Back end of the pen tomorrow: Long McCullers 6th Van Wey 7th Murray 8th Kimbrel 9th King Unavailable Abreu Okert De Los Santos Pray we get good Javier. Otherwise McCullers will ensure the game isn't close. The bats need to get the job done and score 6 or 7.
I said in the 8th it felt like I was watching a replay…the Astros actually scoring and winning was the plot twist
My favorite thing about baseball is fans could be calling for their favorite team to blow it all up and then literally the next day the World Series chase is back on. And it's just that for like 6 months straight Credit: Matt Fassnacht
Make no mistake, Espada has proven he is a ****ing mongloid - but at this point he is what they have. Maybe Crane will bring in Bochy and Baker as co-managers or Jim Leyland if he is still alive… Showalter would have murdered Valdez, Altuve and Abreu by now.
I'd take 80 YO Smokin' Jim in a heartbeat! I so wanted Showalter, but who knows how it would've gone with him. I gave Espada kudos for keeping the clubhouse in order and going on that winning run earlier that culminated in LA, but some of the decisions, you just can't defend, they're baffling. Why the **** Altuve sniffed any more than the ****ing dugout rail padding I'll never know. JE explicitly told everyone he gets "a day off to reset and then back in tomorrow" and instead he sticks his struggling ass out there in the 9th to strike out less then 4hrs after saying he gets the day off.
Would love Bochy....Leyland or Showalter would make my brains bleed eta: while we're at it, can we get LaRussa?
