The worst part is that we'll be on the ****ty side of a statistical footnote: Only team to lose all 4 home games in the WS.

Back to the politics board. Hopefully we aren't sitting here in just over 12 months and talking about President Clinton.

I'd be careful what you wish for if I were you.

I will say this...Grienke is a fckin stud with cajones the size of beach balls. Feel awful for him the way this shaked out.

This is promising for the remainder of that contract and great momentum for him for next season. If he would've laid am egg we'd all have been very concerned.

With this outing we saw he's still got it.

Can't believe we gave up 4 prospects to get Greinke only to pull him after 1 bad pitch in G7 of the WS while he was dealing a gem.

I feel bad for him.


This.

We left way too many guys on base this game. This one is not on Hinch.
He's responsible for the hitting philosophy, is he not?


The manager can only do so much when it comes to execution. We had several innings that ended with 1 or 2 guys on base that could have broken the game open, but it just didn't happen. Not sure what more Hinch could have done.

AJ is a dumbass and we couldn't hit with men in scoring position.

That and Joe Buck is a **** sucker.
Who is John Galt?

Grienke was absolutely worth the trade.

I think the worst part is the WS loss.

But I'm old fashioned like that.

Hinch had been very good, but he pulled a Dave Roberts. Greinke was dealing all night. Let him have the crappy part of the lineup. Just overmanaged tonight.

At least we don't have to rely on the Oilers for bad postseason stats anymore?

Swing at ball 4.


Either that or be that guy who watched strike 3 in game 7 of a World Series. Bad take!


If it was close to over the plate I'd agree with you. That pitch was in Alabama.

Re-sign Cole, lets get back there next year
Everyone says it is NOT happening. I hope they are wrong, too. Greinke stays another year, right? He had some very good games for us.

and you know looking back...Reddick's hot April was the opposite of a blessing in disguise.

it gave the front office the false confidence that he could be the right fielder all year and Tucker could stay in the minors until September. And in hindsight...Tucker should have been handed the everyday job at the all-star break, so he could be ready to contribute in the playoffs

And no more wasting five hours five nights a week watching sports. Least not till next year

And we still pulled him with 1 runner on, pitch count in 70's, and bottom of the lineup coming.

Massive fail.

Yes. Our guys will get to see "World Series Champions" under the their logo every day in the spring when they drive through the gate.

Grinke has dominated Kendrick and after him the Nats did nothing! For sure would have gotten to the eighth

This series is in the history books for sure. How in the hell did the road team win every single game?

Greinke is signed through 2021.

For some reason, this season felt quite stressful even though the Astros had 107 wins and made it to the World Series.

Not sure why I felt that way.

Jim Crane already said he isn't going to go over the luxury tax. To resign Cole we would have to do that. Pretty simple.

I feel awful for Greinke. He still had plenty of gas in the tank.

Can't help but wonder how the at bat/ game plays out if Greinke gets that strike call against Soto

and the Aledmys Diaz trade. Grade that a big "F"

he did not get a hit in 18 postseason games. Played in less than half of them. That trade bombed

I am not agreeing with pulling him, just acknowledging the fact that he stepped up to the occasion and lore

Can Greinke become player coach? Pretty sure he wasn't going to give Soto a pitch to hit and was mentally ready for Kendrick.
