Yup. And let's be honest. No Houston sports teams are anywhere close to winning a championship. Not even close
Damn. Crazy 9th inning. Almost stole one... Lol..did that just happen? ? Another 2 out collapse... Didn't deserve this one any ways... Whelp... Can we go back to pre all star break?
Yeah, maybe the guy they traded 5 guys for? Or <strike>Chapman, Melancon</strike>, Davis(going for MRI), Miller, so on and so forth.
Closers blow saves. It happens...but it's not like Astros management believes Harris is some playoff caliber closer. Well, at least, you hope they don't think that, and just put spin on by the public. I mean, the Nationals' GM has been praising Paps all year and even on Friday morning on local DC radio, and they just traded for an stud closer today. It looks like the Astros aren't going for broke this year trying to win the World Series. If it happens, great, but they're not ready yet, and so they're not going to trade assets for studs in those playoff necessary positions.
The lack of hustle by Harris more than anything else will cause Hinch to move Giles to the closer role for at least a game.
Who thought missing a Valbuena or Marwin would hurt so much? Hopefully these games show team needs some help, to include an extra bat. At this point I'm not betting on Gurriel to save the day.
In football? I love Houston sports and was raised here. I went to OU for college. We are going to destroy UH week 1.
Move Harris back to his old set-up role. He doesn't have the chops to be a closer. Give Giles a shot at closer.
Ughhhhh this is such a tough loss ! I'm so tired of Harriss blowing saves I just knew he was going to do this. I wish the Stros had a lights out closer
