[Official] Astros @ Mariners

Awful Hinch, why you did not pinch hit for Castro, NO IDEA!!!!!!!!

 

Would have loved to see Duffy or Tucker or even Stassi

 

Seriously? Defense is a part of the game as well.

 

Jeez, you have to take the run though... Castro can be the greatest defensive catcher in the world, and a HR by Seattle will still tie the game.

 

come on Jake!

give me a single

 

Hinch really isn't going to pull Sipp for Oliver Perez is he? I might riot.

 

I mean, in theory there was a chance Castro could get the run in..

Yes, a HR can tie the game. But a walk or single are more likely than a HR, and Conger behind the plate can turn that into a HR more easily

 

Apparently his body shut down after catching 10 games in a row, or whatever it was.

 

I know everyone else has already said it....but man Castro is terrible offensively....quite the struggle for him at the plate.

 

Naw you need him back there. It's fine for hunch to have faith that Castro could at the very least make contact.

 

Okay Tuve.... get clutch.

 

C'mon Altuve ! Pleeeeaaaasseeee !!!!!!

 

I think I'd run Marisnick here to cause some havoc on the base paths.

 

I wouldn't give Altuve anything to hit.

 

A double would be amazing here.

 

Have you seen his overall numbers since coming back? Not to mention he hasn't come close to even making contact tonight.

But this is also in theory... far more theory since you presume there will be heavy traffic on the base paths with baserunners even looking to steal.

 

Poor fella.

 

Of course...NO WALK OFFS.

 

Well it's all on Luke now

 

Damn these guys are awful with RISP.
