When we score 0 runs this game it isn't going to matter who was pitching 

That's only because you can't score negative runs.

always funny to me when they hit right to 3rd baseman when the shift is towards right field.

not unique to Astros, but it's gotta be frustrating as hell for the batter.

The pessimist in me makes me think ownership/GM is considers next season a wash still or the start of the rebuilding process. 

We'll know soon enough. If they let George go, the window is closed.

I'm sure he'd be happy to be called lite no matter what the context

[Jshep34 2,304]

Side note, i blame this whole season on lilshep not being able to go to games. We started hitting alot of games in 2015 and each year since.
Bats need to wake up!!

Sadly, this entire season has been a showcase for how much we cheated.

This was pretty much my take on it.  I don't want soft tosser seeing the lineup a 3rd time.  Framber was never starting a game this series.  Just don't really see why all the fuss about this decision.  This was the best chance to keep us in it.  

 

Now like I said it won't matter one bit if some people don't pull their head out of their asses and hit

Have to disagree. Mental shit is mostly effecting them. Of all the seasons to follow the scandal...a short pandemic season was the worst thing to happen.

The bats have blown all season. If they wake up it might be for a game or two but I think we all know it won’t be consistent. 60 games is a good sample size. Would love to be wrong and watch Astro magic kick in.

I can see that.

Still, we cheated.

[WBT 20,425]

wooooooo!!  Need machete to park one.

[kevwun 15,668]

Altuve could hit long before Luhnow showed up.  A trash can isn't responsible for this.

One time George 

[mbtex 683]

Altuve has not been the same since He started having knee problems

[David Dennison 18,662]

Good lord.

[WBT 20,425]

Springer!!

wtf was machete doing?  They're never going to throw out Reddick there.  And once he sees he's dead, he for damn sure needs to stop and make them come tag him to be sure the run scores in time.

[mbtex 683]

WTF Machete

 

[clapclapclap 9,000]

How stupid to send our cripple to 3rd.

[elfenix 34,186]

i'll take the tie but that was no where near deep enough for maldo to go to third

1st You must have Dennison on mute to not realize that was sarcasm. 2nd A regular season would be much worse. 3 more months of cheating talk along with fans in the stands wrath

It was only sarcastic insofar as I don't care that we cheated.

But we 100% cheated.

yep.  That sucks.   Congratulations on the impending grandkid...

[WBT 20,425]

As much as we've been doom and gloom, we're outhitting them 5 to 2.

[rvm96 1,643]

This thread is a beating to read 

[Guadaloopy 10,927]

Just let ‘em off the hook with a TOOTBLAN.  

[Guest]

straight wicked dealing by Valdez.

Unhittable there.

Not impending

Ravetch with the hot takes.  Our guys just aren't smiling with their eyes.

[HillaryFan420 121]

Framber pitching beautifully after overcoming those early jitters.  Knowing our godawful offense we will need to him to be nails finishing this game out.

[hornmpa96 2,598]

Let’s get some runs here and make it 17 straight for the Twins

[TonyTexas 10,482]

Y’all might want to keep an eye on the A’s/Sox game. Just saying

Altuve is going to do something stupid on the basepath isn't he?

How about a gapper, Tucker?

[Mo Horn 8,807]

This has to be the most frustrating Astros team in recent history. I thought last year was bad when it came to clutch hits. Nothing compared to this year.
