He doesn't have a violent wind up/motion. If he isn't sore out of his mind, I would let him go. He gives us the best shot at winning. There is no tomorrow. Colin has won 20 games this year but he isn't on Keuchel's level.
So, best case scenario, he goes 4 innings and we have to survive the rest of the game with our bullpen? Pass.
Go McHugh to start, make Keuchel available if need be, and give Sipp more than one batter this time. Cannot trust this atrocity of a bullpen.
or so you think until perez suddenly runs to the mound there is no crying in baseball, but this was close to it.
Let's hope McHugh is on fire and goes 9. Otherwise, I would think Keuchel might be able to come on for a 2 or 3 inning save.
McHugh should start; that should be a no-brainer. All hands on deck in the bullpen (except McCullers), including Kazmir and possibly even Keuchel.
mchugh's gonna get torched and the offense won't score a run. gonna be a 9-inning party for the home crowd. that's what i'm expecting. hope i'm wrong. i'm so sick right now.
McHugh then Fiers. Maybe Keuchel if the game goes extra innings but I'd rather have him ready for ALCS. Today was painful but it will be nice to shut the KC fans up with a road win.
I don't know what would lead you to believe that McHugh is going to get lit up other than you're pissed off. I expect he'll pitch well and the Astros will again get to Cueto on short rest.
We might just have the weakest bullpen in the Majors in terms of mental strength. Unless our starting pitcher is throwing a complete game, I'm giving the Royals a major edge. Even then, it's not like runs are going to come easy with Cueto on the mound. One thing is for sure though, I wouldn't mind it one bit if Harris, Fields, and Gattis all oversleep and miss the team flight.
Wednesday at 7:00 PM I am expecting nothing but the worst after today, but hopefully we have some 2005-esque comeback after the blown save disaster. I don't know. It's hard to think straight right now. We just watched an all-time Houston sports loss...
McHugh then Fiers sounds like a good plan. The Astros seem to find ways to win a game when Collin is on the mound. I mean the 20 wins speak for themselves.
lol who the **** are u and have I ever communicated with u on here? Oh well. Can't please everyone! U sound like a winner though it's a shame what happened between us? Go Stros. I love mchugh in this spot weds. 20 game winner I think he has another big one left in him yet.
