    If the Astros lose this series, I'm all for firing Hinch. There is no way we should lose this series. The Yankees are an inferior team in terms of talent.

    Hire Biggio. The team could benefit from his leadership. Managing experience is overrated. I honestly feel that I could do a better job of managing a game than Hinch.

    Yes, I have defended Hinch plenty of times throughout the season. I believe that he has been a very good manager throughout most of the season but has fallen off along with the team these past 3 games. I absolutely agree that hinch and the team has crapped the bed royally in bronxville

    That doesn't make mean any more or less of a true astros fan than other posters here.

    What would firing Hinch do? He can’t make em hit.

    Never questioned your fandom, just your sanity. Hinch is hot garbage and has been ever since he was putting out Oliver ****ing Perez in key situations. Dude can't manage his pitching staff.

    Didn't realize Hinch was the reason why none of our guys can hit the ball

    That's fine, but I tend to eat diarrhea foods after a loss.

    that's completely fair.

    I totally agree with yall about hinch losing it mentally these past 3 games. He killed Devo, it seems.

    We will see what happens tomorrow. these past 3 games have been a team effort in my eyes.

    Says the guy too scared to answer a simple question an hour ago.

    Maggots like you are partly the reason local sports sucks so much. Whatever they give you, you accept blindly like a nutless subordinate.

    He's absolutely not. Doesn't excuse him from almost single handedly blowing game 4.

    Can the damn Rockets game start already? I stayed up half the night watching the w****-riors wack off celebration ceremony, but at least we got the W.

    Another late start and I haven't slept in days.

    I don't think Hinch needs to be fired no matter what happened. We worked hard to get home-field advantage. We just need to take advantage of it. The Yankees win will just make it more legendary. Let's go 'stros.

    Can’t pull the “young team” card because Yankees have young inexperienced players too. Hell, our vets have lead the way in ******** the bed.

    Can we fire Hudgens already? Our overrated regular season offense has not translated to postseason success. The regular season stats mean nothing if you don't produce.... It's also his job to fix guys like Springer who swings for the fences every freakin' time....

    I think I'm buying a ticket on stub hub to be at game 6 friday.

    Houston needs to be rocking.

    I totally empathize, understand, and agree with all the freaking out posters in this thread but game 6 in minute maid park ABSOLUTELY can not have that kind of atmosphere.

    We will be ready to cheer again this friday.

    Time for us to take a day off, breath, and relax after this 3 day bronxville breakdown.
