I was in the camp of making last night a bullpen game. I wanted to rest Verlander another day and go back to Houston having to win one of two games with Verlander and zcile back to back. But there is probably a reason I am a fan and not a coach.

You will get your bullpen game today

The Astros are slashing .178/.275/.302 in 169 at-bats during the ALCS.

I thought Hinch might sit Yordan, but he is back in the lineup. He looks as lost as Tucker right now

The one guy getting robbed IMO is Yuli who has been making hard contact, hitting line drives, but always right at someone.

Yeah I heard Hinch say tonight is a bullpen game, Cole for 7 if needed.

Wouldn't have said they couldn't hit anything...they had some seriously tagged shots, but the problem was hitting them RIGHT AT SOMEONE. And this was two games in a row where our catcher took one right to the wall...just a few feet more is all I ask. Is that asking too much?

I really wish we would throw Cole tonight. Sadly, he is due for a clunker. Do we REALLY want to be risking it in a winner-take-all game? Let him pitch tonight and then, if need be, tomorrow turns into an ALL HANDS ON DECK game. I guarantee that even JV and Cole would be able to go an inning if needed in that scenario...

No way. Cole isn't "due" a clunker. Tonight we can still win but the bats have to come alive. After the first inning Verlander shut them down.
 
Starters are Brad Peacock and Chad Green

Peacock will be tasked with facing at least LeMahieu, Judge and Torres.
He got LeMahieu and Judge in Game 5.

I literally love that guy



Ken Rosenthal: Why did you ask your teammates not to tear your shirt?

Jose Altuve: Last time they did that, I got in trouble with my wife.

Wife and son and I are sitting here talking about how the NY fans the other night were chanting “F**k Altuve” like the low class POS fans they are. I hope they like the taste of this one.
