Brantley still batting 2nd? If the Astros score only one run again(especially if Springer makes it on base a couple times), Hinch will never hear the end of it.
Anyone going to the game from here? Section 216 here. Getting ready to be the loudest mother fker at the game. Any fan whos not ESTATIC about tonight needs to question themselves if they're indeed baseball fans. This is the type of **** we live for as fans. Elimination game. Playoffs. Gerrit Cole pitching on the mound. How the fk did any of you guys watch the Rockets Champsionship run in 1994.
p***y. The rockets didn't win the championship in 1994 until they beat the Suns down 3-1 with their backs against the walls. Adversity is what makes champions as true champions. Our boys are going go out there and beat some Florida ass. Fk the state of Florida anyways .
I don't get why Hinch doesn't just go back to Altuve batting 2nd behind Springer. I know the offense wasn't exactly great in Games 1-3, but at least they scored more than 1 run in those.
I'll have what he's having. Sign me up for the "nervous as ****" crowd. The series just doesn't feel right. Game 4 felt like it was over almost before it began. We really need to get our mojo back. Hopefully it can happen at HOME tonight. Offensively, this team is looking like the Bagwell/Biggio era playoff teams of the late 90's.
It reminds me more of the 2017 ALCS. The Astros offense was anemic in the first 2 games, but great pitching got them the wins. Then they laid an egg in Games 3 and 5 at Yankee Stadium and blew Game 4. But they came home with their ace on the mound in Game 6 and he shut out the Yankees til the offense finally showed up in the 5th inning.
