Before we get to today’s regularly scheduled GameThread, I’m doing a little commercial for my MS Bike Ride. I’ve been doing this ride for several years, we have friends with MS, and it isn’t something you want to have to happen to you. And, without a goal, I won’t do anything to keep this aging body in shape. If you have a few dollars you want to donate to a good cause, here is a link. I’m sure Bet 369 will have a prop bet on whether I finish or not.

Game three of three in Houston.

José Berríos tries to build on his last start, where he allowed just 1 run in 5 innings. Maybe 6 innings?

Luis Garcia has a 7.71 ERA in three starts. His last start wasn’t a good one, 5 innings and 5 earned.

Send me a note if you want to volunteer to hit cleanup for us and do the GameThreads.

We are glad you are here and hope you feel welcome. As a reminder, we have rules. Mostly it’s “Don’t be terrible.” If a moderator asks you to stop doing something, please stop. If you want to discuss the rules, don’t do it in the thread. Email Tom instead. He would love to see an email not offering him money to promote a sports betting site. We also have a BBB Glossary full of GameThread lingo you can find here.
