The problem with playing the lefty/righty game for the Astros offense is the Rangers have 5 lefties in their pen

And they are all shitty, but you would have Brantley facing Sborz in the highest leverage situation of the game.

Yordan doesn't care and Tucker doesn't either when he's actually hitting. I think the Brantley AB there was worth it if there was 1 out. I can see why they kept Pena with 2 outs because of his defense.

[TexArcher 37978]

Yeah, we should be able to grind out at least one more against their bullpen.  Gotta make it hold up.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Bases loaded again and crap

Brantley isn’t hopeless against LHP so I’d have done it. He just doesn’t have any thump. 

[TejasPedro 1858]

Serious question.
Which one of these commercials is the worst?

my vote is the google pixel 

[WBT 20615]

On 2nd thought I probably would have hit Brantley for Pena there.

Plus, you can't take Sborz out once you announce him until he faced 3 batters. He would have had to face Brantley with the game on the line. It was just a fucking stupid decision in real time and after the fact.

[cabowabo 4487]

That was a hanger.

Pull him now.

[Pimphand 5764]

IDGAF Brantley needs to be in the game the rest of the fucking series....

[TexArcher 37978]

Wouldn't mind it if JV's done soon.  He's been living dangerously all day and mostly gotten away with it.

Fuck no, you don't take out your GG SS.

[perfectchaos007 6673]

Time for a double play please

[Wishbone 4762]

Nerris getting warm

[Gut Wagon 8083]

I hate games we "dominate" but don't show it in the run column. We usually end up with this kind of unnecessary mess. 

[HtownHorn 14724]

This is where having no lefty in the bullpen hurts the Astros.

[Pimphand 5764]

Later scrubs nice managing Dusry

[cabowabo 4487]

And we're done here.

[rvm96 1643]

You can do it JV!

[Rip76 4943]

That’s on Dusty.

[Wishbone 4762]

Well fuck fuck fuck!

[HtownHorn 14724]

Fuck you Dusty. This is why you suck as a manager.

[Pimphand 5764]

Can we fire Dusty before Game 6?

[cabowabo 4487]

And Neris isn't even ready.

[Macklemore 2872]

Fuck 

[TexArcher 37978]

FUCK YOU, DUSTY

But he didn't.

[WBT 20615]

well shit

[Js1 85409]

Ballgame?

[perfectchaos007 6673]

Back. Breaker.

[Wulaw Horn 19098]

I said I’d prefer the bullpen here after 5. 
knew it wouldn’t happen but shit. 

[HOOKEM4 5037]

Screaming pull him didn't work. Fuck.

[runthebone 8013]

Motherfucker.  Solo homers only, damn it.  Fuck

[Macklemore 2872]

God damn you Dusty 

[cabowabo 4487]

It's ridiculous that he's still in there.

[WBT 20615]

first lead change of the series

at least we'll have maldy leading off next inning

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Gonna have to rally

[tx 3 putt 77060]

there should have been a damn mound visit between all that, I have no issue jv being in there. he was at 70 pitches

Edited October 20, 2023 by tx 3 putt

[Pimphand 5764]

Fuck this ignoramus dumbass shitbox we have for a manager.

[UTHornFan014 710]

Two fuck ups by Dusty in one inning. Not pinch hitting Brantley for Chas and then not having someone ready in the pen. 

[Macklemore 2872]

FUCK YOU DUSTY

[TexArcher 37978]

I'm gonna go take a shit and name it Dusty.

If it was 35 year old Verlander sure, 40-year old Verlander needs a short lease when your bullpen is rested and ready. There is no urgency with Dusty, which is why he sucks as a manager.

[perfectchaos007 6673]

Houston has won every game this series when they have put up a crooked number inning, and lost all games when they haven't

[Dennis Taylor 18830]

Fuck that roided up motherfucker.

There was one right before the HR

I don't have any problem with how it played out either.  Shit happens.  Neris has already given up 3 big HRs in the playoffs too.

Going to evict Verlander....
