    I'd just like to say that pinch running for Alvarez with 2 outs is dumb

    I doubt Yordan misses both those 2 opportunities Hinch robbed with his stupid decision. Probably would have won the game.

    Knew it....very poor game from the offense. Pitching good this time until you bring in Round Rock Paul Bunyan with the game on the line. Great managing A.J. pulling Yordan in the 8th.

    Weak time for this team to all of a sudden go on a losing streak. Guess they will be okay with the 2nd seed

    2 for 10 with RISP just isn't good enough. Goodnight.

    When I look at this team I just see a weak arse bullpen. There’s not one player that is lights out in the bullpen. How do you win it all with this bullpen?

    Hinch is such a moron. He’ll manage tomorrow’s game just like today. He’s been doing this all year.

    Tomorrow they’ll score but their pitching will give up a lot.

    You realize “moron” hinch has managed this team to the 3rd best record in baseball, right? Or did you just start watching them this week?

    Ya but this team is too talented to have only the third best record in baseball.

    Maybe baseball gods are punishing the Stros for getting Greinke. Record since the trade has been pretty awful.

    We’re not that good on the road. It’s concerning especially if we don’t secure HFA. But, the Astros are in a bit of a funk right now. Better to go through this now than in the playoffs. Let us hope this isn’t an indicator of how we are going to perform when the pressure is really on. The good news is all these losses were tough losses and we’ve been in these games pretty much to the end.
