If James is left off it is a HUGE mistake. I think they should go with 12 pitchers. The Clev series will be a battle to score runs consistently anyhow.
We don't need Straw as we have Kemp and Marisnick for speed
Kemp hasn't done squat in nearly a month. I had rather have Straw and Jake is a lock. You want your best centerfielder in the game in the late innings. |

Hinch did exactly what I wanted resting the main guys. I know a lot of people get down on him for some reason, but after leading us to our first championship he followed it up by leading us to our best season record. All while managing to rest guys, cater to a few egos, and not freak out when we hit some low times.
Basically everybody we need got going some by the end of the season, and we're going to be almost completely healthy come next Friday. It's hard to imagine us being in a much better position than we are now.
He may not be the best manager in baseball, but I'm not sure the Astros have had better.

He is the perfect manager for the Astros. I think everyone in the clubhouse would say that. |

us in October last season. Except for Gregerson, and Harris to a lesser extent. Hopefully this postseason the players will play up to their roles |

It'd be nice if AJ didn't have to drag his team across the finish line like last year. Giles stands out in memory, but folks forget that every middle reliever on the staff failed

Deshaies in the holster even though the '86 champion Mets were weak against LHP. I'm sure Scrap passed that along at some point in their conversations and Hinch
made note of it |

Phil Garner deserves a lot of credit too. He and AJ are best buds, and Garner was there in 1986 when Hal Lanier kept turning to his failing middle relievers, leaving

Does the article say that Garner’s advice led to how he managed the bullpen last postseason? |

So you’re saying the MOY should’ve gone to Garner?
