Even Valdez as shaky as he was last night would've probably given up only 1 run through 3 innings if not for Altuve's error. We don't need...
The upside is the offense has scored no fewer than 5 runs in every game this postseason and the Astros bullpen has been solid. Honestly at this...
I would guess barring a disaster in Game 3 with Urquidy, you have a bullpen game with either Greinke or Javier starting and the two of them...
What's scary though is that Lance was never gonna pitch in these first two games. We were always counting on Valdez and Garcia to take the mound....
Let's hope the Astros don't have to pull these antics in Boston and can actually get some quality starts.
It's magnified now that we're facing a possible 1-1 series heading into Boston. He really would've helped in Game 3.
That's what I'm thinking. It's not like Garcia was killing it in the first inning and suddenly came up lame in the second.
Well, they did need to buy time for someone to warm up.

Damn it, Joe Buck! Stop making me have a heart attack.
Can Graveman and Pressley lock it down? Without the drama this time?
That actually was a much easier catch for Hernandez than the earlier one. He seemed to be showboating after pretending to overrun it.
Yeah, Javier got it twice in a row.
Alright. 2-3-4 due up. This is the inning where they have to make it happen.
They already did earlier and Altuve struck out.
Great job by Javier. Only problem is we've got 8-9-1 due up.
