    We're not playing like we need to be to sustain the division lead. This is going down to the wire.

    Don't worry, we will burn our DH somehow in extra innings while at it.

    This is one of those situations where a manager can think way outside the box and you bring in your very best pitcher to snuff out the fire here in the 7th.

    Very few managers in the history of the game have done that.

    Just remember they are 18-25 in their last 43.

    Odds are they make the playoffs though.

    Still waiting to hear if a hitting coach has ever been fired in season.

    I
    I would have had Abreu up as soon as the 2nd batter got on.

    But that's just me.

    How many times has Espada:
    • Pulled a reliever with less than 5 pitches then faces extra innings or
    • Used his closer for a 4-run non-save situation?

    Feels like the Astros are playing the vintage Yankees at their peak. How really bad are the Astros to make one of the worst teams in baseball look good?
