    Yeah with a 8 run lead you would think they would turn down the bias dial.

    I have seen this team score 9 and 11 in a single inning. And in the 9 run inning Bregman just missed a grand slam that would've scored 13. Crazy to say, but this Astro lineup is never out of a game. Bullpen needs to hold.

    I keep thinking about the Maybin play, and I get angry. I can't tell if he really couldve gotten to it or not. The only thing I can think of is he realized he couldnt get to it and instead of diving and risking it rolling to the wall he wanted to play it off the bounce. If he couldve gotten that ball his ass needs to sit the rest of the playoffs.

    Right. He has to make a better effort to catch that ball. This is the ALCS not the dog days of summer.

    I have to assume Dave is a Boston Red Sox fan. Looks like you had it coming on two sides. At least what's thread is still alive.

    Should have been yanked, can't have anything other than 100%.

    Me neither and I don't want to hear about MMP and the short fence in left. Right field is a joke in this park. The swing that dopey ass peyton manning looking frazier knocked out of the park was weak as hell.

    Alright, if Astros can’t get to Gray tmrw then I’m going to be super concerned going forward. Guys just don’t look comfortable and haven’t since early on in Boston series.

    Gattis is low key mediocre as catcher. Should've played Centeno and DH'd Gattis. Remove Maybin from the picture altogether except as pinch runner.

    Yankees might be better than us. They barely lost the two games in Houston and then are blowing us out tonight.

    Part of it is how Gattis framed the pitch, not doing very good jobs on framing for pitches on the edges.

    I’ve seen enough. McHugh should have started.

    Even though it was one inning, I think McHugh should start a potential Game 7 (assuming it would be Keuchel in Game 5 and Verlander in Game 6)

    Yankees have a better bullpen and that's about it. Astros been kicking their asses the last couple of years or so.

    Well I was irritated I could not watch this game. Blubber butt shutting us down while uncle Charlie f*cked the dog.

    On to game 4 I guess. So far that is 22 innings and only 4 runs. Guys. That sh*t ain't going to cut it.
