    I felt like they should’ve taken Walter out much earlier

    I honestly think Espada was relieved we didn't tie it in the 9th so he wouldn't be forced to use more relievers.

    With LMJ going tomorrow, we can expected the unexpected and the bullpen will probably be burned.

    Once we got the lead, we should have put in Hader and company.

    Which would mean no sense in using your best relievers. Joe F’d up in this one.

    All losses are "bad," but this one is especially disappointing.

    Losing one game to the Rockies feels like a series lost.

    I'm expecting a 10-2 scoreline tomorrow with LMJ on the mound

    Walker has 93 k’s already

    that is ****ing putrid

    he is jose abreu part 2

    Astros still paying Abreu this year

    1st base = 40 mil for a pace of .215 20 HR .645 ops 180 k’s.

    So disappointing. However, the Astros' record is impressive considering all the injuries and poor performances. Diaz is another giant disappointment after having a catcher who couldn't hit for so long.

    Feels like this wounded bunch is due some L’s heading into L.A. Let’s hope they can get to the All-Star break still #2 in the AL. at Dodgers, then home to CLEV & TEX to close out the 1st half

    Gotta hope that Walker can pull an Abreau and have a great post season.

    So,1 run victories are a product of the team/talent, Espada gets no credit, but one run losses, all on Joe. He's trash, got it.

    Its Joes fault! He's complete trash for not roping a double in the 7th! Complete trash manager! (excuse me while I go touch grass outside)

    Walker OPS+ is 81. Abreu last year was 3.


    So... this is an upgrade of many fold.

    Yeah anyone is way better than the Abreu’s 2 months on the team last year.

    FTR I wanted a retread. (Showalter) You fan how you want to fan but we're 17 games over .500, probably should be 4 games over .500 battling with SEA for the division. It's been pretty ****ing impressive to date and yes IMO Espada gets credit, good and bad.

    It wasn't too long ago: "he's not a leader" "the players have no fire" "they need a real leader, better hurry up and fire him" but lately not a ****ing peep of that ****.

    Fun series. I got to go to last night's game and today's game. It was so friggin' hot out there, but damn the stadium was heavily orange and loud for the Stros' which was fun. Not sure how it is at Daikin these days, but I parked about 5 minutes from the stadium and made one right turn and had a straight shot back to my house. I can't imagine how long it would take me to get home from Daikin at 4pm on a weekday.

    You had declared last night's game a must win and thank goodness they won to save the season for one more day. I was busy with work today, but I assume by your anger here that today was also a must win. Please tag Castor to get the offseason thread going.

    Only winning 12 1 run games in a row is definitely hallmark of a trash manager. Get me a half decent manger that will win us a baker's dozen 1 run games in a row.
