Give credit to Hinch for leaving Peacock in to close it. So many managers would have gone to their closer there just because.

Peacock > Giles in save situations
I hope this is the new normal after watching it be successful in the playoffs. I'm so tired of seeing a guy mow through the 7th and/or 8th innings only to be yanked robotically for the "closer". Get rid of the ridiculous "defined roles," and use Giles just as you would any other bullpen arm.iBrad said:

Absolutely...and if any team would go against conventional wisdom, it's this one. It doesn't hurt that our "closer" seems to get a case of the yips at least once every few outings (sometimes it costs us, many times it doesn't, especially during the regular season last year).YellAg2004 said:I hope this is the new normal after watching it be successful in the playoffs.

Not sure if this was mentioned previously, but there is a new AT&T Sportsnet app for the phone that works...I have already watched parts of a couple of games on it. As long as you have it in your cable package, you can stream it that way. I had no idea until I just stumbled across it.ClickClack said:irish pete ag06 said:
Has anyone ever talked to anyone in the know or gotten an explanation as to why AT&T Sports is not phocking available on a streaming service. I use Playstation Vue and MLB.TV with a DNS workaround to watch the Astros, but I have had lots of folks in my area who are older or casual fans who root for Rangers and Astros ask me how I watch them. Cord cutting is growing exponentially, especially with the younger crowds and the funnest team to watch in baseball is not available.
AT&T has a streaming platform (DirectvNOW) and it's not even available there! WTF.
Meanwhile the Rangers and Fox have been available for 2 seasons. Just irks me, man.
Agreed it's unacceptable how difficult they make it at times. It's 2018 get with it.
