    The Astros' total inability or uninterestedness to move a runner over from 2B with no outs in a 1-run game is something I've yet to comprehend, and may never will

    When people ask about Espada, remember this

    You scoff but speak the truth at the same time.

    Joe Espada is 14-27 in games decided by 2 runs or fewer.

    Astros are 36-18 in all other games.

    Do you feel comfortable with Espada in what's inevitably going to be one close game after another in the playoffs?

    I absolutely hate to lose a game like this. Astros have the hits but not the runs. The other team has few hits but more runs. Brutal.

    This game is on Jake Meyers.

    0-2 with bases loaded. One of them was a GiDP. Smh.

    Close games is mostly just RNG, sometimes you run good, sometimes you don't

    Ball is *not* in the back of the glove, and Dubon is touching the base.

    If you wanna say the ball *is* in the glove's back.... Dubon is still touching the base.

    This team has yet to adapt to extra inning rule changes...

    Yes. He’s made way better decisions compared to earlier in the year. Every move he made today worked.

    But you kinda blamed one guy earlier, and may I add, rather astutely.

    That is a travesty.

    As was the decision to throw another change up in the top of th 10th and then Bregman and Diaz ABs.
