Tough loss, boys, but this series doesn't go back to KC & Dallas does lose at home. I'll leave it at that.
You sound fun to party with. You got tickets for Sunday? I'm sure a number of people would like your tickets if you have that attitude.
I feel like he pretty blatantly meant "doesn't"

Y'all are much more optimistic about McCullers than I am apparently. I'd rather have Fiers start that game...

Fiers should have gone in after Kazmir. Your 6+ era guy shouldn't pitch in a meaningful playoff AB.
I at least appreciate the response of what you would have done. I can see an argument there. The counter-argument is we might need Fiers in game 4 if McCullers struggles, and Harris and Perez did their jobs yesterday.
I guess the thing that baffles me is that this team is not loaded with All-star talent. Even if it was, we ARE in the playoffs. But the only reason I can think of to have this level of Hinch criticism from such a vocal minority is if we were loaded to the brim with All Star talent and didn't make the postseason.
He only has a certain group of position players and pitchers to work with. I think he has over-achieved with what we have. Shouldn't you be bashing Luhnow, if anybody? (which again I think would be equally ridiculous)

If Fiers pitched two innings tonight, he would still be able to pitch something on Monday as a long reliever. Starting would be out, but Mccullers should get the nod anyways. If that was truly Hinch's plan, then he's really poor for the postseason... You play to win the game you're in, not two games away.
If Hinch really wanted the lefty matchup, he should have gone with Sipp in hindsight.
But pitchers aside, the game was lost on the shift. That is a managerial decision.

Okay so in this LAD game you have the shift on and the catcher is setup outside. I really don't understand this. So easy to just slap the bat and push it to opposite field.

Don't see how it was his fault...just had some unlucky bounces.

Anyone else headed to the juice box tomorrow?
I will be bringing the hate from section 155

Anyone heard from the Astros about ALCS tickets yet? The random drawing should take place today with codes going out on the 13th. There is already a ticketmaster link to ALCS tickets on their website with a place to enter the passcode.

Did you have to enter separately for the alcs tickets? Or if i entered the lottery for the wild card/alds tickets will my name already be in there?
quote:Ditto. I picked up a gray & blue shirts. I don't think I owe anything that is orange.
I'll be there but I has no orange...
