    Ok...but if we come back and win you know you can never watch another Stros game again, right?

    We can get 4 runs in a flash. Someone needs to get it started.

    Oh boy. Hinch going to Pressly with 2 guys on. This should be interesting.

    BAD move by Hinch here IMO

    Presley has not looked sharp . Why put him on here with runners on base ?

    Urquidy is missing bats and getting soft contact

    I like it. This game is likely over and hopefully if Pressley does well he will have confidence to use him in game 5. If Pressley struggles he won't be an option.

    True. Hoping Pressly is back.

    A lot of it is being in denial of the possibility of a Astros season collapse.

    Brantley was pretty trash vs the Astros in last years playoffs too...

    Agreed. Tropical field has been a bad luck for Astros. I do not know why there has been a case. It has been a terrible place to play. Can’t wait for them to play in our sweet home sweet city, Houston.

    Sigh. My fault guys. I'll go back to ignoring Astros playoff games until after they have been played like in 2005 and 2017.

    I got destroyed last night for suggesting Urquidy start. I’ve never been a big fan of 3 days rest.

    however...Verlander asked for the ball so it would be hard to say no.

    Brantley's career postseason OPS is .450.

    Between Reddick, Brantley and Greinke we have some real playoff duds on the roster...

    Ya, this is on Verlander for being overconfident. If you are a manager you are going to trust Verlander's word.

    Same here. Hinch likely seeing Cole/Harris/Osuna as his 3 guns Thursday but going to consider Pressly in the mix if he holds up tonight...
