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

"Vintage" Hinch would've too. He's learning.

Is there any doubt Gregerson would've blown that?

Good win men, I wasn't sure y'all had it in you when I had to go to meetings all afternoon, but you surprised me.

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.

Great job!

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).

In that nice article on Hinch he talked about his first year managing and doing something similar with a reliever and was so proud of himself but the media didn't notice and they had such an awful year it didn't matter.

Don't worry AJ....WE NOTICE!!!

So do yall think the numbers agreed with that squeeze bunt?

Who is gonna make the gif?

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.

---

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.

How do you know? We haven't had a save situation yet this year.

And I'm not saying I necessarily disagree. Just saying it's early to make this assessment.
