Here's who deserves the credit for the Astros' bullpen success
ASTROS ROUNDTABLE
23 October 2019
The Astros may not have the most highly regarded bullpen in the playoffs, but they sure performed well against the Yankees helping Houston reach the World Series for the second time in three years.
In Game 1 of the World Series, Houston's bullpen came through again and didn't allow any runs against the Nationals.
ESPN 97.5's John Granato, Lance Zierlein, and Raheel Ramzanali discuss if the players or A.J. Hinch deserve the most credit for the bullpen's success in the playoffs.

The Houston Astros placed catcher Victor Caratini on the concussion injured list on Wednesday, putting the AL West leaders in a bind behind the plate.
Yainer Diaz, another Houston catcher, is day to day with a left wrist injury. He was hit by an errant pitch from Craig Kimbrel while catching in the eighth inning of Sunday’s 3-2 loss at Baltimore.
The Astros recalled catcher César Salazar from Triple-A Sugar Land, and he got the start for Wednesday night’s game against Colorado.
Caratini took a foul ball off the mask during the ninth inning of Tuesday’s 6-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Caratini is batting .262 with a career-high 43 RBIs, while matching his career high with 11 homers in 95 games this season.
Diaz is batting .257 with 18 homers and 55 RBIs in 116 games this season.
Yainer is getting another day off as Salazar is starting the finale against the Rockies.
Good afternoon.
