announcers going in depth over every Yankees injury, touting how they are still doing well despite it all.

not a mention of how the Astros rotation is in shambles, wth the stros still well on top of the league

could have should have 3 homers that inning

Marisnick bailed him out on that one pitch AB

Scott farkas with the double

And the streak of bullpen overusage continues. How many games are we up to now?

Hinch had a chance to save the bullpen and he pulls Martes at 89 pitches. Sometimes guys have to learn how to work out of jams.

This ump is ****ing trash

Even the homer announcers thought those 2 pitches were strikes

Bullpen sucks again. Should have left Martes in.

Geez, all these hits with 2 strikes...

riiiight because martes definitely didn't have trouble getting anyone out that inning

Um....he did a helluva lot better than Harris.

Yeah, I think Harris was the right call there. This series is really getting old.

Hinch is obsessed with ensuring a starter that pitches relatively well will at worst get a no decision and not get the loss.

Notice that the pitching changes always come when the tying run gets on...so that the starter can't be charged with the eventual go ahead run and end up being the losing pitcher.

3 grand slams allowed by the bullpen in the last 5 games. That is absolutely unacceptable...

Or maybe the tying run reaching base is just a sign that things are getting out of hand.

Yes, I just renewed my subscription so I could post this face.

Boooooooooooooom

Carlos gets one back for us.

Then a nice double by Gattis off the padding in left.

Glad we got that guy out of the game. Hope we can throttle their bullpen now.

When we suck, we suck.

Wish he would've called that strike for Harris

Why does Sipp ever get in a game

Rookie homers first game

Please, can we dfa the entire bullpen after the game??????

BP ERA must have exploded in the last 5 games

Okay, I'm tired of that guys parents.

Face it. Until Astros get their better pitchers back this team is just another 500 ball club right now. That's just the way it is - not even that at home since they lost their msin starters with injury. Still nothing they can do about it until they get their pitchers healthy. The relief pitching and these huge innings they are giving up are maddening.

They will still win 92 -95 games based on the first half of the season and win the division, but just not the dominant team they were. Can't expect that kind of play with what they have to throw at batters right now.
