Well, probably wont' see that again this year. Tucker triple had an expected BA of .000. Fan almost ruined it.

Completely wasted. K, easy grounder to 3B, tapper to pitcher.

[Gourmand 7774]

Meyers is a fucking stud! What a play. 

[Storm the Field 5270]

Nice little chip shot just barely in to the crawford boxes for Tuve.

Baker is determined to make Astros fans everywhere hate Brooks Raley.

[Gourmand 7774]

Now he has to face the righty Haniger.

[kevwun 15595]

I'm not sure I've ever seen so many check swing strikes called as in this series.

[HtownHorn 14446]

Haniger vs Raley is not an AB I want to see.

 

Holy shit. Raley got him out.

Good clean up job there.

And we don't have to because Raley got out of that inning. 

Good job aggy!

Seriously. Even though Raley is nearly untouchable against LH's, Seager would have gone GS on him.

[elfenix 34168]

when i search 'astros' on youtube the first live result is this asshole:

 

 

[Storm the Field 5270]

Dang, old man Smith robbed Maldy of a rare chance at an infield single.

[Storm the Field 5270]

Seager goes down, Seager goes down! Was that Raley's best appearance of the year?

great job aggy

[WBT 20397]

That JR video during the pitching change was cool.

"I could throw it through a carwash without it getting wet."

[Storm the Field 5270]

Fuck. Of course Toro scores the tying run after reaching on a 55 mph grounder to short. Shitty carom off the wall let him come around all the way from first.

Don't blame Dusty.

Son of a

[mbtex 683]

Fuck

[kevwun 15595]

The umps this series have a 90's Braves strikezone.  There's not an outside corner.

[Storm the Field 5270]

Graveman control shaky again but fortunately gets out of it.

[Storm the Field 5270]

Tough, tough day at the plate for Myers. Came up 4 times with men on. 3 swinging K's and a fly out.

[Storm the Field 5270]

Pressly issues a 4 pitch walk to feared .170 hitter Kelenic.

[HtownHorn 14446]

What the fuck is going on with the bullpen. Just hemorrhaging base runners.

12 so far in the 5.1 IP.

[Guadaloopy 10903]

The dreaded closer in a non-save situation.  Don’t give in Pressly.  

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Incredible stop on the 1-2 pitch by Machete.  Rewarded with the K.  

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Well crap

Edited September 8, 2021 by Guadaloopy

[David Dennison 18603]

Horrible.

[HtownHorn 14446]

Knew the shitty shift would do it.

[Storm the Field 5270]

Play with fire, get burned. Can't keep letting 2 guys on every inning and hoping it works out.

[Gourmand 7774]

FUCK GODDAMNIT

Why can't this team stop stepping on its dick?

[Chuckie Finster 22583]

Pressly had no fucking idea where the ball was going that entire inning.

[cabowabo 4449]

Great job Ryan.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Pressly not clutch lately

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Live by the shift, die by the shift.  

[Storm the Field 5270]

Last 4 runs driven in by guys below the Mendoza line. Fun!

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Fuckin A

I'd blame the walk more than the shift.

[Storm the Field 5270]

Lol, game over.

[maninblack 7974]

Fuck this pen

[David Dennison 18603]

Good game, fellas. 

[WBT 20397]

why can't we have nice things?

[Gourmand 7774]

I  hate baseball sometimes.

[WBT 20397]

Marwinning!  Nice play.

[Storm the Field 5270]

13 hits and 7 BB given up by pitching staff. That's uh, not how you win games.

M's bullpen did their job, ours didn't.

I mean- we did what we needed to do and took 2/3.  That pretty much puts them in our review forever I suppose at 6 up in the loss column with what- 24 to play?
No 100 wins.  No lapping the division.  More games we've blown than won that were close.  Played bad against bad teams. Beat up on good teams. This team is veteran, old, been there done that, and just waiting on the playoffs.  They are going to whip it out just enough to win the long dick contest- not enjoy the greatest regular season I'd ever seen like they did in 2019.

2019 was just special because it's a once in a lifetime thing.  This is just ho hum workmanlike continuation of a dynasty (regular season/divisional style- whatever you want to call it). Enjoy it fellas- these are the good days- even if it's a little frustrating...

[DaysOff 7821]

This team seems to lose more than their fair share of afternoon get away day games.

[Storm the Field 5270]

Bregman can bat against Sewald forever, IMO.

[WBT 20397]

Bregs!  Not a bad day's work.

Hard to win games when you give up 13 hits
