Lose this one and it's all over for the Astros.




not sure if serious youa re guaranteed to get back to H town no matter what happens in NY now.

lose this. meh. game 5 will turn into a must win tho. maybe not mathematically but realistically.

why? you won't have verlander at home now.

you go up 3-2 you can save cole for a possible game 7.

if you lose game 5 with verlander, cole game 6?

then johnny wholestaff game 7? wow. AJ is rolling dice but I like it. he has faith astros will win game 5 then have 2 shots to close out at home, one of which will be cole.

We need those dead balls to do their thing tonight. Any well hit ball to right center is going to have a chance at getting carried out. The bad news is that in Greinke's 3 starts against the Yankees this year his flyball to groundball tally was 34-13 and 15-3 in his game 1 start.

Against Tanaka this year, our offense has gone 29-25 in favor of ground balls.

No, it wasn't serious.

Admittedly I don't like the idea of Cole pitching on short rest if game 6 is an elimination game. I also don't like the idea of pitching Urquidy/Peacock in game 6 in an elmination game.

So, I do think that Hinch's current strategy is putting a LOT of pressure on winning another game in NY. It CAN be done, just have to go out and do it.
