    There is no f-ing way that **** from last night is sitting well with these Astros. They have to be fuming underneath.

    "I want another win right f-ing now!"

    Well that sucked.

    Today's another day though.

    These things happen. Relief pitchers are notoriously inconsistent and subject to very bad outings.

    Bryce Harper has hit a HR sooner than Abreu and he came off TJS

    At least there’s nobody in here thinking Stanek should usurp anybody in the high leverage pecking order.

    Maton is rising in the trust level rankings…

    Injuries, nonperforming regulars, Dusty's lineup configuration, etc., there's a lot the Astros have had to put up with early on and they are still in an okay spot actually. The Astros should still win the AL West once the injured players come back and then we'll see after that.

    And that was questioned nearly every game…. Till there were no more games to question it.

    That and why wasn’t Hensley getting more AB’s.

    admittedly I must have not paid close attention to the threads during the playoffs but I remember thinking it made sense moving him way down the order. He can’t throw strikes consistently. I wonder if that was a dusty call or Click call

    Glad I got a good nights sleep and missed the meltdown. I’ll watch today and see if Bielak can pitch 3 effective innings.

    Yep, we have no chance. I wouldn't even watch if I were you.

    Still feeling down about that 8th inning meltdown yesterday. I was surrounded by Mariners fans during the inning that would never end, while they are celebrating.

    Cardinals don't want Wilson Contreras catching for them anymore..?

    So I guess they signed him to be their DH for 5 years lol.

    I know they've had a very rough season but that was fast. They must hate his pitch calling and framing.

    Cole just had a big 6th inning melt down, gave up an 0-6 lead to the Rays.

    This zone is already problematic. Dubon had to chase that.
