    BOS fans acting like they're getting hosed by the umps is so funny. They truly lack all self-awareness. They'd have a heart attack with the MLB replays we've dealt with this year!

    Weird spot to bring James into.

    Boston fans are seriously the most annoying legit.... and I’m sorry but Alex Cora just has a punchable face.

    Hinch walked from dugout on 1-0 count. Took ball from LMJ. Gave to James.

    I thought the only way you can take out a pitcher during a count is if they’re injured

    I’m glad james is getting some work and possibly some jitters out. He may prove useful later.

    Nice gifted run, Stros. You need to score this inning. Boston bullpen is not great and they are overused.

    What use is a strong arm when you can't protect the plate?

    Maldonado is being overused like Francisco Liriano was last year with the hopes of justifying a poor trade.

    I believe stats were posted after the trade about how Maldonado ranked near the bottom of the MLB in plate protection, which is much more important than throw out percentage.

    Brian McCann is clearly the better player in my opinion and it's a shame he's on the bench for a scrub who was a backup for the mediocre Los Angeles Angels.

    Need to get some on base here at least to get the top of the order to bat in the 9th.

    Come on answer back. Need to score at least 1 in the 8th imo. Might be able to get 1 off Kimbrel but 2 might be tough. Also need baserunners. Need to somehow give Altuve and mostly Bregman another at bat.

    After pitcher has finished facing one batter, he can be removed at any time after that.
