    Astros thought they would just show up. They are getting their asses kicked.

    It's like the end of last years Rockets vs Utah series, it just seems like they figured us out. Hopefully superior talent wins it in the end.

    Short. Rest.

    Plain and simple.

    Bats need to pick him up.

    Don't need to see Verlander again on 3 days rest.

    Wow Verlander on 3 days rest was clearly the wrong decision. Hindsight is 20/20.

    It's so easy to second guess, but I don't really understand the move to go with JV on such short rest. I'd rather have JV in an elimination game 5 if necessary and take your chances with Urquidy/Bullpen.

    The numbers for short rest are not good and Verlander has never done it, this was always a huge risk.

    It's the same effort he's given on every ball all year. He is not a good OFer.

    Even if JV gets out of this inning he can't last more than three like this.

    Good luck with that. The Rays have figured out this Astros line up. With the bullpen most likely going the rest of the way, this team is going to need to score 6+ runs. Ain't happening.
