Yesterday was the best day of the year. Today might just be the worst day of the year.
Houston 1, Arlington 0
I know Liriano pitched decently yesterday, but still...I dunno about this move.
I would have preferred that Hinch bench Reddick yesterday. I do not think Reddick should be benched for game 7. Reddick is a very good hitter. I...
Best playoff baseball game I've ever seen. Ever. Who cares if it took more than 5 hours.
McHugh looks rusty due to not having pitched in a long time, he just needs to settle down.
Yep, this loss is primarily due to questionable, overly conservative playcalling, on the Texans drive with about 2 minutes remaining. All he had...
- I put this loss about 90% on Ken Giles. Yes, Musgrove gave up the big homer to blow the game open...but it was Giles that put Musgrove into that...
I'm starting to think that MLB may suspend Gurriel one game for this, due to precedence from other players (Pillar, Escobar) for making...
I expect that Gurriel will at least be fined by MLB.
I don't have a problem with what Keuchel said. Total non-issue IMO.
I have completely lost faith in Giles. Regardless of the outcome of this game and series...the Astros need an upgrade at closer.
I tend to agree with OP. It did look to me like most of the Astro players, and perhaps even Hinch, seemed a bit rattled by the New York playoff...
Yesterday's loss didn't bother me. Today's game, if we don't come back to win, will bother me a LOT more. I think the biggest mistake was Hinch...
Devo has been mediocre this entire postseason...and honestly he's been just so-so since the All-Star break.
The only thing that annoys me is Maybin's poor effort in failing to catch that fly ball. It could very well still be 3-0 instead of 8-0 if he had...
Verlander's performance today was one of the best postseason pitching performances I've ever seen by an Astro. Just dominated a good Yankees...
Damnit, Hinch.
Well, whatever. Enjoy your win, Red Sox fans. I wasn't really expecting a sweep anyway. I feel good about the Astros' chances to put Boston away...
I think Hinch would have been better off going to someone like Musgrove instead of Liriano. Or even leaving Peacock in a bit longer, despite...
