    So Pressly could have pitched the 8th over 1 lousy run. Joe not real smart.

    Astros need pitching.

    There goes Dubin's sub 3 ERA. Dubin has a WHIP over 1.60, 5+ ERA for a reliever, and he's the pick to keep the game close with Pressly rested...

    Manager is literally blowing the game. We have better relievers.

    Cavan becomes Ted Williams against the Astros.

    Betts and Freeman aren't necessary

    He almost made it the entire weekend.

    That's gotta be pretty good for him, right?

    Everyone complaining about Espada for not using leverage guys while down after everyone complained about him overusing them early in the season while down.

    I hope Espada doesn't take the philosophy to the playoffs that if down just a run you can't use you high leverage guys in similar situation like today. Don't like going to unproven guys in this game with a chance for a sweep and keep the momentum going.

    Espada has talked before about not playing top relievers in a losing game as if a 1-run deficit against the Dodgers isn’t high leverage. He’s wrong. Leverage isn’t just winning or losing. It annoys me to no end that his heuristic view informs important pitching changes.

    Can't blame the HPU.

    He's called a good game.

    Lmao neither Bryan King or Dubin won’t be pitching an inning in the playoffs assuming we make it.
