Damn, missed opportunity. Down by 1 against the closer would have been hard but 2 will be impossible??? Needed to make it a 1 run game when it was runner on 2nd, 0 outs. Maybe he's due for a bad game and allows a couple.
Welps.. when your best possible bbs approved hitters do NOTHiNG with a man on 2nd and nobody out…. Who do we hold responsible for this?!?!? (Candidates: Crane, Bagwell, Biggio, Jose Cruz, Reggie Jackson, Espada, Maldy, Carnitas, Boras, Dana, Preston Tucker, Selig, Dusty, the Bears)
Two feable outcomes by Tucker and Yordan. THAT was our chance to win Only good news is the leverage guys got a day off, no new injuries, and Spencer pitched well.
That's at least 3 pitches in 3 innings the ump has missed against the Astros. He didn't miss anything for Sears.
This team is showing you can't just count on talent without leadership. This whole organization is kind of drifting without a sail right now (J. Abreu situation, FO issues, Espada, etc.)
