    Can't win a game when you're down a run.

    I don't think the move was a good one by Hinch but y'all are all acting like having Keuchel out there for game 5 won't be an advantage over whoever the Sox throw out there.

    I give a lot of credit to the other side. Porcello lpitcjed like Houdini. As much credit as Morton gets so should Porcello. Sale looks like the Cy Young winner he probably will be. Boston is desperate though they have to burn their ace. We didn't.

    Yall are acting like Keuchel is invincible and not prone to having shaky games.

    I think Sale could have pitched all the games and shut us down the entire time if his arm didn't fall off.

    Like when Clemons came and pitched in relief? No. No one knew squat.

    Of course it’s an advantage. But Verlander is an even bigger one. He was an unknown out of the pen in a situation that didn’t necessitate using him. Unnecessary gamble.

    He's been a beast in the playoffs but in a situation like game 5, I don't really have high hopes with Houston sports history.

    Hinch pulling a Pete Rose.

    Betting AGAINST his team.
