    WTF is our pitchings f***ing problem?!?! Every f***ing time we get back into the game our ******* clown car of a pitching staff immediately gives it up. For the love of god just do your ******* job.

    Was there seriously nobody else in the bullpen? Dude's given up 5 runs in his last 4 appearances, and you put him in a high leverage situation like this against the meat of the team's lineup. I usually don't question Hinch, but I'm scratching my head at this decision...

    Well let's hope Correa can get three homeruns.

    You don’t put Devo in unless you’re up a few runs.

    Devo was an awful choice right there. Such a horrendous move.

    Our bullpen coach who is masquerading as a pitching coach sucks.

    Doubt there's been 5 games in history with teammates for both squads going multi-HR.

    Who do we put in though? I guess Pressley but the dude has been giving up homers recently also. Smith maybe I guess?

    @CheezeyBoy22 are you up the 1st base line with a girl wearing a glittery Astros cap?

    I'm not saying there are a lot of good choices in there based on how the bullpen's pitched as of late, but I've got to think there was someone in there I'd trust not to give up a run over Devo.

    Biagini demoted, Smith (eta: and Pressly) pitched 2 games in a row, McHugh went 2.1 yesterday...Harris was really the only other option there.

    Devo let the team down tonight. **** loss. In his defense, he sucks far too much to be out there in that situation. Bad move hinch. Absolute trash

    Pretty much no good choices in the pen right now but I thought we’d see Harris or Smith before Devo
