@Mo Horn We need some Abreu disparagement 

Sorry. I've been in a meeting and then driving home. I'll step it up now. 

[Gut Wagon 8083]

Lots of Slavic concern in the stands 

[Gourmand 7774]

should've just left Javier in 

[Mo Horn 8852]

Brown you worthless twat. Get outs.

If you aren’t going to throw strikes… yeah. So irritating

Or when your strikes get roped.

exactly, they weren't hitting Javier at all

[Mo Horn 8852]

That was a fucking strike, even if he didn't swing

[Wulaw Horn 19138]

Just do what you’ve done all year. Maton can take the 6th as a clean inning and then go Nerris, Abreu, Presley. 
Don’t need to reinvent the wheel in the playoffs. 

[Rockethorn1978 6101]

Hunter brown sucks

[Js1 85449]

What in the hell in this zone 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Ump is dog shit

Correa hit a 22 hopper through the right side. The crime on that inning was the walk. 

[Js1 85449]

Huge 

[Planet Houston 4930]

What a play. Eat your heart out, CC. 

[HOOKEM4 5039]

[Rockethorn1978 6101]

Ok bring in abreau now.

[Gourmand 7774]

PENA YOU BEAUTIFUL SONOFABITCH!!!

Yeah, but the run scoring hit was smoked.

[Overlord 366]

Holy shit, that was a big boy play.

 

[Saint Tacky 1614]

Over-managing. Stick with your current pitcher to start the inning unless he's crossed a pitch count threshold. Particularly when a run by the leadoff man is meaningless. Ride the wave.

Sure.  That was also the first hard hit ball of the inning. 
thank goodness Peña bailed us out. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Diaz will have 2 HR in his next playoff game. In 2024.

[Rockethorn1978 6101]

That was uninspiring AB’s. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

That was too quick. Damn.

[cabowabo 4492]

How about a 1-2-3 inning here.

Why show them all the A relievers in a 6 run game?

I was laughing at an earlier crowd shot with one brother in it.

I started laughing, "Hey they found him!"

Gotdam that's a lot of white people.

[BrazilHorn 6623]

That was huge DP by Pena there. I’m texting with some Twins fans at the game and that play really took wind out of their sails. 
 

Both teams leaving a shit load of guys on base. 

[Scraps 13570]

These guys are such dopes. Do they realize this is the biggest fucking game of the season? Game 3 of a five game series tied 1-1 is huge.

I mean- that’s fine. Go with Stanek or whoever then. Make it a normal game with people filling roles they have performed  all year. 

[Overlord 366]

Is there any way we get Abreu for 2?

Or bring in mad dawg Neris?

Edited October 10, 2023 by Overlord

[Planet Houston 4930]

Dirty. Well done, Abreu. And Dusty /ducks/

[kevwun 15811]

Nope, need to have him fresh for tomorrow.

I like giving Brown the middle Inning.

If Urquidy is the starter tomorrow, then roles have been further defined.  one of those 2 was not going to be a starter.

Bottom line is that's quality at both spots.  I'd be cool with Brown or Urquidy either one in either spot, but if you start Brown in Game 4, it's a very similar style to Verlander in Game 5.

I'm cool with how Dusty rolled with it.

In a vacuum fine. I just don’t like constant reinventing of the wheel. 

[Wulaw Horn 19138]

Peña DP was awesome. 

[kevwun 15811]

If it was a close game, you could have Abreu go 2.  There's no reason to make him unavailable tomorrow when you have a 5 run lead.

Oh doncha know. They’re hearing moose steps.

The demise of Javier is highly overrated

It's the playoffs.  Even in recent Astros lore, the pitching roles  have been changed.

 

It's fucking great to have options.

Dusty gonna open his postgame PC with “WHAT NOW HATERS”
