[Official] Twins @ Astros

How did Abreu get 2 ER when the ghost runner doesn't count against ERA?

Eta- nevermind... misread the box. Two damn hits and a walk

 

It’s usually my fault. I’ll take the blame.

 

Good to see Altuve swinging the bat. Dubon is still surprising, and maybe Abreu is starting to hit.

 

I'm still pissed. That sucked.

 

Far from it.

 

A bit of a letdown by the bullpen. It's going to happen. Gotta go out and get 'em today !!

 

Constant negative posts= mental fragility

Letting someone else’s post bother you = mental fragility

reacting with the ebb and flow of the game and/or season accordingly = mental balance

 

Bielak is going to shove tonight!

 

If you told me we would be one inning from a win with our minor league pitcher going up against Sonny Grey and his sub 2 ERA with Pressley on the mound for the save, I would be super happy. We didn't win which sucks, but I wasn't really expecting a win.

 

If you told me we would be one inning from a win with our minor league pitcher going up against Sonny Grey and his sub 2 ERA with Pressly on the mound for the save, I would be super upset as the only reason to tell me this information is if the Astros lose.

 

After last night's debacle by Ryan, his WHIP is still under 1.00 (.896)

I was surprised by that number because he seems to always surrender at least one baserunner every appearance

Guess the worser outings stand out more

 

but really that expectation should have changed once the Altuve grand slam happened. Still not expecting a win in that moment is just weird. It was a big letdown.

 

I'm still optimistic. I suppose that makes me mentally unbalanced.

 

No but perhaps you do lack in reading comprehension. I never said anything in my post about being optimistic.

 

He has had a WHIP under 1 his entire tenure with the Astros outside of 2020. He's allowed a baserunner in less than half of his outings this year.

 

I wasn't expecting Altuve to hit the go ahead grand slam. That was sweet

 

Yeah, he's pretty good

Perhaps should've won WS MVP last season

 

The guys on Locked on Astros pointed out that when batters aren't biting on Pressly's off speed stuff he can be hittable. Pressly is a good closer. The reason why a lot of people prefer Abreu is because of his "stuff". Abreu gave up the go ahead homer but his stuff overall tends to be harder to hit. I think that's what a lot of people prefer in a closer, dominant upper 90s, low 100s type of "stuff". Just another tough loss but not the end of the world.

 

Is that good or bad?
