if the review was just a rule check why was the call changed? not that it mattered in the long run.

Do a "rules clarification" means they can change the call now. That's bulk*****

"Rules clarification"

That was a pretty weak explanation.

Rondon can go right back off the roster.

Agree. No better place to see if James can be trusted for the rest of the year.
Yep. Would people rather Rondon be in?


I would, yes.


I take it you didn't want him on the roster then? If you can't throw him there, might as well have carried Straw. Personally, I think that was played correctly. Right to let him go, and right time to pull him.

Still shaking my head at the timing of his entrance though.

Rondon vs the season MVP isn't what I call an advantage for the Astros...

Why is Rondon even on the playoff roster? He's been terrible for a month

****ty effort all the way around, I hope we get it out of our system

And that's why putting James in was a give up move.

We should demand all audio recordings be released

So umpires do not know rule that if ball hits batter in batter box that it is foul? I am buying that explanation

I'd rather have had James face Betts honestly. Rondon has been putrid for a while now

With the way he's pitched over the last month or so leading up to the playoffs, I'm not sure why Hinch even put him on the roster, much less brought him in to pitch in a high leverage situation.

You are correct, I wouldn't have put him on the roster. If he wasn't good enough to be on your team all year, why the hell is he good enough for the postseason?

because Rondon let his inherited runners score?

It's clear he's conceding the game and getting people some mound time.

Long road to hoe now.

Well, we did accomplish what we were supposed to - split the first 2 games. Frustrating game for us for sure. Teams like Boston will make you pay for your mistakes.

Hopefully we can apply pressure to Kimbrel and get in his head a little bit. Would be really great if Bergman could see him - would be huge down the line like last year against Jansen.

Abysmal effort by the team tonight. Looked happy with the first game win going home.

They're not even going to have to ****ing use Kimbrel.

Mookie is the most punchable player I've seen. Hip shake after a hit? What a *****!

This game isn't remotely on Hinch. It was on Cole. End of discussion.
