    I can't for the life of me understand your post (and to be fair, the one on the previous page from another poster who asked Hinch "wtf did you think was going to happen"). Hinch is an idiot for what? Putting in a good RP? I realize both of your answers are actually Keuchel + Devo pitch 5000 pitches per game. It's not an option though.

    Stop evaluating decisions based on outcomes. And stop being short-sighted. Gregerson faced 2 batters in his last game and gave up a walk and HR. Previous outing, walk, single, and out. Before that, he was between solid and great for 7 straight outings. And oh yeah, he's a good reliever.

    edit: I get that he sucked 2 games in a row. Be pissed about it, whatever. But constantly calling Hinch a moron in hindsight is ridiculous--especially when the decision had its merit if you assume that players aren't always perfect (i.e. Gregerson sucking for 2 batters last outing doesn't mean he's all of a sudden Rick Ankiel on the mound)

    18 baserunners.

    Our BA with men on is really taking it on the chin today.

    If you think Hinch makes good in game decisions then I guess you wouldn't understand my post. Still, it does not excuse your incredibly rude non baseball personal attack post.

    :somewhere in the katy little leagues:

    "Dad, I just hit a home run, a double and a triple."
    Tomstro: "Yeah but you didn't get that single for the cycle. No pizza for you!"

    It's all in good fun. Miserable game by altuve, hitting in that double play with bases loaded. And what is happening to luke. 8th inning is his magic inning. And Gomer now decides to play defense in the outfield..wtf?

    And he deserves every single shot for his rude, non baseball related insults he posts. You could be the bigger man or you can blindly follow what other idiots do.

    Anyway. Take your personal shots if you must. I will talk Astros. If we want to continue winning against the good teams we have to fix....

    1. Bottom end of rotation
    2. Situational hitting
    3. Gregerson and Sipp get better or get replaced.

    Also, we should get a lot smarter on the basepaths.

    I hear you, but it also has a lot to do with the board too. There are some that micro analyze every game/at bat and feel that that small of a sample size is indicative of how the future will go. We are 4-1 in the last 5 but today's game will be dwelt upon for the emost part out of context with the current situation. If the team wins tomorrow those guys will go away until the next bad outing.

    19-10 with series wins over every team in the division. A lot to be happy about around here.

    Hope you aren't referring to me. I post when i can. It's not every game and I have a lot of positive posts. So, hope you aren't referring to me.

    So you just argued against and for being the bigger man within the span of a sentence and a half?

    This has been the one of the best situational hitting teams in baseball this year, but maybe facts don't matter.

    Can you point out all the specific terrible decisions by Hinch today, and can you point out which ones you complained about *before* they didn't work out?

    Too much negativity in here fellas, especially considering we took 3 out of 4 against a division, in-state foe.

    If anything, I'll take the blame. I said I'd gladly take 3 out of 4. It's my fault for not aiming high enough. Please forgive me my clutchfans brethren.

    Some posters just happen to find time to post when the Astros are losing a game.

    P convenient.

    Let's both switch it up next series! I said sweep, but I've been wrong on # of wins for 3 series in a row :)

    Everything's been Milhouse for the Astros and I'm pretty happy about that.

    We lost because of Buster Olney's asinine tweet:

    Well considering he had devo up already, I don't believe it to be a stretch. Gregerson is not a "Good RP" this year. He has sucked all year as evidenced by his numbers.
