    Will is a good reliever, as good a year as any of them. Just a bad pitch after falling behind. They did a good job hitting the ball out of the ballpark. Opportunistic homers tonight.

    Beltre had good success against lefties, specifically Perez. Easy to talk about what-ifs after the outcome. We've seen Harris get big outs and he'll continue to get big outs. He made a bad pitch.

    (Lowrie) Shin on one side of his leg and HBP on foot. He came to us and didn't seem like he could finish. X-rays negative, day-to-day.

    Kaz did a good job, a chance for us to hang in there. Big blow was Moreland homer. He held them in check.

    He is an embarrassment of a journalist.

    Go back and re-read those twits...he throws out a bunch of random minutiae, but actually says nothing.

    That's going "full commando" on them? Just pointing out what seemingly every other person is.

    It's getting real. Let's see what we are made of.

    If you didn't understand any of that, you're either hating or have lost too many brain cells.

    Yeah... if he went "full commando" it is only because Hinch gave him ample ammunition. Not a huge Drelich fan but sometimes the obvious needs to be stated.

    Before today, he had given up 1 run over his last 12 outings. He had an ERA of 1.59 in August and 1.69 in September.

    Beyond that, Harris is not just good against lefties, he's incredible against them. Far better than Sipp - or anyone else in the bullpen. And that's true not just this year but for his whole career.

    Ehh... Hinch I believe Beltre is 2 for 17 in his career against Perez.

    Am I crazy for thinking that at this point they may as well throw a Carter desperation Hail Mary and pray that he goes on a miracle homer heater of all heaters for 3 weeks?

    They are running out of players anyway. May be forced into it.

    No, he should be saved to pinch hit in the 9th.

    Like I said earlier, I skipped several pages and jumped to the last one. I could not figure out why you/they/them were talking about Kubiak and the Texans in a Stros thread. Pardon my confusion, dumbass.

    CFs who have met Buck in real life: Is he normally this brusque in person? I'm only wondering.

    Either that, or he's drunj

    People don't care about facts or knowledge beforehand, it's more important to wait until a decision doesn't work and then criticize it.

    The Astros will still have a 1 1/2 lead on these a-holes to the north after this 4 game set.

    Well, the page you responded to never mentioned the word "Texans". So obviously, you know a little something about who Kubiak is.

    And, unless you've lost too many brain cells, you would remember Hinch has been highly questioned in this thread as well as others in this forum.

    So, reasonable guessing would suggest that Kubiak might have been a subpar coach/manager.

    You already knew that though, you were just hating.

    OR.... maybe you're the dumbass.


    Just be happy Moses gave your little b-made self the time of day.

    I don't know what that sentence means, but you're so cute when you get angry.

    A split would be GREAT.
