    Our guys have been just staring at pitches right down the middle with their bats on their shoulders...

    3 runs on 2 hits. JV gives up a total of 2 hits and we're trailing 3-1.

    2 hits, trailing 3-1. Wow.

    He'll probably hit a HR and we will lose 3-2

    The one thing Reddick couldn't do... Double play ball. Crushed any chance.

    Astros hitters are just overmatched against the dodgers pitchers. Yankees might have fared better.

    Zero reason to have Gattis bat now with 2 outs when it means Verlander can’t pitch. This is stupid.

    Why not just have Reddick bunt there? He couldn't hit a softball right down the middle at 50mph right now...

    Not sure why you'd use Gattis here, if he gets on you pretty much have to PR anyway.

    eta: forgot Springer was up next, this NLball b.s. is playing tricks on me

    2nd eta: Is Fisher even on the team?

    Houston may never win another major sports title ever again. This is so disheartening.

    If you’re Sequoia chopping swing is ever going to pay off, how’s the time Springer...

    What’s frustrating about Morrow is that he was a 90-92 guy until last year.

    There is no excuse for an 8 mph increase this far in your career this late.

    He is using. Plain and simple.

    Maybe.

    The Dodgers play with fire though. This type of variance doesn’t continue to work indefinitely.

    We’ll see I guess.
