    Hinch did f up there.

    As he did with letting Lowrie bat today.

    Gawd. His reliance on bad veterans is disgusting

    we just can't play close ball games and send out qualls/neshek/perez right now. those 3 should be last resort, even if the starting pitcher has pitched 150 pitches.

    Qualls has been such garbage but so have a lot of the other bullpen options. Qualls should have known it was OK to walk him there .. giving that up to that player is inexcusable

    He double switch to allow one of our worse relievers to face their number 3 and 4 hitter, Hinch is TERRIBLE

    Why was Lowrie playing?????? Dumb ****er

    Expect a lot of questionable plays against the Astros if we have to play in NY.

    add Hinch with the group you just mentioned.
    Actually, i do trust Perez against lefties (only lefties).

    I think Harris's wife had a baby. He may not be there.

    But Jesus Hinch. Why do you keep giving the ball to f***stick

    Whether Qualls should have been pitching (he shouldn't have) is irrelevant in that situation. There is no good reason to pitch to Goldschmidt in that situation. There is a base open and a .226 hitter on deck. Worst case you can play for a DP and avoid a big inning.

    Not giving up on this team. Still have two innings left, and Altuve is at least guaranteed an AB. Anything can happen if we keep it a 5-3 after this inning.

    They really need the home WC game where DK is 15-0

    That's already gone most likely regardless of this game.

    The division was gone when the Rangers went up 9-2

    It's home field we are after but this one is not over. Down 2 is not the end
