hit.

Any changes to the roster? I’m thinking they go 13 pitchers, 13 hitters. As compared to the NLCS of 14 hitters and 12 pitchers. Camargo is the hitter not kept and RichRod is added for RP

Bench becomes a little less important. You'll have the DH in Houston. So I could see Camargo dropped in favor of a pitcher. Rodriguez was pitching so bad though, I don't know if I trust him

Doesn't everything just go through Fanatics? I ordered some stuff last night and it may not even ship till the 3rd WTH

Yeah thats every site you can order licensed gear through. It says November 3rd is possible shipping date. I checked most of them to see if it was different

Just a heads up guys, I made a thread in TATF for the World Series if you would like to use it. Will probably have a little traffic. That being said, if y’all want to stay hidden in your own hideout down here, I feel you. 

I see you aren't aware of our superstions here.

I don’t follow baseball as closely as the NFL. How well do we match up against Houston? I know enough that if we beat LA we should realistically have a chance but I also know Houston takes after the Patriots with their underhanded BS…. 

Houston has a fantastic lineup but less pitching than LAD. The Braves have had the best pitching staff sin ever the playoffs started and Houston has 2 SP who were no good until Game 5 and 6.

It'll be a great series with some high scoring games for sure.

Houston doesn't have anywhere near the pitchers LA has. They have a very strong lineup though. Most of their roster has already been to and won the World Series so they have the experience. They have Dusty Baker at manager, hes very similar to Snitker. He's old school but mixes in the analytics. Both Snit and Dusty are two of the most respected managers in the league. Dusty is no Dave Roberts, he won't screw up their pitchers with early hooks and using SP in relief. What we don't know is the status of Lance McCullers. He's the Houston ace and he missed the ALCS with injury. He's currently questionable to return for the World Series.
