 Boone is an idiot for pulling Paxton. We've not come close to doing any damage against him. It might work for him, but sometimes mangers over manage. As I said earlier, what does it matter if he throws 130 pitches tonight. Until he shows he can't get outs, I'd leave him in.

Sanchez is bad at catching.

The umpire feeds it.

If i was Blue, i'd tell that motherfucker to just stop begging for calls or I'm walking the fuck out of the next10 batters.

Diaz needs to pinch hit for Alvarez next inning.

Make Britton face three righties. 

 I'm guessing it's gonna be Chapman for 2 innings.

not trying to get the toothpaste back in the tube, howevah...

Would it have been fucked up to bullpen tonight and have JV and Cole waiting in Houston, or is this also a move to set up for the WS, should the Astros advance?

This has been addressed many times before. It's not rocket science. You go with your best pitcher on full rest.

Trying to win the battle at the detriment of the war.  Same thing will happen tomorrow when Cole goes on short rest.

a bullpen game would've put a lot of pressure on our starters the next two nights and essentially yielded the game to them.  you pitch jv tonight and try to end the series, then he starts g2 on full rest.  otherwise you have to wait til g3 which would suck.

he's been awesome for the last 6 innings.  but the 345' foul pole shot + paxton has been enough.

the 7-8-9 black hole is back.  we should bat yordan 4th or not at all.
