    cole will go to the highest bidder. It doesn’t matter what team that is.

    Agree. That was on Hinch. If you are going to use him that way then you try it out during the season... a lot. Get him used to it. Don't ask guys to do things they haven't done before unless you are desperate. Keep it simple.

    And I really hope Harris balls out and gets paid, and I don't say that just because he's an Astros.

    He has done spectacular regular season work throughout our whole run if success. Yet the ghost of Game 4 has been looming over his entire time here.

    Don't hate on Osuna too much. He didn't give up the big hit and they were laying off some pretty tough pitches. I'd like to see smooth innings, but I give a lot of credit to Tampa Bay hitters that inning... Osuna also didn't have his best fastball command so that played into it too.

    Exactly. He can mostly be an observer in these playoffs and that will still have a positive effect going forward.

    I love how AJ is letting his horses go. Some of these managers have way to fast of hooks this postseason. The Kuechel game 1 especiallyz

    If my memory served me right he tried it earlier in the year and it didn’t work out well then.

    It’s so refreshing seeing our stars respond *this* well under the brightest lights.

    that Bregman extension is looking like a mighty fine deal

    Yes. Chirino is Verlanders. Not a big fan of Maldonado myself. Gives up a lot of errors.

    We're underpaying him now. It's like the previous Altuve contract

    What was wrong with Maldonado tonight? Two big hits and a big caught stealing.

    Probably. Somehow still alive after Game 5.

    Wanna bet on if there's a save situation on Monday and who pitches it?

    Hoping it's not a save situation. Hope the Astros are up a ton of runs if Hinch insist on putting him in.
