[Official] Astros @ Cardinals

we have a fantastic bullpen yet Hinch leaves starters into the 7th consistently

 

Al Tuv Eh?

 

Words can't describe Altuve any more.

Great stretch by Marwin as well.

 

I'm no Hinch fan but are you seriously complaining about him saving the bullpen when he has a guy pitching so well and on a low pitch count???

 

one more inning for fister?

 

You can pencil in Fister for 6 to 7 innings, 2 to 3 runs. Very solid. If just a couple of the other starters were pitching up to his level the team would be in much better shape, even with the inconsistent offense.

 

Why take out a starting pitcher that has been great all year, with under to near only 80 pitches and a 3 run lead? Why use one of our good relievers when you don't have to yet.

 

Most quality starting staffs do have pitchers that can pitch into the 7th.

Fister sitting at 81 pitches through 7... with a 3 run lead. He'll probably be out there for the 8th too.

Who are you... Jimy Williams?

 

First, not sure what you mean by 'consistently'. Second, every single time, except once, a starter who has gone 7+ innings has given up 2 runs or less. Also, McHugh gave up 3 runs in his complete game.

 

Some ugly looking Ks from Correa tonight

 

Maybe Correa should borrow go go's glasses.

 

Swing the damn bat Correa!

 

Gotta be a metric for teams that consistently excel against the shift... Oakland, St. Louis, Texas.

 

Geez, St. Louis pinch hitters hitting .330, and our starters are struggling to hit .230

 

He's got his Ensberg cloak of invisibility on.

 

.370"

 

Bah, was hoping Fister could go all the way

 

It's frustrating. He lets a lot of fat pitches go by he could be doing some damage to.

 

Fix your hat Giles!

 

Springer, Altuve and Correa are 1-12 between them tonight and we've scored 5. Very good sign
