    Yes, but there was one poster who wrote the Astros MUST sign Sipp. Not "should", but MUST.

    Lol. But Sipp should be the last pitcher to come in right now if you're trying to still win the game.

    Right now, wrong 100 percent.

    Right now he is our worse reliever, with Giles close second.

    Dude, give it a rest. You're doing all the things you've been asked/warned not do again and again. You're an unintentional troll--possibly the worst kind. How you haven't been banned yet is beyond me.

    Memo to Hinch, Devinski came, and conquered.

    When are you going to do the job and start using this guy in big situations??? Why don't you start using Sipp in already lost games, well, like today where the game is 4 to 1, and leave Devinski in big situations???

    What else does Devenski needs to do to prove that after Harris, he is the best pitcher vs lefties?????? What!!!!!!!!!

    Nooooooooo, he was very good, and I SAID SO, but today he is not doing a good job using the bullpen.

    Ahhhh, ok, you only want to hear or read the good things, not the bad things.


    Dude, Hinch just HINCHED US TODAY. Sorry, but is the truth.

    No one warming in the 7th, mistake.
    Letting Fister pitch to the 3b, mistake.
    Sipp warming losing by 3 is not bad, the game is almost done so is ok.

    But now using Devenski losing by 5????

    Wow, in one inning mistake after mistake.

    When games are close, mistakes like that cost.

    The guy ruins any conversation that could be had on this forum. Everything quickly turns to cangre any time he is on during games...sucks but nothing we can do about it

    In any case, even with a loss today we will have taken 2 of 3 on the road from a team that plays great at home

    I think the Astros are a better team then the Royals even though they're gonna win the season series 4-3. Their starters suck which makes their dominant bullpen obsolete at times.

    You really are prone to hindsight and recency bias.

    Pretty much makes every baseball take you have worthless. It's only topped by your even more annoying ability to argue both sides of an argument, and then you have the audacity to say "look at how many thing I am right about!"

    If there was a psychological profile of the worst type of uninformed poster one can be... You would fit every single category. Happy trails...

    Definitely. Even if today continues like this, all we've been saying is "keep winning series". And that's exactly what they did--like you said, against a team that was, what 25-8 at home coming in? Today would've just been gravy.

    Wasn't too long ago that winning a road series was an impossible feat with this bunch... with blame attributed to youth, bad managing, and mental cases.

    The rotation by the Royals is a intreating one, because i don't think they are that bad.

    They don't have a number 1 or 2 starter, but they do have 3 number 3, and a very good number 4.

    Ventura, Duffy and Volquez are good number 3's, Kennedy is a very good number 4 and the 2 number 5 are struggling Young/Medlen (injured right now).

    So i think the rotation is average, but they can be better than average if Ventura/Duffy and Volquez improve a little.
