Over managing.

Lance and Keuchel should have the leash to get out of their own jams before they are pulled.

Not a big deal sometimes, but for what seems like the 20th game in a row, it's a big deal

Lance looked gassed to me. Super wild on that 4 pitch walk.

With Devo going two yesterday he wasn't available. Feliz has been pretty reliable. Normally strike out prone Carter does his usual swing over the pitch and we're out of this thing. But the Yankees are still a darn good team.

WHY DON'T WE TRY ANOTHER FASTBALL DOWN THE MIDDLE MAYBE THEY WON'T KNOCK THE CRAP OUT OF IT THIS TIME

Feliz has now allowed his last six inherited runners to score.

Not fresh off the DL. Not even halfway through the season yet.

Starters HAVE to go 6. Lance is a stud, but he has to be able to go 6 at minimum. Even on a night when his stuff isn't there.

I don't know why hinch continues to put in feliez with people on base. The guy has no clue where his off speed stuff is going that's why he always pipes fastballs because he aims the slow stuff with runners on base

It's a big deal because it's been done 20 times in a row AND because McCullers does this shlt every time he starts. 5 innings, 1-2 runs, and off to the BP to save him.

If Feliz tees another one up for Judge it's going to Conroe.

dude... mccullers was over 100 pitches, had a recent stint on the dl, and couldn't find the strikezone. that was absolutely the right call to yank him

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree, look at the scoreboard.

Okay it seems not very smart to leave in Feliz against Judge

So the starter, one of the best pitchers in the league, gets pulled.. yet the reliever gets left in after every single batter makes solid contact on him.

Hinch has been great this year, but once again.. you let McCullers take care of his own mess.

You're right. This offense isn't worth a flying fck.

False. He was at 95, and gets ground balls 67% of the time.


ok, so 95. he was likely still working on a pitch count with it being his second game back from the DL. Plus he walked his last batter on 4 pitches to put 2 guys on with 1 out.

Healthy Lance? sure let him work one more batter. Nothing wrong with how that was managed.

We're hitting well tonight. Still have a great chance at this one.

I actually surprised they let him get to 95.

Feliz making a mess of this.

Well this is a ****ing **** show. At some point somebody on this ****ing team has to go 6+ consistently.

friggin crap Feliz. Deserved every bit of those boos and more. Don't know why Hinch left him in so long.

Game changed instantly with Lance out. Major backfire. He got it wrong.

**** Feliz. From where I'm sitting that ball bounced 2 ft in front of the plate. Ballgame.

Hard to have a more garbage inning than Feliz just did.

97, and he had just walked a man in four pitches.

Hindsight is great and all. Hinch has been pulling most of the correct punches this year. We have a double digit lead on the league. **** happens.

Ya, he's shown zero signs of being able to recover a bad start to the inning.

With Devo unavailable, a gassed Lance is your best option to get out of that inning.
Beat40

You think a guy that looks gassed, who has recently come off the DL, ahould stay out there with 1 out, guy on 2nd and 1st, right at 100 pitches, AND had a history of going on the DL each year since been in the majors should have stayed out there?

I guess if you don't need him for the playoffs then he should stay out there.

How about the dude also go 7 innings every once ins while?

I love the dude, but he's gotta go deeper into games.
Ag_07
How long do you want to ignore this user?

I think once he goes in and he's burned he's gotta let him get out of it and eat some innings. That's why relievers get a bit longer leash. When the starter goes 5 you can't just start yanking relievers every couple batters.

Now we're in the 6th on our 3rd pitcher.

No problem with pulling McCullers, but how many hits are you going to allow Feliz to give up before pulling him?

Bond, what worked for me was updating iOS. Besides that not sure what else to say. You're on the main Astros page though and not in the gameday screen, correct?
