    Hinch never blames his players ! His post game interview is the same ole same ole ‘ “It happens” “bad night” clap clap clap clap clap ! I love this team and they spoil us but they aren’t playing well right now and the playoffs are right around the corner.

    No Brantley and no Correa.

    When the Astros are 100% healthy, their line up just grinds pitchers up.. it isn’t a matter of if but when... with one baby out, the offense is still top 5.... once 2 bats are out, forget about it... we are ****.

    First off, good chance someone runs for Chirinos.
    Second, Brantley is up next.

    I assume every single manager in the history of baseball will take Verlander's start tonight. I'll take a 9 inning 2 hit, 2 solo home run game 162 games a year.

    Chirinos should get chewed out by Hinch for not being a team player on that play to end the game

    Actually, everyone except Verlander should get chewed out. Disgraceful

    Don’t be fooled. While he isn’t a big screamer and is a generally nice guy... he has words in private with his players at times.

    And I’m not trying to be anti Hinch he’s a great manager I guess I just never see anything but that calm demeanor that he shows during games !

    It's nearly impossible for me to criticize A.J., since he's the best manager in Astros history, but man, I do sometimes miss when Dierker would just call it like it is in his post-game interviews. If the team sucked, he said it.

    Maybe Hinch needs to get ejected or something to lit a fire under this team. Team is complacent right now and needs to show the hunger/will to win the WS
