    That was probably our best shot, an Altuve blast for the walk off

    Outside of Yordan, it’s going to be the most impactful loss. This team doesn’t win many blowout games and they win a lot of close games - hence the reason Hader was used in all those multi inning outings.

    Our middle relief hasn’t been good since early in the season. The drop off is huge between Hader and whomever is now having to pitch in a tight game (Okert, King, Sousa, etc.) because he’s out.

    TV: Brown and Deshaies were the best in the 90s+

    Milo just kinda always sucked, because he was a massive jackass, but I'm not sure who was with him other than Dierker before he became manager.

    At least Joe has learned his lesson and didn’t send Abreu back out there.

    IMO this team isn’t going to be a top 2 seed. The division is relatively meaningless if we aren’t getting a bye. At this point we need to just focus on keeping the guys we have healthy and getting those that have come back and those coming back to shake off the rust.

    For the record Bob Prince announced for the Astros in 1976. I think Milo hated him and he was gone.

    Kind of defeats the purpose of turning the game off if you are still going to follow the game and post on here about it. That said, you do you.

    We must score, I don't want to see what pitcher we put out there in the 11th. Nobody does.

    Please get this over with.

    A walk off and it’s a 1 1/2 game lead.
