    I guess maybe we should kick around Game 7 starters for fun. For me it's LMJ without a doubt with McHugh out of the pen. DK out of the pen did not work out so well in 2015.

    We have watson as our qb and we can enjoy regular season basketball before their collapse in may! Looking at positives. And we get 1 or 2 more baseball games in houston!

    Why do you think astros are going to win at home. Why do you think there will be game 7?
    Verlander cannot throw a shutout against the yankees. He's probably thinking why risk injury and tear my arm apart when i know the offense wont score any runs

    What do you expect hinch? Did you expect harris to not suck? He is trash. Everyone knows it but you. Who's next? Liriano?

    Hinch should have treated yesterday like a must-win, which he did not do with his pitching selection.

    The team is paralyzed. Hinch's fault at this point.

    Another day game. Just got a chance to check in on this one.

    Team RISP: 0-for-6
    Team LOB: 5

    :rolleyes:

    Interesting fact: Now, only one pitcher in recorded baseball history has throw 7+ strikeouts in his first 5 postseason starts: Dallas Keuchel. (Bob Gibson only had 6 K in his fifth start, but he did win the game.)

    The Vibe will change at MMP and Verlander will yield well...we will score like 3-4 runs and it will be good enough to get to game 7. JMO. I know looking today wouldn't seem likely.

    I totally blame hinch for bringing in davinsky. Every time he comes in , it is guaranteed he will give up a base runner yet hinch keeps using him

    I feel the same way. It's weird. We've been absolutely tremendous on the road this season but it seems like these guys let the moment get to them, and will lay it all on the line at home.

    Close out game is always the hardest too. We will be good. I still believe, even though i'm incredibly frustrated

    Think this goes 7 easy. And if McCullers can go he has to go. I don't mind Morton because he's been clicking in at 95, but he's not quite seasoned enough to pull off a game 7 in the same way that I think McCullers is. This is one the rare games I would drop ananlytics completely and go with someone who emotionally can lift the team.
