    Meyers catches Riley's double in the 8th. Not only does he have more range than Dubon, but he starts 6 ft deeper on average per baseball savant.

    I realize Dubon has been playing well, but Dana Brown and thecirganization said Jake was going to be the man in CF.

    He has done nothing to lose his playing time but has only started 4 of the last 9 games.

    Drastic times calls for drastic measures.

    Thought the same thing. The team is miserable right now, cheers all three games louder for Braves than the Astros.

    Time for a “Choke City” headline perhaps?

    Tank and fire sale this damn team. #RunItBack with Hinch and Luhnow next year.

    We can lose 120 games and other fans will still give us hell on the road. Tell MLB they can eat **** and suck my Azn dick!! LOL

    Screw it, bring up Loperfido, and leon. Hide abreu except for a day here and there(stuck with him, unless he retires). Trade bregman for prospects, he looks like he wants out anyway. Tell bagwell to go back to sitting behind home play with biggio, and stay away from the front office. I can’t believe Crane let that guy have this much influence. I was wrong about Espada, atleast Porter had the excuse of having nobody outside Altuve.

    Abreu with a negative WAR of over negative 1 and the only one to do so at this point of the season on the team takes lots of talent

    - Terrible defense (and offense) by Abreu
    - Dubon in CF with a late lead
    - Pressly unimpressive
    - The uncanny ability to not score in extra innings
    - Astros had 3 GIDPs / Atlanta 0

    They could also ‘Loper’ my ‘Fido’. Desperate times call for desperate measures

    If he was hitting .330, this team would be 9-11 at worse.

    Someone needs their head to roll tomorrow.
    Espada, hitting coach, pitching coach, Dana, abreu?
    I don’t give a **** who it is but a message needs to be sent.
    The players need to know their shitty play has consequences.

    Why spend money when we are letting Loperfido rot in AAA? I would rather sign Brad Lidge out of retirement to never see Joel Kuhnel ever again.

    You are not wrong.

    But Abreu is a huge part of it. In every single loss, that he has played, you can point to a negative he is responsible for that tipped the scales that far further down.

    If we release Carlos Gomez for batting .210, we can exile Abreu for batting sub .080.

    Seriously, can we get Pressly an MRI or something. I wonder if he's hiding an injury. Or maybe he's tipping and our coaching staff is so bad they can't see it.

    Just need Tucker, Valdez, and Bregman to play well so they can be traded to rebuild the farm system.
