    KC realized they don't need to play small ball and just go out there and hit. They ain't even bunting like last week.

    You did, and I doubt they score again this series.

    This team isn’t going to get right until Bregman and Tucker are back in the lineup and producing.

    even if they do get back, idk if there's enough games to get their timing down.

    I think Maton has upside. I’m not sure why Click traded for Garcia though. We have plenty of mediocre relievers already.

    Summary:
    Down 2 to 1, Stros had a chance, twice, to take the lead with men on 2nd and 3rd. Their best hitters Brantley and Alvarez wiffed, both times.
    Yimmy gets a 4 strike walk, chaos ensues.
    Roll credits.
    That's baseball.


    Tucker has missed 10 days not 3 months. He will get his groove back. Alejandro's swing looks good. His power will be what continues to suffer, just walk, hit doubles and singles. The thing about Tucker for me is how do we prevent him from catching the cooties again for a 3rd time? Wish the Astros read Nick's post. He had it outlined pretty well.

    You could tell the first batter who walked when the HPU ****ed Yimi over completely unraveled him. That was disappointing to see. Even a Strom mound visit couldn't cure him.

    He and Maton and Stanek and Taylor and Raley and Javier (he's still on the team, right?) need to get it all together pronto.

    5-3 Mariners with 1-2 pitch and 2 outs- 2 RBI single. Night time redemption.

    A's choked, Mariners never led. Lose and a win = draw.

    Yeah that really bothers me. When they made the trades for Gallo and Rizzo I laughed bc I thought it looked desperate. I didn't think they were completely done, but I definitely didn't see this coming.

    I wouldn't care, but we've been trash lately :mad::(
