[Lat22 4,018]

Damn. Looked good off the bat. 

[Dnaguy 12,085]

How many RISP at MMP now. It defies all logic.

France in

Yeah, but we're not here without him.

Yeah Iim still on the bandwagon. Just a speed bump.

[Rockethorn1978 6,105]

We’re not winning this game with random solo shots. But with our pitching going to shit it’s not looking good.

[HtownHorn 14,786]

That's what we needed Abreu to do with the drawn-in infield. Just hit it up the middle.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Yeah, he is.  Coming into the 3rd inning with traffic ain't a start, even for a starter.

That ain’t no bullpen arm dude. Say what you want

I suggest you get drunk as shit like me.

It numbs the highs and lows

Scherzer is going to be on the ropes relatively early.

the game is going to hinge on whether we get a key multi-run hit with runners that are his responsibility (probably around the time Abreu or Brantley are up a 2nd time) or whether we let them get off the hook. 

Fail… twice by Brantley (although that time just a little unlucky)

Okay, you win the prize then.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Uncle Mike has had at least three opportunities with RISP the last two games and hasn’t driven in a single run. Just let down again and again by anyone not named Altuve, Bregman, or Yordan.

Of course. Right to them. The story of the series when we play at home.

We’ve had a few of those in our favor this series. 

Should have left Brown in. 

[utxmike05 1,828]

Keep pecking. But gotta lock them down on Defense.  I seen this movie too much. Small chipping away but can't catch up. 

[Dnaguy 12,085]

Why is Hunter not out there?

[Tommy Nobis 905]

I still have no clue why Brantley is batting where he is but I’m just a dumbass fan

He's been a fairly unprofessional hitter this series

[MirrOlure 14,846]

Was it pena or dubon? One of those Spanish guys said it.

¡Nosotros Somos Houston!

Seager has always been on the right place. Hate him so much.

Jesus.

Got to throw strike and not let them hit moon shits

I don't get it, either.  He looked pretty good.

@Wulaw Horn has been like an Old Testament prophet this year preaching the truth about the error of the Astros ways. We need to return to the true faith of analytics and run the charlatans and false prophets out of our land. That is what is needed to cleanse our temple to win again at home.

Man I don’t like being this way. 
I love this team. 
it’s been my greatest pleasure as a sports fan to follow these guys. 
it’s just enraging that they had the formula and for no good reason they are going away from it and choosing to be dumb. It’s not even in game decision that you can say oh it’s hard to make decisions on the fly and what not. It’s writing the wrong names on the lineup card in a premeditated way over and over and over. 
Brantley has been the goat today. Double play. Leave the guy at third. Don’t make the play in the OF. Why’s he batting in front of the guy who’s finishing 3rd in the mvp race?  Because we now value small sample size nonsense over who the guy is. 
I mean- I hope I’m wrong and everyone makes fun of me. It could happen. Anything can happen in a small sample size. It’s still dumb. 

[Dnaguy 12,085]

Our coaching is < there’s.

Woof.

[Rockethorn1978 6,105]

Another inning and another ranger on to start. Great job guys! 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Game 7 knee jerk shit. Both coaches doing it. Hope we get the best of it

[TexArcher 38,075]

I mean, right down the middle to Josh Jung.  Lucky that wasn't a run.

[cabowabo 4,514]

You cannot pitch from behind to these guys. 

[David Dennison 18,948]

Get someone up.

[Dnaguy 12,085]

Hunter is dealing and we change shit up bc….

I truly don’t know.

Reasons.

Dusty is scare shitless. He doesn’t know how to manage and this is exposing him 

[Wulaw Horn 19,153]

Let’s not get it twisted. He hit that ball 97 mph. Not super impressive or unlucky. 

[Gut Wagon 8,087]

We've already had enough brain-dead ABs in this series to last me a lifetime. But we're making up for it by throwing a lot of meatballs and not being able to hold baserunners on first. 

[Rockethorn1978 6,105]

Every decision for bouchy pays off and works and ours backfires. Just that year.

[cabowabo 4,514]

Down in the count again…….

[TexArcher 38,075]

Great bender there, holy shit.

[Dnaguy 12,085]

France looks shaky

[Bevo&Pevo 5,221]

Does anyone else think JPF looks like this guy?

Exactly what happened with us last year.

[cabowabo 4,514]

Go get this fuck. 

[At Ease 44]

That was a nice 2-2 pitch, but he can’t spot anything, which won’t end well.

They will jump all over a first pitch over the plate.

[rvm96 1,643]

Cannot walk Semien with how bad he has been

[Rockethorn1978 6,105]

Great walk France. The way we’re locked in tonight for game 7 is so inspirational. 

[Dutchrudder 11,152]

France does walk a lot of guys, not sure what the plan is here, but I can't see him coming out for the 5th if he even makes it through the 4th. 

[cabowabo 4,514]

Ridiculous pulling brown after two innings.
