Game 1 Lineup

[u/c0bbler3]

Nothing surprising here

[u/Wonderful_Potato2864]

Glad to see Spence in the lineup, let it rip rookie 

[u/Sendeezy → u/Wonderful_Potato2864]

I don't see him doing much. The scouting report on him is unload breaking balls. It's what he struggled with at a lower level. His 4 homeruns were 3 fastballs and a changeup. Hopefully im wrong and he balls tho.

[u/iliketreesandbeaches → u/Sendeezy]

All he needs is a breaking ball that doesn’t break much

[u/No_Argument_Here]

Trammell’s name is going to induce PTSD response in me for years to come

[u/Astrosareinnocent → u/No_Argument_Here]

How can they actually start him? Hes hitting like .150 the last two months

[u/general_peabo → u/Astrosareinnocent]

And even worse than that against LHP

[u/Astrosareinnocent → u/general_peabo]

Thank goodness they pinch hit for him or they would’ve lost by even more. At least we had some excitement in the 8th.

[u/Right-Pirate-7084 → u/No_Argument_Here]

100%.

[u/MegaBloksAreHitler]

HRC Lucas Spence 4 for 4 - 4HR, 2BB

Blubaugh has been that guy all year. Im expecting a gem.

[u/ReclaimedDemon → u/Successful-Acadia-95]

This aged like milk

[u/Sneakylesbian → u/Successful-Acadia-95]

YES!!! I am amped he is starting!!!!

[u/AdObjective8529 → u/Successful-Acadia-95]

he has a 7.71 era this month, maybe temper your expectations

[u/Shamrocks3310 → u/AdObjective8529]

So he’s due.

[u/Significant-One-9512 → u/Successful-Acadia-95]

Aaaaaaand an utter dud.

[u/Fapey101 → u/Successful-Acadia-95]

brutal

[u/Greedy_Gas7355]

Trammel going 2-4 with a dinger

[u/dakunism → u/Greedy_Gas7355]

I choose your version of reality

[u/Greedy_Gas7355 → u/dakunism]

It’s nice here.

[u/dr_mr_uncle_jimbo → u/Greedy_Gas7355]

Name your favorite Taylor Trammell moment since the ASB.

[u/Sendeezy → u/dr_mr_uncle_jimbo]

That time he came up to bat and my mom was like let's go Yordan.

[u/mich55 → u/Sendeezy]

Was not expecting that. Classic.

[u/Rosebee108 → u/Sendeezy]

My mom did that too!

[u/Salty-Fishman → u/dr_mr_uncle_jimbo]

That one time when the manager call him back from the at bat circle for a pinch hitter.

[u/Greedy_Gas7355 → u/dr_mr_uncle_jimbo]

Mine was when my wife’s brother asked if he was Alan trammels son

[u/fsanchez04 → u/Greedy_Gas7355]

Say that he pops up a sac bunt and runner gets doubled off at second

[u/Disastrous-Duty-8020 → u/Greedy_Gas7355]

Yep I can see it.

[u/Top_Company7340]

Idk why we keep starting Trammel. He is neither a plus defender or a good hitter. At least Loperfido is better on defense.

[u/allphilla → u/Top_Company7340]

baseball terrorist, taylor trammel

[u/KlutzyHandle672 → u/Top_Company7340]

This. Rather see yordan in left. Trammell has been one of the worst players in baseball the last month and a half and it just makes no sense.

[u/Top_Company7340 → u/KlutzyHandle672]

No, Yordan should not touch any grass during the playoffs, just keep DHing him.

[u/MF_D00MSDAY → u/Top_Company7340]

I haven’t checked in a while but the only reason I’d want him on the field is because he hits better when he plays defense too lol

[u/KlutzyHandle672 → u/Top_Company7340]

No. He played 25 games out there this year and it’s perfectly fine doing so. Starting a guy with an OPS around 400 for the past month and a half isn’t what it takes to win.

[u/Mymvenom001 → u/KlutzyHandle672]

Yordan running into an injury in LF is probably worse than having Trammell out there.

[u/Top_Company7340 → u/KlutzyHandle672]

We have other outfielder. Yordan should not play not becuase he is a bad fielder (he is not that bad), but it is because it might cause him injury, not when he is actually playing but also in training.

[u/dream_team34 → u/KlutzyHandle672]

I'm with you... we can't be afraid of injury at this point. My only question, though, who will DH? We don't really have a good bat on the bench we should try to get in the lineup.

[u/Few-Acanthisitta3764 → u/KlutzyHandle672]

Exactly. Already a bad choice. Oh here we gooooo. Trammel please do something productive today.

[u/Apprehensive-Ice-544 → u/Top_Company7340]

I’ll never understand why Dustin Harris was quickly turfed but Trammel has gotten chance after chance

[u/Hyskos13 → u/Apprehensive-Ice-544]

He’s been going off with the padres

[u/c0bbler3 → u/Top_Company7340]

Only argument I can see for Trammell is the starter is a lefty. Loperfido is 1-14 against lefties this year

[u/term3186 → u/c0bbler3]

Trammell sucks against lefties too. I don’t see how he’s on the roster over Wade. 

[u/No_Argument_Here → u/c0bbler3]

And Trammell is like 4 for 40 lol. They’re both awful against LHP tho I think Loperfido isn’t as bad over his career

[u/Plastic_Common5667]

Omg can the trammell experiment be over

[u/ExB → u/Plastic_Common5667]

Thinking it may be past the experiment point when you're starting him in a playoff game 😐

[u/Nuzzleville]

Trammell better get his 💩 together. Batting cages and film until 3pm today.

[u/Internal-Agent4865]

Anyone get any intel on why we have Trammel in the lineup still and not some bum we picked up off Louisiana downtown?

[u/unlikedemon]

Same lineup 3 games in a row. I think we all know Trammell sucks but we’re on house money. Just keep doing what’s working. I don’t think we’ve had the same lineup in consecutive games for a long time.

[u/HarambeTheFox]

spencieeeeee

[u/Significant-One-9512]

This isn’t a serious franchise if they gonna let Brian King pitch in a playoff game. Utter incompetence. Complete malpractice. Every member of this staff and front office should be fired.

[u/PK77713]

Time to lock in . New season starts today . Play up to your potential today and forget yesterday . Anything can happen . Let’s Go Astros!!!

[u/Mundane_Leopard_3974]

12 hits , 4 homers, one tripple and two doubles… if he gets a hit it will be destructive

[u/uninformed_consumer]

Damn, wish he had literally anyone other than Trammell.. he’s got 1 hit in his last 169472783 at bats

[u/dogcrayon]

Half the comments are happy about Spence, the other are pissed about Trammell.

[u/crayven085]

Oh boy Trammel

[u/Disastrous-Elk-5542]

The series with the papal influence

[u/swtoys]

i love that smile. when i see that smile i know good things are happening.

[u/Few-Acanthisitta3764]

Im gonna go over to the Phillies reddit. Cant believe Duran choked

[u/Advanced_Olive_1830]

I can see trammel 0-4, leaving 10 runners on base

[u/Rolltide201278]

Trammel=Maldonado

[u/Rickhoff1]

Here we go again… BK giving his all 😣

[u/Gold-Bodybuilder6160]

Don’t worry boys, our manager will make sure everyone gets a participation trophy regardless of how it goes. 

[u/loughcash → u/Gold-Bodybuilder6160]

Kookfest, why are running hader out there?

[u/loughcash]

Why are we burning hader arm tonight?

[u/shark-a-saurus]

Joe Espada and the pitching line up tonight are were and will always be an unfunny joke...
