Rondon? What's you beef with him? As far as I'm concerned he's right there with McHugh/Devo (eta: that was pretty depressing to type) Harris and Smith are situational guys. Sipp is Sipp. Giles is Giles.
They will try to add a high end arm at the end of the pen but from what I am reading the price may be too high. Even teams with closers are trying to add. The Red Sox for example want Herrera to set up Kimbrel.
Why Harris if Rondon was available? Harris was great found money while he lasted, but he’s pretty much done it seems.
Let's keep this One Run entering the bottom of the inning. Sipp multi-ing for the W. With no Betts playing, Astros better - at worst - win this series. Sweep this ****.
You are one of his staunchest defenders right? Aren’t you the one who always responds with “stupid hinch” even when people aren’t openly blaming him. Isn’t that you? He does have a ring, thanks for pointing that out. Still doesn’t make him infallible. He is usually deserving of being called out on here when he is.
No, not that I know of. Only time I blame the manager is when the manager does not put his guys in the ideal situation to succeed. You can't blame the manager when the players don't do their job. You can blame the manager when he doesn't do his. ETA: Yeah, I defend management, I defend players, I don't really like Random Johnny Jackass saying "you suck!!!"
