    That pitch Hader threw to Correa was waaay inside. A little up, I guess, but not egregious. Credit to Carlos.

    I’m not upset with Espada. It was a BP game and he had used a lot of relievers. Glad they won.

    Ask yourself a question: Will deep postseason success be BECAUSE of Espada? Or in spite of him???

    I think Atuves great catch earlier in the game to rob Correa is right up there as well. Totally different game if he does not make that play. Hope we get good news on him.

    and throw out who? Montero already pitched. Bryan Abreu already pitched. Pressly pitched yesterday.

    Let's say bregman didn't hit the homerun. Would you still roll Hader out there when the score is at 10-5? Then people would complain about overusing Hader in a non-save situation.

    Jays giving one of their hottest hitters (Springer) the night off? WTF is that ****. He treated our series like it was the WS, bringing in their best relievers even while they were down 2 yesterday.

    Okay this takes the sting away from that disgusting clown show of a 9th inning.

    Exactly. Tip your cap to Correa. The pitch was at least 2 balls inside and Correa jumped on it. Not only that it was a sinker, and Correa is terrible this year with sinker (someone fact check me on this).

    Too bad the fact the game was 1-run was a borderline embarrassment.

    Espada doesn't care about save opportunities when Hader routinely pitches with 4-run leads.

    First time I'm happy to hear discomfort from the Stros lol
    Been saying it forever, Biggio armour should be required for all players.
