So even you're acknowledging Hensley essentially outperformed Mancini here. I don't have a "narrative." I'm just telling you what I know, which...
And while I'm sure Nook has some insight into some of the inner-workings of the Astros organization and I'm sure analytics play a significant role...
Right, but why does it have to be just two is the point that I'm making. Hensley has gotten some starts at DH this season, and he's actually...
Isn't Dusty the one setting the lineups? If I believed the Astros analytics team was solely responsible for those decisions, I'd agree with you....
I don't think it's "b****ing" to say, "we've got a few different options at DH and things aren't working with these guys, so could we give this...
I know it's obviously a small sample size and this wouldn't exactly be a huge change in the lineup, but if the Astros continue to get crap...
Yeah, I know it probably goes against every unspoken rule in the "old school baseball rules" book, but if you look at the four DH candidates,...
Yeah, if he pitches like that the rest of the postseason (which he's more than capable of), Houston's going to be insanely hard to beat the rest...
If Pena keeps hitting like this and the Astros win the World Series, we all need to blow like $100 at Taqueria Arandas the next day. It's the...
Pressley! Man has ice in his veins! Great win to start the series!

The heart of the order needs to show the bottom of the order it can score, too. A 2-run lead is nice, but 3-4+ would be better. Don't make us...
Yuli!!!!! That's it. He's completely forgiven. Sign him to be the starting first baseman for next year. The man is clutch as hell.
Ouch. Devastating...
To no one's surprise, Judge strikes out.
Start time is almost the same as the Astros. It's definitely going to be a two-screen kind of night. Let's hope for all the Houston sports wins on...
I think a lot of it begins with the answer to the Verlander question. Do you spend the money to bring him back or acknowledge your depth at...
Taking a step back, but what a crazy day in baseball. The two NL favorites get knocked out in four before reaching the ALCS. Epic Cleveland...
I went to bed and the Dodgers were up 2-0 with the bases loaded and no outs in the 7th. I wake up, and they lose 5-3. One of the best "woke up to...
I wonder at what point you bring in Hensley and Meyers just to have some fresh bodies in the lineup.
