    Bullpen has got to hold 'em here and have our starting line up up next inning.

    Hendricks is piling up innings though. If he comes in for the 9th surely he's not available for tomorrow if it does go.

    Reddick acting like he ever had a chance on that is laughable. He was behind on every swing he took in that AB. GTFOH with that.

    They are burning their Pen.

    it’s like a 10 round fight.

    Astros are hitting body blows.

    Damn.. and now we don’t have Maldonado behind the plate to catch..

    good news is that we got top of the order coming up next inning and we’ve at least burned Hendricks tomorrow if they want him for a three inning save

    You don't treat this like a regular season game. Do something not by the book. Do you remember who closed for Game 7, us vs. Dodgers? Liam getting a 3 inning job. Dusty is playing a 5 game series, not the first to win 3 games.

    I agree. It's such a... "If it works it's amazing and you're a genius, if it doesn't, you look like a fool" sport. I'm a 'bit frustrated at certain posters acting like Dusty has gems to work with in the bullpen. When James gave up his second hit during that inning I might have pulled him as well, but he also got a DP the inning before.

    Sometimes the players just have to do their jobs. It's easy to pile up on a manager (I'm guilty of that too at times), but if the players do their jobs, the manager isn't needed to make tough decisions.

    But I agree with your statement.
