    It's a tough situation. If we had someone speedy on the bench that could make solid contact but be quick enough to stay out of the dp then I'd do it. However, White would be a solid possibility of a strike out or dp, and I really would prefer to have Val at 3rd and Marwin at first defensively to start the 9th.

    Really disagree with letting Valbuena hit there.

    Would much rather have the two run lead and worse defense out there.

    The Astros might have the worst batting IQ in the league. They just dont understand the concept of making contact when there is a man on 3rd with less than two outs.

    Not a good job on Hinch, not using White as a pinch hitter, and now brings Gregerson, i would use Giles

    Gomez is

    As ****ty as he has been overall, .300 vs LHP and with speed less likely to hit into DP

    Let's go Luke

    LOL, you seriously think that is an "IQ" issue.

    Go coach em up. Just hit the ball you idiots, it's simple.
