    Oh well. KC is the better team but the Astros and their manager let them off the hook this series.

    Of course, Keuchel.

    Keuchel pitching COULD NOT be less necessary.

    No. I wasn't expecting them to reach the playoffs honestly. But, when they got there you get your hopes up. I know once they made it we were playing with house money. Now. Rockets. Yea. I expect something from them this year. The window is now.

    Although I said earlier I was for keeping Gomez and Jake out there and moving Rasmus to DH.

    This game is over anyway. Why risk Keuchel now.

    Why did Hinch even put Keuchel in? Neshek looked fine. Harris and Gregerson are both available.

    The idea is to use Keuchel in a demoralizing situation, but here, the royals feel no pressure.

    Why is Dallas in the game....

    The time you'd actually need him is if this game went into extra's or got to the bottom of the 9th....

    I don't understand it, but whatever.

    That is HInch been Hinch, of course he was going to make a bad move there. So there is a miracle, we win the game and who will start game 1 in Toronto? Yes, Kazmir, thanks Hinch

    I don't know why Keuchel is in either to protect a lead maybe but in this situation?

    You just don't know baseball. The pen management and decision making my the Astros manager has been sterling!

    Why? Rasmus can play a competent LF/CF.

    Marisnick's defense wasn't the missing piece of this series... hell, I thought there were balls in game 2 that he grossly mis-played.

    Exactly. Keuchel should have only been in this game if the team had a lead. No pressure now. They are free strokin, as Calvin Murphy would say.
