    Pretty much role with the lineup that got you there. Not much to really argue with. A case could've been made to radically switch it up, but perhaps Hinch didn't want the guys to think he was panicking.

    We saw what happens when hinch panicked managing the bullpen in game 4

    At this point, the manager shouldnt think like a mathematician and think theres some formula to unlock this offense. We know they can hit the ball.

    At this point the manager should think like a therapist and try to get these guys to have confidence and start trusting themselves again.

    Thats my 2 cents and why I like it.

    Only useful Ignacio Spriger does more than simply take a quick look at home plate before heading back to the dugout

    Change it up it's not working, try something else. I would of been happy with anything different. I definitely would be panicked. Same ol hinch. If it's not broke don't fix it. BUT IT'S BROKE!

    Sucks we blew that 4-0 lead in game 4, we'd be up 3-2 with 2 home games to close it out. It seems like all the Astros have done for the last week + is lose, yet we're still alive. We win tonight, we win tomorrow, bring it home Verlander.

    Amen. I know they will play hard for the city of Houston.

    Regardless, teams have come back down 3-2 before (Cards vs Astros 04 NLCS) and it can happen again. Just gotta play this like the elimination game this is.

    We have a team for 5-10 years at least. It's exciting times for Astros. Just for the love of God, please get ELITE bullpen help (two guys at least) and another SP for next year. Our arms are so fatigued.

    The fan, Marlins Guy, was interviewed on 790 and said his friend with Yankee inside-info told him NY scouted our pitching well entering Games 3-5. They studied pitch-sequence and basically knew what was coming.

    Seems every team would do that, but hey.
