The pitchers brought up from AAA this year have shown the moment is not too big for them for the most part. Harris can't be trusted. He's been pitching like the journeyman he was before he came to the Astros.

Agree rox....right now the moment seemed TOO BIG for Harris and I'm not sure which inning he's pitching matters. BTW, this is not Harris' first collapse...I've seen this movie before.

Lol...sigh...Hoyt gives one up to Encarnarcion but I still would have trusted him more than Harris that last inning.

I guess a 2 run lead was insurmountable is the reason Giles didn't pitch.

Who pitches the 9th then, Giles? You can't just not use Harris because he blew a few saves.

He sure did.....good thing Harris didn't give up a run. And he never gives up a HR. Oops...scratch that.

the same way Gregerson went from blowing everything in the 9th to shutting down the 8th, it's quite possible Harris could do the same.

I'm not ready to write him off immediately. This is his first appearance since then! He gave up that barely-fair double on a good pitch on the edge, a fielder's choice, and a ground ball that is playable at normal depth. Not a good inning, but I don't think you immediately go to the guy just called up from AAA based on 1 outing

Agree, don't think you should use anyone else in that situation. I don't think he's done either but his confidence is shot right now. One of my biggest concerns earlier in the season was him pitching too many innings, like all those times we would waste him in non-save situations or play him with a big lead like when we're up by 6 in the 9th , which could also attribute to his downfall (just like last year).

Maybe they comeback against all odds here. As for this weekend, hope they sweep the Rangers or just get swept so we can turn our attention to football.

Good points....I just have zero confidence in him.Hope he turns it around. These last couple of series have been depressing.

Pitching has not been the problem this series. They got shelled in Detroit 2/3 games and have bounced back to give this team a chance for the sweep. Unfortunately, 2/3rd of our lineup is terrible and our big guys haven't come up with timely hits.

This is a good point, especially with Devenski throwing several innings earlier in the series and Feliz pitching last night. I just have no confidence in Harris right now.

Pitching gave up one game...14 innings as I recall.And 4 runs for the opposition is death with the lineup as you alluded to.

Yet another stinking strike call to finish Correa. Speechless
