    Wasn't low leverage today...he's earning his way back up the pecking order, which is nice.

    What sucks is we’re probably gonna get swept, and I feel like if Tucker hadn’t gotten sick the Astros probably win 2 of 3.

    Keep it at 1 run down and see what happens in the 9th.

    bregman not catching the infield fly ball and pena not being at 2nd base for the ground ball didn't help.

    Feels like it. Would be another deflating loss.

    Don't agree with burning Pressly here, even if he hasn't been getting work lately.

    He was probably hoping that he wouldn't be needed.

    This series needs to reflect poorly on Dusty to the FO. Team was completely unprepared and lackadaisical in a huge series. Not given the best chance to succeed either.

    If not its Hensley, Meyers, or Maldy to PH. Maybe Singleton will run into one.

    Dusty's gut told him Julks would save the day.

    When/how in the past was I unfairly harsh on Chas?

    And yes, I've seen enough to not need to b!tch about Dusty and Maldy constantaly. I would think those viewpoints are pretty ****ing well established.

    I'm hard on Diaz (and Pena, and Meyers, and Altuve, and Yordan, and Chas, and Tucker and..) when they do stuff that they shouldn't do. Because I want them to fix it and be better.

    Even if it is (supposed to be) a VERY easy play to make, I believe the rules state it has to be a hit if it never touches the fielder's glove.

    Their 6 and 7 hitters are 8 for 10. Wtf. They aren’t this good right? And our pitching hasn’t gotten this bad?
