Isaac Paredes

Si ya tú hablabas, mencioné el pitcheo, pero como tú dices, este es un equipo veterano, con mucha experiencia.

Jordan Álvarez, José Altuve, el mismo caso de un Isaac Paredes, un Christian Walker, todos jugadores con experiencia de playoffs y Se-- eh, Jeremy Peña también, una de las piezas claves.

Y se supone que Carlos Correa podría estar regresando al roster aquí.

O sea que cuidado con los Astros, que no es que han jugado un béisbol extraordinario en la serie regular, porque todos están tres por, por encima de quinientos, pero que pienso que es un equipo capaz de darle una buena serie a cualquier oponente.

Bryce Harper, nil.

Isaac Paredes, one.

Puts you 2-0 up.

Ezequiel Duran and Evan Carter, blanked.

Everything is blood red.

The ex-woe by the woe, about 38 bombs.

I'll give Isaac Paredes a chance.

I'll give Jaina Diaz a chance.

So I need to go with the opposite way.

Total bases, I'm going with, let's go with Isaac Paredes.

Yes, Lunte.

He's been really good, man.

I think Wheeler, you know, contact at the top of that lineup first time through.

He can get us a double right off the bat.

So let's go with Isaac Paredes.

Firstly, I cannot believe you didn't take your dad and your man.

Then a couple of one-out singles to Peña and Alvarez.

And then RBI double to Isaac Paredes that made it 2-0.

And then Altuve hit a sack fly that made it 3-0.

No major damage, no major mistakes, but it did feel like at that point Merrill was maybe starting to get a little run down, maybe tired, maybe it was looking like perhaps he was going to have a shorter night than we anticipated or would like to see.

So it just feels like to me, pitchers aren't really throwing him strikes for him to hit homers right now.

Jose Altuve, Cam Smith, and Isaac Paredes are other Houston hitters above a 700 OPS in that stretch.

And they're a team that can take advantage of the short port.

Like Isaac Paredes, I think he hits all his homers to left field.

Their pitching has been much better as of late.

Houston's pitching since August 1st, 424 ERA 18th, 23.1% K rate.
