Gawd how many near-HRs have we had this game? Yet theirs go over with ease. F'n enraging. Hard to be too upset though. If our pitching staff weren't decapitated this wouldn't even be close.
I'll take this in a game we're winning and the front row Crawford shots against the Rangers to piss em off if that's the trade
I really like Reddick. Scrappy guy, underrated pickup...he's been great for the 'Stros. Really couldn't ask for much more from him.
Decent point as far as leverage. If Luke plays tonight, pitching tomorrow would equal 4 games in 6 days. That's kinda pushing it. Feliz' pitching 2 today would leave him more available tomorrow than Luke, IMO. He last pitched the 25th for 2 innings with 2 days off before that.
watched for the face after you wrote this since i'm delayed. Seemed like something was bugging him but not enough to be an issue he was acknowledging while high-fiving in the dugout. I say no conern.
Didn't realize that on Luke. Yes, if he goes tonight, that's probably it for him. But Sipp wouldn't have come in in the 7th for the top of the order (too risky), and he wouldn't have come in in the 8th with better guys available that late. So if you let Feliz go 2, you're still probably looking at Harris, whoever's coming next, and Giles (unless they bust this open). Seems like it would've only saved Sipp, which is mostly irrelevant
This. Fisher hit more HRs in two games than Aoki has hit all year. Didn't Fisher lay down a sick bunt too? Make it happen Hinch.
