    Baker is stubborn. Have to win in spite of him.

    Having to beat the other team, sometimes the refs/umps, and your own coach/manager.

    Astros gonna have to win it all, despite/overcoming Dusty Baker.

    Why not urquidy. I was joking last time that the day rest would make yimmy available in Dusty's eyes. =(

    Is this a new rule where you have to bring in the same pitcher who blew open the previous game to make it more interesting for the fans?

    Dusty's thinking get Garcia some confidence after a bad outing while saving some of McCullers. I'm thinking stick with your starter until you have to pull him in a game like this.

    Lance has better numbers on the road. I’m glad he’d likely be Game 3 starter in Boston. If Dusty doesn’t mess this up.

    Only option if you take out Lance is putting Urquidy in. Maybe Maton. But inserting Garcia this early is a death wish.

    I don't know why everyone is surprised, all year the Astros have had to win in spite of Dusty instead of because of him. Like seriously he has held this team back immensely, in my eyes he is basically Bill O'brien junior.

    Putting Garcia in now.. Pure idiocy. If he gets through it then you dodge a bullet, but wow man. This is poor decision making.

    This brings back shades of 2019 WS game 7 where they pulled Greinke early with the lead.
