    oh yeah i haven't seen anyone comment on the comment they made that we broke the record for fewest combined wins by starting pitchers in games 1 and 2 of an LCS. amazing. and they both did well and we took at least one out too early i think.


    lets not screw this inning up with the first two runners on.

    Doesn't matter as long as he can bunt and get our men over.

    Nice to see Dan Wheeler thowing in the bullpen, he's one guy who's actually looked good out the pen this postseason.

    Things are Ph**ked but it's still only one run. We can win this one.

    Let's hope the pen can step up.

    Bruntlett up. If he does not bunt Garner should be fired.

    but Calero is coming in,,and he's nasty.

    Not when they hit into a double play, and then strike out.....

    bro, when I root against the 'stros, they do good.....reverse psychology

    yeah they have been commenting on it all day and night since yesterday and i was really wanting our team to shut them up...but they were pulled way to quick and now we won't find out...cause the darn bullpen just gives up runs left and right.

    Nick,

    You can not manage the same way in the regular season and the post season.

    The teams are not the Brewers, Reds, and Pirates any more, these are the cream of the crop.

    You absolutely HAVE to let your BEST players win or lose it for you.

    Garner is letting a bunch of players that are AAA at best decide the fate of the rest of the team.

    Leave your starters in, especially with 2 outs....let them get some confidence.

    If they are getting shelled or they ask to come out, fine, but for crying out loud, Munro had a decent streak going tonight.

    Let him try to work out of it...or put in Redding...LOL

    man, i'm just in a pissy mood since those homeruns. I really hope for once we can overcome our crappy bullpen.

    Taking out Munro for a reliever and bringing in Bruntlett... "Obviously Taylor's thinking... I don't what the hell he's thinking!!"

    DaDakota has totally been right on with his last few spots. Garner has got to got to got to have a little more faith in the starters, PLEASE!

    Dude get over yourself. I've watched this team for years. I had little hope that Munro would pitch a decent game, but he was actually not doing a bad job. Everyone knows the bullpen has trouble holding leads and with a pitcher throwing a decent game it makes no sense to put an unknown out there with a 5 era. It's not a hard decision to make and just about everyone here agreed with keeping Munro in.

    I completely agree. i mean our bullpen sucks and Munros pitchers were located good..the home run given up was just golf balled out of here it's not like it was a bad pitch and i doubt he would have givn up anymore...but who knows now....

    Personally I would have put in Everett to bunt here. He's an excellent hitter. I'm not so sure about Bruntlett here.
