    Stros are going bullpen despite 9th spot not batting.

    Thrid time through the order thing ?

    Maybe Urquidy told Hinch something.

    I’m not sure why you take Urquidy out unless he really is gassed. Maybe you want to save his arm for a possible Game 7 outing in relief.

    It's tough seeing Urquidy taken out after he had the best start of any of these high profile pitchers in the series.

    Why Hinch are you pulling him? He can pitch one more inning.

    Wish he had gotten one more inning. James is too Jekyll and Hyde. Please let the good James show up

    Lame. Justin Morneau was saying the best thing to happen to a team that is struggling against a pitcher is when he gets taken out. Gives new life to the team that is struggling. And this isn't the first time I've heard someone say this. Hopefully this doesn't backfire.

    Chirinos saw something in that last inning. Urquidy did seem to lose some control. Nats were hitting into outs on balls right down the middle

    Yeah, he was missing up some last inning, but I was outside pacing around while watching and didn't know if that was by design or fatigue. He hasn't thrown many pitches in a game situation in almost a month (9/27)

    Yea was hoping for at least 1 more inning, which would give us Smith Harris and Osuna to close it out.

    I don't think this is one of those no brainers that you leave Urquidy in. Also, if Smoltz was right and Chirinos gave Hinch a signal to start warming people up, maybe he saw something that Urquidy was getting tired.
