Well find out next inning *assshole puckers thinking about Kimbrel coming in*

They finally fucking arrived.

DON'T STOP NOW BOYS

That's how you beat the astros...just don't let them put any in play.  Outstanding 3 innings from Tepera and Bummer.

That was fucking filthy. 

So far, I gotta say, home field definitely mattered. I was wrong. 
 

Theres no chance these guys come back from 5-1 in Houston.

Who gets the 8th:

Bummer

Kimbrell

Crochet

Hendriks

3 up - 3 down. This was the script as I recall.

Waino made a real good comparison for Bummer. He should look at Andrew Miller and not Zack Britton as the model going forward. Bummer's sinker hasn't been anywhere near as good as before, but his slider has been money. 

I would give Bummer the first two batter next inning and then Hendriks

Please no Kimbrel. Please no Kimbrel. Please no Kimbrel.

Bummer has done well in his six multi-inning appearances this season. With 14 pitches, 11 for strikes, I'd have him start the eighth and have Hendriks warmed up and ready.

Lol anyone suggesting Lynn start game 5 needs to get their head checked

if Lucas can go it's him, but I would think a straight bullpen game could be in the cards, don't give Houston more than 1AB for each pitcher

Giving a guy who usually pitches one inning 2 innings is risky, no matter how good he looked.

I agree, the really good version of Bummer showed up tonight so use him.

Seriously. Kimbrel needs to sack the fuck up and do his job. Have Hendriks warming. It’s time to earn your paycheck. 

you all know its gonna be kimbrel, right?

 

I just don’t know if you can put Kimbrel in this spot, as bat shit as that sounds…especially coming from me..

Christian Javier is saving the Astros bullpen.

Even another run would be nice!

lol a guy whose whole value was being used in the playoffs is now the biggest question mark in the bullpen. Great trade Rick.

Kimbrel is warming up.

Hallion is bad…evergreen

Kimbrel getting loose
