Astros 100% did this to themselves. walking guys, putting in Singleton (should've been at least Dubon in that situation), hitting batters with runners on, putting in Martinez with bases loaded. Running into an out at home in the 9th. We all saw the implosion starting with Framber and the Astros failure to score after. It was inevitable.
Verdugo robs Tucker of an RBI-double on a 15% catch probability.. Soto throws out the tying-run at home plate in the 9th inning.. Questionable decisions by Espada -- PH'ing Singleton for Myers and relieving Framber for Martinez. Terrible loss after leading 4-0, but great season likely.
Regular season Astros last year was terrible in many occasions. Unfortunately, we won't see playoff Astros this year.
Look at those Yanks thinking they did something. We gave you 1, now we will take the next 3. Im not worried about 1 game... but Framer needs to get it together. This is getting to be too much of a track record of losing it.
back-to-back season with an opener loss. before that, they had 9 seasons straight with winning the season opener.
I really wanted things to feel different, but so much felt familiar - Framber spotted 4 runs but couldn't hold it or throw strikes - Weird manager decisions, seriously what the hell is with pinch hitting Singleton there - Offense goes cold for long stretches of innings - Montero being ass Not a good start, with the schedule as tough as it is the first month, can't piss away games.
13 hits but only generate 4 runs and allowed 5 unanswered runs. allowed 9 walks. not a good recipe to win games.
