[Official] 2017 World Champion Astros @ Mariners

There is a decent chance Hinch is going to have to do some serious work to keep pitchers happy in the playoffs.

 

This game is drunk.

 

I repeat, this game is drunk.

 

I just walked in the house and that was the first thing I saw after turning the tv on.

First base coach was screaming at him and he just wandered off into neverneverland.

 

What did I miss? Give me a proper bbs rundown, before I go back and start reading posts from this morning.

 

A balk would be real nice about now.

 

Jake needs to sit. It's comical at this point.

 

Jake is too ****ing bad to play right now. It's like having a pitcher in the lineup but he's probably worse than a pitcher right now.

 

Perhaps... did you perceive any unhappiness last year?

I thought they all responded/answered the call with spades when Hinch went to the modified tandem.

 

Jake, we’re all rooting for you.... but you need to not play baseball as much right now.

 

Jake's such a good dude personality wise. This sucks.

 

Gah, Springer missed an 85mph meatball begging to be crushed.

 

Altuve!! that's our MVP!!

 

Finally starting to come up with some big hits with risp

 

Now we're cookin with gas!

 

LMJ was not happy about relieving.

 

Our 4th and 5th starters have ERAs below 1.

That is all.

 

LMJ needs to grow the **** up. And not just because of that one instance, he's a headcase at times.

 

Well, he was a much better reliever in that game 7 than at any other point as a starter in the playoffs.

On some level, he had to be pumped that he could throw 27 consecutive curveballs, and get outs, during an MLB game, let alone an ALCS game 7.

 

As record-setting as the offense was last year... I expect this year’s starting pitching to be even better than the 2017 offense.
