THSfanatic Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Just heard Hinch trying to explain pulling Greinke. Made no sense. He said Greinke gave them more than they ever expect. You really just traded for a elite pitcher with 2 more years and u pull him with 70 pitches. Seriously ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ1000 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Shame for the loss. I like the stros but seeing the Rangers one out away is heart breaking. Good series. Houston will be back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETXfan16 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 That was a great world series. I know it hurts for Stros fans, but you'll be back next year most likely. Congrats to the Nats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he feels like we could have won if we put him in the game...All we needed was two outs from Harris and Cole was in to close the game...We were two outs from winning a World Series in my mind...

Grienke should have never been pulled. You got this guy to be one of your elites & you pull him after 70 pitches of 1 run ball. You can spin it but you can't really sell it.

THSfanatic Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 But it was a great year for the Astros. I don't buy the theory that it was all a failure. Washington played better. I just wanted a steady contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already removed himself from the team, and wasn't even going to talk to reporters last night as an Astro. That's a huge blow if they can't bring him back. I honestly don't know if he's worth $35 million, because he's only had three outstanding seasons. 1 with Pitt and two with the Astros, but he'll get it. If the Astros offer it, he would be stupid not to take it, because of the taxes and cost of living in Cali. He could afford a house there in the off season so I don't know why he wants to head back so bad. It's going to be tough keeping this team together though. They have 4-1 odds for being the World Series Champions next year, and usually a team that wins has a setback season. We'll see how it goes.

I know the Florida Marlins did most recently. The Washington Senators won in 1924, and they were also referred to as the Nationals or Nats. I know the Nationals were once the Expos, but... Looking back the Boston Americans, New York Giants, Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Athletics, Boston Red Sox, Boston Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Washington Senators, St.Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Braves*, Baltimore Orioles, New York Mets, Oakland Athletics*, Minnesota Twins, Toronto Blue Jays, Florida Marlins, and Arizona Diamondbacks. *won in another city.

Lost to the Phillies 4-1 I was looking at 115 World Series in less than two minutes, so I must have missed that. So Seattle is the only team to never have been in a World Series. I don't remember the Seattle Pilot's, but I do know they became the Milwaukee Brewers who have never won a World Series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveTV1 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Colin McHugh said goodbye to Houston today. https://twitter.com/collin_mchugh?lang=en . He had one solid season in 2015, but he's been injury prone. I think he's wanting more money than what the Astros will offer him. I doubt he'll find it anywhere else.

If he wasn't constantly injured I would agree with you. I think he wants to return to being a starter, but I don't know if he can return to that role.

At least for another couple of years...Verlander and Greinke have two more years. McCullers has until 2022 I believe. Anyone else has a lot of time before hitting FA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
