They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

Nice to miss Verlander. Guy is a freak. absolutely great, but there are questions about whether he has been cheating during the last few years. has to be said. Do we have a chance to win the series. Hell yeah, we do !!

I hope not. Love him… a throwback. generational pitcher...no doubt...amazing pitcher. his numbers when he got to Houston changed pretty dramatically from the end at Detroit. It is Houston. Cole....Morton....you get the drift. LOL.

i need me some Great Whitlock tonight. please make it happen. I do not think Whitlock will be the issue. I worry about only a 5 inning outing from Whitlock with a tie game or small lead.... I think Houston will feast on our pen. We need early leads in this series and 6+ inning outings

Whitlock has spoiled me faster than any pitcher in a long time. He hits a guy, gives up a squib, and I think “not his best” — then mows. My expectations have reached ridiculous heights. Need to get a bit realistic.

Why do they have to bring world politics to the NESN broadcast? The guy is basically advocating for WW3.

Julio Lugo! I’m shocked he was not great to play first base for.

early on in my MLB subscription, i can report. The lack of offense is infuriating. That's coming from a guy who likes to watch good pitching.

Should I be happy that Trev Story popped out to 1B rather than K?

I think we can cut him some slack. He was calling for removing Putin from power. How do you think that happens? I'm not going to cut anyone slack for advocating a world war.

I’m gonna suggest in a non moderator-ish way that we all restrain whatever urge we have to share opinions about Poland, Russia, Ukraine, etc.

Maybe MLB should just start phantom runners on 2nd in the 1st inning.
