    Why were those geriatrics in the stands afraid of that measly home run ball? The crowd is wishing we had lost this 7-0 at this point. I still say we win this...

    Of course. We’ve made an incredible habit the last 2-3 weeks of letting far FAR inferior teams beat us. Incredibly frustrating.

    And they are #1 in baseball for fewest strikeouts. Strange turn of events after the great comeback.

    As much as this sucks, I kind of want to see what 11 of 12 batters striking out to end a game looks like.

    Somebody said earlier...the one guy who could really hurt you and you groove it right down main street. Will Harris watching from bullpen.

    If James is gonna place the ball in the same spot 3 straight pitches....thats bound to happen. His star has faded. His control is suspect and his need to throw only fastballs for strikes is concerning.

    Should’ve been 10 of 11. How are you gonna just look at that ball go right by you in that spot?

    I just don't understand how these guys, after clawing their way back to a tie from that huge deficit, can just go into drifting along mode. You don't want to pull this one all the way out? Content to just tire everyone on the team out even more to lose in 12 innings?

    This has mystified about Astros teams over the decades. They'll get to extra innings and start playing like they're in the first inning with no urgency. I know you're tired, but come on.
