    If I had an Astros themed party, I would play only Nickelback because there would be no hits.

    We have 3 hits through 6 against the A's... in a crucial game. Good idea to go for the better draft pick than get punked in the playoffs anyhow. Every player on this team looks like they just got dumped and don't care anymore.

    I mean we not only lose, we don't compete...and that is just not acceptable.

    We could have rescued him if he played us. Still gets a playoff spot in any case.

    You’ve got Yordan and Pena out while Paredes is trying to play with no rehab stint and still not 100%. Altuve had a huge July but other than that he’s been ass. Walker is your cleanup hitter tonight with a sparkling .697 OPS.

    You’re not going to be good when you have that going on in addition to our inability to play small ball, steal bases and thrive in situational hitting. That’s how the Guardians win, but again, even they would be dead if their best player JRam was out like our guys.

    Meanwhile on the pitching side, you’re missing your $20M closer and a leverage arm. Walter was looking like a solid #2 or #3 option before going down. Who knows what happens with Arrighetti if he never breaks his thumb. Then you have Framber who has melted down the past two months.

    TLDR - This team just isn’t good. The injuries are just too much.

    Pulling for a Cal Raleigh 3 run go ahead homer here so he can sew up that MVP award. Judge can GFH.

    You pretty much nailed it. You have to shake your head at some of the injuries we have had happen. Wonder how Yordan is doing with the ankle sprain from stepping on the plate ?

    The Dodgers bullpen is an abject disaster.

    Cole has lost it....unbelievable I don't think we have a batter that strikes fear in an opposing pitcher.

    Seattle 4-3 bottom 8

    I do believe the Mariners are winning the world series. Unless the Blue Jays can stop them, but I don't think so.
