    Scherzer won’t need to be brilliant to stymie our hitters tomorrow. They will be pressing and out of sorts like they were today, probably worse.

    What do they all have in common? Steroid users.

    Nobody is quitting but you can't ignore the home woes. This is just my opinion but you just absolutely can't sit and leave the bases loaded. There are several holes in our line up...the bottom 1/3 of the line up is an accident waiting to happen. Pena is a shadow of himself .Moldy. Tucker has been horrid..most disturbing is the nonchalant half motor shown tonight. Bregs is struggling as well. We'll see what we have tomorrow. We can win but we have to score runs if we are going to win.

    Absolutely. Told a friend of mine multiple times earlier today

    "Bats gotta win this game regardless"

    That is the feeling I have. Very disappointing. I am super upset with Tucker; it is like he is not even trying. If I was the manager, I might even sit him tomorrow.

    Dusty would never do this, but it's needed:

    2B Altuve
    DH Alvarez
    3B Bregman
    1B Abreu
    CF McCormick
    RF Tucker
    LF Brantley
    SS Dubon
    C Maldonado

    I would also like to give love to Framber. Very proud of him even with that fluke 2 run shot

    Yeah, Neris and Abreu should basically be off limits tomorrow.

    Javier needs to play well and offense needs to not suck.

    You sit tucker for game 7, you're trading him in the offseason.

    Springer wouldn't resign because they held him in aaa 6 years earlier, something all teams do...

    i still believe. keep hope alive

    but if they lose remember: Astros dont know you. Astros dont know you want them to win. This stuff doesn't really matter in the grand scheme. Astros dont affect your money or your family.

    going to kill a baby goat to exercise these MMP demons though

    What a horrific ending to this game. I'm pissed off at Baker. It's not the loss, although I hate losing. It's the way we lost, and that's on Dusty "may he sleep tonight in dirt" Baker. In my opinion.

    ****.

    He actually didn't pitch that bad, he did enough to keep you in the game. The bats on the other hand....

    One of the beat writers had something about him holding a grudge over his service time being manipulated.

    Never seen a manager throw a game this important, there was no possible good outcome... At home with our worst bullpen pitcher followed by our 2nd worst bullpen pitcher..... This is why I've always felt Dusty does this $hit on purpose... Dude has to have money on these games...
