I hope Peter Angelos is looking at this Astros lineup/staff and feeling bad about not spending on international free agents for a generation.

Fortunately for the O’s, that should be a thing of the past.

Would all-time postseason batting average be better, especially for the Astros hitters?

You're making this harder than it has to be

Another reminder: Charlie Morton, when he sucked way back when, just decided to go and copy verbatim Roy Halladay’s delivery.  And now he’s pitching game one in the WS.  RIP Doc, I miss you.

Always crib from the greats!

Has anyone ever signed Morton to a FA deal and regretted it after? Guy always seems to deliver
AvatarAlex Sonty

Morton's old game is gonna take him into his 40s if he wants.

Totally. It looks like facial hair..... 80s, I got Nolan.

Probably one of the best deliveries to copy. I remember coaches teaching me to copy Halladay too

I sucked because I stole Terry Leach's delivery instead.

I remember Randy Myers as just a premier leverage pitcher. Am I wrong?

Is Lance Berkman the most underrated player ever? I always look up his stats and am very surprised how great he was
AvatarDavid Laurila
8:36
Berkman and “Indian Bob” Johnson are in the same conversation.

I pitched sidearm as a kid because I injured my shoulder sledding when I was 9 and I've had occasional slight shoulder pain like it feels like it's juuuuuust popping out since.
AvatarAlex Sonty
8:36
I think I got Kevin Brown as most underrated, personally
AvatarDan Szymborski

And it felt better to my arm.

Ran into my high school baseball coach as a (drunk) adult, and he compared my motion to Jesse Orosco's. Still not sure if it was a compliment.
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:37
Him as a drunk adult or you?
8:38
I also have a knee I injured crawling through a weird tunnel at St. Louis' city museum in 2011.

I’m finishing watching Succession, but will tune into the game after. Alex, I wasn’t aware you were at fangraphs. Hopefully it hasn’t been too long and I’ve just been oblivious. You got any weird stuff outside of baseball you’re into like Dan and a lot of the other fangraphs staff (I did a Twitter look and saw you do NFL and have political science expertise. Good stuff)? Things you wouldn’t mind the occasional off topic chat question about maybe? Welcome too, if you do happen to be relatively new.

Thanks, Don. I wrote DFS articles all season. Baseball and football are business for me; NBA, too. For fun, I play guitar and go bowling with friends a couple times a month. I also love gory movies.

A friend had the reception for his wedding rehearsal there. I figured if I ignored it, it would go away, 10 years later, my knee still pops loudly every time I bend it after it was straight for awhile.

If you could have one player on either one of these rosters for the next five years who would it be?
