    We're not going to give the Dodgers the satisfaction of facing them in the next series. They are going to have to play those other guys and lose! Bwahahahahahaha!!!!

    That was an unnecessary hug from Baker? I think the Stros trying to cover for him like hiding Verlander's injury.

    Wow the 2nd game in a row a backbreaking double play costs the Astros the game. First Yuli and now Springer

    The good news is that we will have the home crowd to get us going in game 3.

    Edit: And we get the night game tomorrow. No more shadow games.

    Can't have a badass comeback to win a series without being in the hole first.

    Who is with me?

    Way too early to give up on him. I am getting some Mark Appel vibes though...

    Braves are no joke. If we lose, I hope the Braves pull it off. Misery loves company.

    He's had a bum arm since before his last start.

    Appel just gave up. Injuries also. Different situation. But I think the bust label. Adderall problem. Is looming over him

    Bregman how could you swing on the first pitch when the pitcher just walked two batters? That’s inexcusable.

    We have had 4 critical at bats in the 8th and 9th inning this series and we are 0-4. If we are 1-4 we are probably tied in the series and if we are 3-4 we are probably up 2-0. Springer, Yuli, Bregman and Altuve, so most of our big names have had a shot.

    We’re not getting out played but we’ve either ****ed ourselves in the field or smoked the ball at someone. So optimistically if we start getting some breaks or creating some, we can strike right back. I thought Astros in 6 which now seems unlikely but a lot of baseball left.

    Also Josh James saved once again. He should be fresh for close and late tomorrow. Things are looking good.

    Then Altuve would be DH and Diaz would be at 2nd?

    It’s good to have a completely fresh Josh James. I’d like if he was always fresh, all the time, safe on some couch somewhere far away from the stadium. That way we know we have him fresh and he’s just a (hopefully very long) cab ride away.

    Grienke named game 4 starter. Grienke/Javier tandem or if we stay alive, Javier game 5?
