    Game 3 tied in the 6th is not the time to use Smith when the other guys are rested ... you go with them and hope there is a game where the situation allows Smith/Rondon to eat some innings

    You don’t leave off Peacock for Smith or Rondon.

    Unreal that we grab momentum and Hinch counters with Smith. Indefensible call by Hinch. Complete and utter ****!!!!

    That’s a valid argument. But Peacock is far from untouchable himself.

    You go down that road when it comes to it. It's game 3, not game 5, 6, or 7. It should have been McCullers or McHugh.

    Still had one of the highest k rates in the game.

    I have no clue what Rondon or Smith even bring.

    McHugh? McCullers? Keuchel? James?

    All better options than Smith.

    With Smith and Rondon being the FA signings this off season, did the organization feel they owed them playoff time? I just can't make sense of it.

    So why are we playing our worst bullpen guys in the 6th in a close playoff game again?

    If we were up 1 Smith wouldn’t have been in there. It’s not an easy decision to make but it wasnt ridiculous by any means for Joe Smith to be pitching right there.

    The Astros weren’t going to win if they didn’t score another run so this doesn’t really change much.
