    Javier has already reached his career high in innings, unless you include his minor league years. His career high is only 112. Surely that isnt the reason he was moved.

    Mancini slapping Archer in the face with that Italian man meat.

    You remember when that website came up with the fact that Mancini's 10 HRs with Baltimore would have been 22 had he played half his games as an Astro instead?

    They apparently were not wrong.

    Mancini has a really compact swing... How does he get so much power

    I think that might possibly be a reason also. Limiting his innings

    Meyers goofed that one. It cost us a run. McCormick makes that catch easily.

    Geez Luis... you deserve to be in the bullpen or left off the playoff roster.

    No it's because Dusty thinks we need help in the bullpen, the only problem is he is gonna go back to that dumb usage where he pitches once every 4 or 5 games and pitches 3 innings, vs being a true reliever we could use 3 times a week on average.

    Dusty is one dumb b****.

    Have y'all finally come around to the fact that Garcia is just a so so starter? Far from terrible, but his ceiling is very limited.

    No way in hell Garcia should start a single playoff game.

    Garcia’s value has plummeted lately. Come on.

    He was moved because he is the best weapon in the pen with the playoffs.
    Verlander, Framber, McCullers, Urquidy playoff starters.
    Not sure Garcia makes playoff squad
