Yeah, we left a ton of guys on base, but the real problem can be traced back to game 2 where Dusty, managing scared, just had to burn Javier. He, then, eschews Graveman for Javier tonight... whose effectiveness was eroded. And, the rest is history.
Nah it was pulling Grienke too early. He was doing just fine and I dont even think he would have batted. Dusty just pulled him
This team is Cooked. Probably lose tomorrow if not Tuesday for sure. Where did the hunger go?? Are the pressing because they think they need to prove they can so it without cheating? Is this simply a horribly timed cold streak?? I just don’t see Atlanta being some overpowering beast.
The turning point was letting B.Raley pitch with a 2-0 lead. All these bullpen invincibility is not going to last. Someone pushed the wrong button tonight.
11 runners LOB. We just choke when it counts. And it definitely counts tomorrow, so I expect us to choke. We’ll see what happens.
Can’t really blame the pitching this series. Offense has had so many opportunities to score with mostly nothing to show for it. Can’t win a series like that.
Well now we're truly in must-win mode. At this point you just win tomorrow and hope the offense wakes up in a big way to carry you through the series.
I rather these losers take the swing than sitting there and take the dam strike out...bunch of scared Chicken tonight
Despite Raley and Javier not having it tonight, the pitching was still good enough. 2 and 3 runs allowed B2B in Atlanta should be enough, but the Astros have managed just 2 runs total.
It’s baseball - the catch in Altuve ball , the horrible weather yesterday …The horrible ump yesterday…
Bright side... we secured a winning season in the playoffs for the second year in a row. 8-6 right now baby!
Astros Bullpen on fumes right now Why in the World was Zack Greinke pulled with only 4 innings When Greinke was pulled, no doubt the Braves were really happy. Like Game 7 when the Nationals won Greinke should've gone deep and save the bullpen, alas Dusty is terrible with pitching changes. AJ and Dusty are pretty much the same in strategy. Never trust Greinke, he is a soft tosser.
