The love affair Texags has with AJ Hinch boggles my mind

He Hinch'd it again

Kahnle in an elimination game? LOL

Said the guy watching from his couch as the team Hinch built from nothing battles for a spot in the ALCS.

Yep, I'd take Hinch again in a heartbeat, but it's never gonna happen

The game last night and the Dodgers-Phillies Game 4 are more proof the Manfred Man extra innings format sucks.

Play it straight up through 12, then run out the Manfred Man starting in the 13th.

If he hadn't jumped off Secretariat he might have a game to manage Sunday.

Think he'll let me join him on his couch to watch the ALCS?

I've got some ideas about how he can manage his pitching staff better next season. I hear AI is getting pretty smart these days

May want to run it by the commish first…I'm sure he doesn't have much room for error around benefiting from dubious technological advantages

I said the same last night. He's a stud, a horse and you managed the game like there was another game guaranteed.

Even if he gets Skubal to go just 1 more inning, you have Vest (your only reliable reliever on the team) for 8 and 9 and avoid the bridge inning with your untrustworthy relievers…which happened to be the inning that gave up the tying run.

Reading more today, Skubal was done. Sounds like he and Hinch both knew after the 5th that the 6th would be his final inning, and Skubal emptied the tank with his two fastest pitches of the night at just under 101.

Quote:
Hinch said it was an "easy decision" to take out Skubal at that point.

"After the fifth, I checked in on him how he was doing physically and emotionally, and we both knew that he had one left," Hinch said. "You know, he emptied his tank and obviously was emotional coming off the mound, and I think that signals exactly where we were in the game. He gave us everything he could."

Anyway... Go Jays! Go Brewers!
