    I only said Hinch because he was the one quoted. I am sure you are right. But how is it wasting assets to send one guy down and another up?

    Honestly we’re at a HUGE advantage not having a DH because we’re always at a HUGE disadvantage compared to other AL teams when we do...

    Edit: Also don’t really fault him for not playing Marwin. Their OF is huge and it’s not like he’s been Mike Trout hitting the baseball this year.

    Luhnow absolutely has the final say, but Hinch absolutely has influence on that. And yeah, he has to play/pitch who's on the team.

    McCullers flipped his script within 2 starts of my Road McCullers Thread. Later on, he was probably the only Astro to play well in the Bronx.

    Home Astros.... Who wants to do the honors ?!?? :):)

    It's a shame that Stassi's walk felt like it accomplished something by clearing Marisnick. Now we can start the next inning with just one free out.

    You know Medlen has worked his ass off the last couple of years to come back from injuries. I almost feel sorry for him tonight.
