    They want the series to go longer because they get to televise more games. That's all it really is.

    Nah, they are going to pay him and he is going to stay. There’s no way we can let him go, and all else equal I don’t see how he could leave this situation.

    I think I might go to the hospital tomorrow and have a preventative stent put in for the pending heart attack watching the post season.

    This. It seems like Osuna was pumped to get through the 8th, but he then struggled to get up for the next inning of work in a 4 out save opportunity. Knowing that, just send someone else out after using Osuna.

    Cole, Will Smith, Alejandro, Machete and Carlitos all put the team on their backs, no pun intended for Carlos.

    what a great story for Machete. He wanted to come back as an Astro but his agent screwed it up. He fires his agent ends up in Chicago only to find himself in Houston once again contributing big time in this win tonight.

    And what can you say about Will Smith. The years keep rolling by but he just stays jiggy with it.

    But is it a good idea if you're not used to doing it?

    I’m more worried about the two innings we had 2 runners on and no outs and failed to score at least a run. I know the Rays has the best ERA during the season but you gotta come away with at least one run in those situations.

    They can enjoy their moral victories. I'll take the actual victories.

    And there went more years off my life. At this point I'm convinced Satan has something to do with October baseball.

    Not ready to say Osuna is an issue, it's just one bad outing, but given this franchises history with October closers it's hard not to be alarmed.

    Hinch isn’t as conventional as you think. You must be a new fan because Hinch was all but conventional managing the 2017 playoffs. You may not know this but Charlie Morton was the multi inning closer in game 7 of the World Series that year.

    Cole was a Yankee fan for life as a kid? I thought he was an Angels fan and that's why people think that's where he will sign?

    Neutral fans always want a long series anyways. It's like drama. Fun to watch, not fun to be part of, and when you are a netural observer then yeah, you want it to go five games and come down to the last pitch.
