I tolerate Buck acting like a pr*ck most of the time, but lately I haven't had the patience. The shtick has gotten old.
I don't know about you but I was watching the Rockets game at the time. Either way it's all good. Nice win.
I stayed out of that entire argument until I went back and looked, then I made one single observation that wasn't directed at any individual and frankly wasn't prickish in the least. Sorry I offended you.
Some posters on here, including yourself, feel the need to "police" the board when it would be better if you just ignore the "incriminating" post when you disagree. The frequent complaining in this manner gets really annoying, especially when the original post wasn't even that bad.
Not sure this is evidence-based or not but I'm much less worried about a soft tosser like Keuchel going longer than a guy like McCullers tossing 120 pitches.
Can't lie, Stros look like some juggernauts. Keuchel and McCullers stay mostly healthy and a decent amount of injuries to others and we look '98 good. We'll see if they both f*** up.
No, they post every waking thought. They just wait until after the fact so they can always be right. If Keuchel didn't give up the HR, no one would have complained about the apparently horrible decision that is going to make Keuchel's arm fall off. Backseat managing after the fact is annoying as all hell.
Some of y'all can actually say y'all don't have a problem with hinch leaving his pitchers in there too long? We can sans this game, but damn if anybody doesn't think he doesnt give too much slack to all of the pitchers.
Buck I don't have any problem with your comment. Let me ask you this however. If Keuchel had blown that lead in the 9th would the majority of people on here be blasting Hinch for keeping him in there (especially since they had Monday off and a well rested pen)? Either way I'm glad they got the win. What bobrek said about Keuchel's recent comments about wanting to go deeper in the game explains Hinch's thinking. I guess he wanted to give his ace a little more rope. Again glad it worked out. If I'm Hinch he's done after the 8th since it's only the 20th gm of the season. Certainly respect Hinch's line of thinking, and anybody on here that would have left him in as well. 7-2 on the road!!!
I should say, Keuchel was likely at the end of his rope. No way he should have been pulled at the start of the inning. A case can be made for pulling him when the tying run came to the plate, but that is not what I'm seeing people complain about (apologize if missed a post). Pitch count was not too high for Keuchel.
