    Nah, most of us said it was a bad move before it happened though...

    He probably had one more inning in him, although he was facing the top of the order. I get what Hinch was thinking, but sometimes you don't need to gamble like that when you have Game 5 at home to fall back on. Especially with Sale now out of the picture for the Red Sox if this series goes the distance.

    Hinch showed the offense no confidence either panicking and going with Verlander.

    So silly of A.J. he let the Boston coaching staff out maneuver him. We went from advantage to no advantage....game not over..we can still get it of course but really stupid, desperate move.

    This was such a reactionary move, the Red Sox burned their ace because there is no tomorrow for them if they lose and then we do the exact same ****ing thing and it blows up in our faces.

    Offense needs to wake the F up man. What is done is done.

    Either our offense responds or we go back to Houston for game 5.

    Yet again the Astros have to beat the other team and their own ****ing manager.

    This just gets really old.

    It's just such a huge gamble, Verlander basically has to win or else it'll be on a shaky Keuchal to save the season.

    I just don't get it.
