The shitty part is they probably win that game with Bregman playing. He definitely makes the play Dubon whiffed on that ended up scoring and decent chance the way he’s swinging it he impacts the game on offense.
Yes I pray these gentlemen who get paid to do this and have spent a lifetime in the sport will finally figure out what we who post at Clutchfans have been trying to tell them
Arrighetti was below par. Crochet balled. Big 3 rested.... at least there's that. Astros run-diff doesn't suffer much losing by ONE run. Diaz really sh1tted the bed tonight and "no Bregman" hurt both offensively and defensively. Mariners lost.... so at least there's that too. Win tomorrow, and the next day. Win the series.
Crochet is the kind of pitcher the Astros could turn into an all star. Great stuff just on a shitty team
These are professionals making millions and have been in the majors for years and they haven't learned this? This one is inexcusable, a major missed opportunity. Crappy lineup to begin with. Chas has to go. He is in Abreu territory. Too many newbies in the lineup. And Diaz had an uncharacteristically bad night. Plus, Altuve and Alvarez needed to do more. This one STUNK.
That’s exactly right. He’s in the HOF where he belongs but he’s not top 10. His record isn’t much better than .500 and when he won his 300th game I think he had like 280 losses. He pitched for bad teams, sure. His 1.24 career WHIP is decent but not as good as most of the all time greats. He walked more than anyone ever will and it was a big problem for him in the 70’s during his prime.
Should've pitched around Luis Robert when he already had 3 hits including 2 bombs. And then not pinch hitting Singleton for Chas with a man on 2nd and 3rd but doing it later with no men on. I know we've won some 1 run games lately but Espada's record in 1 run games and decision making in close games is still horrendous.
