    Dusty won't bunt with a runner at second and no outs at home in extra innings, but he's John f-ing McGraw today.

    Those last 2 ABs were symbolic of Baker as a manager

    That was an extraordinarily bad ab from Altuve. Jesus Christ. Sorry to be so negative, sunshine pumpers.

    Castro is easy out, zero chance he gets a hit

    I’m a realist. Yes, both teams are good. And the most likely scenario was that one team was going to win 2 out of 3.

    while I’d like to see starting pitching be lights out every series, the reality is that good teams tend to hit good pitching.

    more often than not, fans will give more credit to their hitters when they hit (vs bad pitching) and discredit their pitchers when they get hit (vs credit opposing teams approach/hitters). It’s fascinating.

    Wouldn't it be nice to have stassi . We gave him up for free just like we did to straw. Dumb moves

    his ABs are just so inconsistent in terms of his approach. One AB he’s working the count and the next first pitch pop up on a pitch down and away

    Pretty much

    Every loss is a sign of disaster or some embarrassing failure.

    Do you feel like we’ve hit good pitching this season consistently

    He should have PH there. No real pressure. But high reward if he gets a hit.

    dusty not playing him for awhile will be a for sure dig at Click for being force fed.
