Hinch got cocky yesterday and didn't care about getting a win. The rest of the team is following suit tonight.
Well, that's the important part. The case TK and Blum are making is highlighting Bregman's versatility in the field in addition to his offensive numbers.
I've had that complaint for years about Astros (and Rockets) teams spanning generations of teams. It's infuriating to see a team play like they're guaranteed to win or it'll all work out or this one isn't that important or whatever. And, yet, it always comes down to a few points or runs or a few games that would've already been in the bag if they'd played with the intensity of urgency when things weren't yet urgent.
Yesterday's lineup produced the most hits in a game on the road trip, perhaps he should have gotten cocky again. Regular starters have been subpar on the trip.
At least our pitching has been a bright spot so far in this series. Even Miley outperformed his recent self (only to be way outperformed by Urquidy tonight), and the bullpen has been lights out.
I think the point is he got cocky over about 4 or 5 innings where 3 times the bases were loaded and didn't bring in a run with Altuve and Yuli on the bench.
