    Hinch will always be consistent with this type of move... whether it’s a regular season game vs Oakland, or game 5 of the World Series.

    The only argument against it is if you feel Alvarez has good enough speed to run the bases.

    So, in a game where we really need to stop the bleeding, that is what we got for this one :(

    The offense better be a ten. Double digit runs that is.

    I called Hinch out against the WS for doing the same thing late in the game I believe there were 2 outs the go ahead run was already on second base and he subbed for Alvarez. What is he thinking?

    We could see Reddick out there on the mound.

    Is that your way of keeping him from getting ab’s?

    This is a joke, right?

    What “what if’s” do the Astros have?

    It's more complicated than just Alvarez's speed. 1) Astros were home vs the Dodgers, so a score there ends the game. 2) McCann's replacement (Centerno) is a smaller downgrade than Diaz @ DH vs Yordan.

    Two leadoff runners on for the top of OAK's lineup.

    I'd take one run right now.
