As a huge Astros fan for 40+ years. I. Beg to differ with you on repeating without consistency from the pen. The playoffs are different from the regular season. Just see last year the weakest pitcher the Astros have is Giles. He, just like last year will not pitch much if any. You shorten the games in the playoffs. Our starters are only going 6 innings right now. We have the best staff in the game so verlander, Morton, Cole and even keuchel can go 7, then you bring in McCullers as an extra bullpen arm since he has already proven he can do it. The issue they are having is hinch is trying to rest arms at the break and only having started go 5 or 6. Verlander could have gone 7 or 8 last night and in a normal world would have so the Giles mess wouldn’t have been an issue, mchugh Rondon or peacock could have pitched one or two innings. Game over

Old pitching records will never be broken...kinda sad strikeout records, complete games, etc will never be sniffed

Giles wasn't the same shut-down guy that he was in the regular season last year once the playoffs started where he gave up 10 earned runs in 7 2/3 innings.. and it carried over into this year.

A 4.99 ERA from your 'closer' isn't going to cut it.. the guy has issues, and punching yourself in the face or cussing out your manager isn't going to fix them.. Being sent down may be exactly what he needs so he can figure out what's going on.. is he tipping pitches? maybe... the way he has been pumping the strike zone is good for your K/BB ratio, but it also allows hitters to square you up more often. Hopefully he can learn a change up in the minors
