Good job Neris.  I would have left him in too.

Nice job by Neris

[Guadaloopy 11126]

Never a doubt.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

That'll do Hector

[tx 3 putt 78474]

Neris was fucking nails !

[rvm96 1643]

I would have gone Stanek there but what do I know. Good shit Neris!

So you prefer leave in the guy who actually loaded the bases?

It’s just personal preference at this point. Not about right or wrong. 
good job by Nerris. 

[HtownHorn 15243]

Big out by Neris. PH for Maldonado now, and flip the lineup over.

No, he’s out with a broken hand

Where are the post season quality starts? Jfc

I mean he missed it by one strike

No no no. You don't put in a guy like Stanek with the bases loaded. He walks 5 per 9.

Really?  I'm not sure who I'd say I trust least.  Everyone that made the roster is pretty damn good.

[Wulaw Horn 19561]

I like Stanek better than Nerris in a vacuum, but he wasn’t the guy there imo. Not enough of a strike thrower with the bases loaded. 

[Limp Brisket 549]

Maybe stress Castillo now?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

I'd pinch hit for Maldy here. I get leaving him in while Framber is on the mound. We need the better bat now though.

No doubt. But someone has to be bottom of the totem pole. I love Abreu. Stanek, Montero have been better. Obviously Presley is better. It’s a really good crew.

Throws too many balls.  You don't want to bring him in with the bases loaded.

Agreed, feels like the time to do it.

This would be a good time for Altuve to enter the 2022 playoffs.

Yep. I’d do it with Hensley. OBP is imperative  leading off the inning. That was Dusty’s first managerial decision that I just don’t at all like. 

[HtownHorn 15243]

Another wasted AB by Maldonado in the playoffs.

And Abreu doesn’t?  They all do. It’s an incredibly talented bullpen. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Sad when Peña has been our only offensive weapon today

[WBT 20886]

Yordan needs to find the Crawford Boxes here.

[UTexasFight 9790]

That’s how it starts

lets go 

[TexArcher 38816]

Well, there's half of a bloop and a blast...

Yeah his HR was sweet.

I would still go with him, but like I said it might be incorrect. Also the Astros try to bring in their relievers with clean innings so I think he would pitch differently with the bases loaded.

[WBT 20886]

Hammerin' Yordan!!

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Please Yordan

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Yeah his HR was sweet.

You liked that reverse jinx didn’t you?

[Wulaw Horn 19561]

I love you Yordan. 

[UTexasFight 9790]

Unreal

[Jebus 1341]

This fucking guy.  I love this guy

[InkaUtexas 26806]

He killed that one. 

[Macklemore 2945]

FUCKING YORDAN!! Love him!

[VirginiaLonghorn 4878]

… and they just keep pitching to him.

SMFH

[tx 3 putt 78474]

The game is on the bullpen now 

[MirrOlure 15195]

Absolutely ridiculous

[Scraps 13747]

Oh hai

Didn't tell yall bout this one

[tx 3 putt 78474]

Back2Back would be nice 

[elfenix 34661]

at what point are they just going to walk yordan every at bat regardless of the situation

This generations version of roided up Big Papi. But even a better hitter and athlete.
