    Yeah, I was hoping Fiers would come in since Sipp has been used every game and Fiers has been just sitting there.

    I would let the beard pitch.

    He isn't a violent thrower.

    Ask him for 5 innings.

    Yeah.... and who didn't pitch Fiers in game 2 or 4?

    That would be the manager.... so he shoulders a lot of the blame.

    Because Fiers has had multiple relief appearances correct? Wait, he's had one, and how did that go? 6 runs?

    The fact of the matter is we brought in two pitchers who before the post season started had an ERA below 2. Harris didn't get the job done, Sipp had horrible luck with the ground out should have been double play.

    Harris should have gotten it done, didn't. Gomez should have been able to get to that ball in center, and Correa missed a chance to turn a DP and get us out of the inning.

    I blame Hinch as much as the next guy, but at some point, you can point a finger at the players....it's ok to do that...

    Being a Houston sports fan is brutal. Constant kicks in the stomach. SIX OUTS MAN. SIX OUTS from ALCS. Who can't CRAP six outs?
