Because he has to be saved as a possible tandem starter for our next two starting pitchers, who can barely go 5.
Frustrating series. For this team to still have 10 wins at this point with the inconsistent offense shows how dominant the pitching has been.
They didn’t have a regular season bullpen issue last year. They added two established bullpen pitchers this off-season, along with adding McHugh.
In both games, houston could have walked it off having risp with the players you want at the plate.. it happens. just an awful feeling when it happens against these mofos wearing a "texas" jersey.
At least the Astros didn't get all giddy after the World Series and extend Keuchel and/or Marwin Gonzalez.
I said we went into last OFFSEASON with a bullpen issue, by the time the WS was over our bullpen was in shambles. As far as your point on who they have added....is it working??
By that token, every single playoff team’s bullpen was in shambles and they all should have performed upheavals. They’ve attempted to shore up the depth in the bullpen with the additions. Let’s give them more than a month to see if it actually works.
