That's my thought as well. If you can't use him here, he shouldn't have been on the playoff roster.
This. Who is our last arm in the bullpen? I know it's crazy to even suggest it, but can we actually use Montero here?
These announcers are so awful they make me miss Joe Buck. At least he has moments where he shuts up.
This. Especially since they used Abreu tonight. Save Neris and Pressley if possible for tomorrow.
Abreu in the 7th is interesting. Maybe just because he had him warming up for Brown and this is the top of the order? Who goes in the 8th?
Go get that run back. Kill any momentum. Sweep the leg!
You're up by 6 runs. Throw strikes!
I like the approach of Brown for a couple of innings to potentially save the elite bullpen guys, but he needs to be on a super short leash.
Everyone wondered why playoff Bregman wasn't showing up. I guess we'll never know!
If the Astros advance, please let this be the version of Javier they're getting in the playoffs. This dude is a killer.
Fantastic inning by Javier! The announcers can give the shadows all the credit in the world, but Sonny Gray hasn't been that lucky. Javier's just...
I still have faith in Breggy. He was one of the 2-3 best hitters last postseason. But man he's looked bad so far.
Javier tough as nails! Love that he's been aggressive and getting ahead of hitters early in these counts. If he keeps this up, we're winning this...
Can't believe that ump missed that call. Such a huge call early in this game as Minnesota tries to gain momentum back. Umps unfairly giving them life.
He was the World Series MVP last year and has a career .972 postseason OPS. He's also 2-2 in this game and has made a few nice defensive plays....
Except that last play made zero sense. They could have let it go to the two-minute warning, and they got a whopping four yards out of it.
How many times does Yordan have to punish teams for brining in lefty relievers against him? Apparently at least one more. Love it!
Chill out with that nonsense. Dude had a bad outing. Every pitcher has them. They're still up with six outs to go.
Just need seven outs. Abreu and the offense can kill that momentum pretty quickly.
It's crazy to see stats like this when you consider how brutal injuries were to the Astros pitching staff this season. If they had close to full...
