    Whoa what the hell... It was 2-1 with two outs and I walked away and we are still in the same inning!

    Starting pitching should still be the goal for any acquisition.

    Springer is such a great defender.

    Who gives a **** now about the defensive play. They already blew this one by not knowing what a strike is and where the ball needs to be to get there

    OMG what a catch.

    That's why Springer plays right. It takes huge balls to run into a fence like that.

    Feliz threw 0 sliders for strikes... None .... All outs on fastballs... Yet he kept throwing it over and over and over.

    Have you been watching the same team for the last 2 months?

    That was a rainout, right?

    We've got 5 more innings to square this horsesh!t show up. Game on.

    Frustrating inning. Definitely underscores the team's greatest need moving forward. Still plenty of time--hopefully offense can break out and knock Gravemore out of the game

    Mike Fired :mad:

    Our bats will score more than 2, but will it be enough?

    Does everybody realize that they're still 6-4 against them on the year.

    Sure, not utter dominance like they have against the Angels... but far from a piss-poor result.

    I couldn't agree more they have to get an ace and another reliever ! When you look at the starting staff you have three maybe four good pitchers but none are great.

    Seen the Stros comeback from far worse. Never know how huge that play could be.

    Without better starting pitching the bullpen will fall apart by September. The only issue is that there aren't any good starters out there to be had.

    Crazy

    Hopefully Fiers will be gone soon.

    Wonder what's been going on with Feliz?
