    At some point, you have to trust your bullpen. If you lose b/c of it, then blame the hitters- 1 run is not acceptable. Our bullpen needs to take it personal. They are getting **** on by all commentators, and with good reason. They need to get pissed and start pitching like they did earlier in the season.

    I don't get it either, the pitchers spot is due 3rd in the top of the 8th...Peacock is coming in to just get one more out then get pitch-hit for

    No way? Pitchers tend to suck their 3rd time through the order way more so than their first or second time through. Even Roberts is taking out Kershaw here and he has dominated the Astros thus far. Our bullpen is a lot stronger than their recent performance has shown.

    He had to pitch out of the walk. He was 1 pitch away from doing that.

    Hinch taking out Keuchel makes me think he may start him game 4 if we get desperate and are down 3-0, something I mentioned prior the series. And opens the door to a potential game 7 start also.

    Only advantage of going to the pen here is that it’s close enough to be a pressure opportunity for some of these relievers to redeem themselves.

    You keep him in if it's an AL game but in an NL game you're giving up an out on offense with only 12 outs left in the game in a spot where you will have to score runs. That's a lot more massive than people seem to realize.

    I don’t think one inning will make a difference for Keuchel pitching in game 4. He was doing fine. Should have stayed in but hopefully it won’t matter much.

    I take my comment back it's peacock! He doesn't count as bullpen. Mow them down!

    Pulling Keuchel was idiotic.

    Peacock should shut them down, then you need runs and go from there.

    Lose this game....sucks....but eating Kershaw was a tall order. All you really lose is the ability to have won this series in a short amount of games. Verlander wins game 2 and we’re still in business. The World Series shouldn’t be easy
