    Take his azz out. Forget Abreu in a set up role.

    Montero out of commission today?
    Or is Presley out and they are saving Montero for the 9th?

    Unlucky bc of the botched double play but lucky he didn’t walk two runs in bc he was nowhere near the zone.

    Maton? this should be one for your best high leverage guy.

    I guess Montero and Stanek aren't available tonight. I didn't mind seeing Abreu in that spot. Need to see how he handles late inning situations and he still has a ways to go. Can't walk people in that spot. Didn't help the missed double play. Maton being the back up in this spot is not comforting though. Hope he can get through it.

    Wonder if he’s that wild warming up. I’m guessing no and his problems are in his mind.

    How in the world do you walk a batter on 4 pitchers, strike out the next guy, then walk in a run on 4 pitches?

    It did not. He needed to put some mustard on it. That’s where you miss Correa, Carlos was all urgency all the time w a cannon to boot.

    When some people were saying recently: Why doesn't Abreu get more high leverage innings?

    You just saw why.

    Altuve didnt do him any favors but man Abreu is rough. Not sure if it'll click for him tbh. His stuff is the only thing that keeps me even slightly optimistic
