This x 100. A lot of posters hoot and holler about Hinch not wearing his emotions on his sleeve. I don't really care about that. Bochy has won 3 titles while maintaining that same calm demeanor (as have other managers). As long as our players legitimately play their hearts out for the guy, I have no issues with him. Some of his calls are certainly questionable, but some of those decisions are what make our players fight so hard for him.
Springer's base running and fielding abilities are as important if not more important than what he brings at the plate. He has awesome instincts.
Well, fun couple of innings! :grin: Keep it going Stros! The team has that swagger again, all smiles.
good news is sipp has been a bit better now than he was in april,may,june, july and august. even better news, if he gives up the homer,we will still have the lead.

Why would we bring in Sipp? He has proven time and time again that he cant be trusted in this situation.
"First pitch from Tony Sipp is blasted off the wall in CF..." He was so good last year, what happened to that guy? I want to go get sushi but I am not comfortable enough to leave the house yet.
