[Official] Dodgers @ Astros

Joe gave it up. Putting in garbage bullpen pitchers. Astros need pitching.

 

Verlander says hello.

 

Just took the air out of this game

 

How’s his sore neck?

 

Even a blind squirl finds a nut once in a while.

 

On occasion, the Astros seem to lack that "killer' instinct. They win a couple of games, and then it is "vacation" time. Tenacity is the key to their past success. This season, they don't seem as driven. Maybe that is unfair. It is a looooooooong season and everyone gets tired. But if you love to play, and you are making millions, it would seem that you could maintain focus.

 

Josh Hader, Domingo Santana, Brett Phillips for Carlos Gomez , Mike Fiers.

Released JD Martinez and became Albert Pujols in Detroit. .300 30 Hrs 100 RBI
On the Red Sox won a World Series beating the Astros.

Traded Teoscar Hernandez for Francisco Liriano

If the Astros had Josh Hader, JD Martinez, Teoscar Hernandez. Astros maybe win 2 World Series Championships.

Even Domingo Santana, Brett Phillips would've contributed.

 

I think losing 1 game ground to Seattle based on the matchups is not the end of the world.

Good weekend overall for the Astros.

 

ORLY?

Tell me who we traded for Cole, Marwin, Pressly, McCann, Gattis, Giles...?

Now, there were also some terrible trades admittedly.

 

I think it felt more like that last year.

 

Dana Brown and Jim Crane need to do better.

 

On second thought, you may have a point, especially with the abundance of home losses. However, it is still happening this season. Maybe all teams do this. I just follow the Astros.

 

Add JV and Greinke

 

The same happened last year... mailing it in on game 3s of series...

 

We may not have any also due to butterfly effects of epic proportions..

 

Lately they're throwing at his knees and I wonder if it's in his head a little bit.

 

I had no issue with Espada pitching Dubin and Bryan king.

Pitching Pressly in the 8th doesn't guaranteed the offense will comeback. Plus, I had a feeling Espada was saving Pressly (had the game been 1 run game in the 9th) as a closer since Hader pitched yesterday.

 

It's been a while since we've won a game on Sunday. It seems like I look forward to a loss on Sundays.

 

We don't have that killer middle relief like we've had in the past.
