I knew it was over when Harris went out to pitch the 8th.......He sucks as as bad as Giles |

HAHAHAHA, after that HR Hinch was looking out like "Hmmmm, the clipboard didn't say that would happen"

Why the hell do we keep trash like Harris and Giles on the roster?  ?? |

Harris is so hot and cold in pressure situations. You can’t rely on him.

It’s not just Hinch. It’s baseball now. Managers are slaves to the stat sheet. There’s not enough going with your gut anymore.

Harris's HR/FB ratio is insane. It was 17.1% last year and he's approaching 15% this year.

The main problem I have with Hinch is his revolving door with Reddick, Marisnick, and Kemp. There is no reason why Jake should be a starter, yet there he is every other day. Make up your mind, skip.

Maybe it's time to talk about bringing him down the lineup again? Talking helped in the World Series  |

Gattis is slowly going back to the awkward hop AB’s.

I know the clipboard would disagree, but the eye test says Kemp would have done more for the team than Springer tonight. Hinch is always going to beat his chest over believing in Springer for the World Series, and there’s nothing we can say to argue about it. I don't think Hinch is doing that... |

I know we're all feeling negative, but we should remember that we're tied to be the best team in baseball. Just a little bit of a rough patch.
They'll get out of this funk.

I'm not really sold on the idea that Gattis will remain a reliable DH for the duration of the season. There needs to be a plan in place to replace Gattis should he revert to his old ways.
Internal options: Gurriel, Kemp, White, Davis
Trade option: Abreu, Granderson, etc

games not over yet. if you're dissatisfied with the Astros bullpen, just imagine being a Blue Jays fan.
Their pen is, generously, about 22nd best in the MLB. A very real chance of a comeback here.

Springer’s also only one AB away from a long slump. That’s how he rolls. His hitting is more of a rollercoaster than most hitters. It’s why I don’t get as mad at him as a guy who’s better like Altuve or Correa. |

At least Peacock has been a bright spot. This bullpen needs help, though. Even the average joe sportscaster isn’t sold on Giles. No one thinks as highly of Harris.

Oh is good but he'll be tired tonight. Has thrown two nights in a row coming into this game.
May as well give Kemp and White a chance to spark some Grizzlies magic this inning.
