Pena frustrates me as much as anyone on this team. Guy simply isn't a smart hitter. 

I’ll just say that I’m OK with him ripping at a splitter left up like that. He hit it hard, but no elevation.

[Slacks 6,821]

Slacks isn't watching. Make of that what you will. 

[HtownHorn 14,682]

This is a lot of attention for a guy that 1 out 4 in SBs this season.

[David Dennison 18,860]

[runthebone 7,982]

Fuck, don't let them score

[HtownHorn 14,682]

This is where not having a lefty kills us. Just like in 2019 for Soto.

Why come?

[Dnaguy 11,964]

Would be nice if the ump called a ball off the plate for us

[runthebone 7,982]

Phew.  That was smoked

[Dnaguy 11,964]

Did he touch the bag?!

[Smax 3,800]

Nice and love the emotion

[HtownHorn 14,682]

Holy shit, I thought Neris blew out his achilles.

No shit?

[At Ease 44]

Bad matchup for us, whew.

[D3zii 3,680]

Was that Abreau on the bullpen warming up or am I tripping???

[Dnaguy 11,964]

[UTexasFight 9,450]

Getting my popcorn ready for the Abreu and Garcia in the 8th.

 

let’s see it with us having the lead 

[TexArcher 37,774]

Not gonna lie -- I wouldn't mind if we scored like 5 here.

[Honeysucklerose 989]

That was a little excessive

[Dutchrudder 11,139]

Wow, great D by Abreu to get back on that and make the play. Time to get after their bullpen! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[HOOKEM4 5,037]

I love Hector. That dude is all energy.

[oh_snap 694]

Hector. Fire em up

[cabowabo 4,484]

Maldonado better not be batting here. 

[David Dennison 18,860]

You have to lead off with Diaz.

You just have to.

It was

[runthebone 7,982]

107.5 exit velo.  Middle middle splitter.  Lucky

[Macklemore 2,872]

Whew. Please, please put in Diaz here 

[Wulaw Horn 19,070]

If you PH Diaz now he can at least get in the game and lathered up before hitting in the. Orrin of the 9th. 
Alas, won’t happen.

Why wouldn't he be warming up as the setup man?

[Evil Bill Obrien 3,284]

Hope Neris doesn't get suspended for intentionally throwing at the ground

[WBT 20,572]

107.5 mph.  I could barely watch that ab.  It was screaming 3 run homer.

[UTexasFight 9,450]

This game is just weird.

like it’s a bunch of time waiting to get to the 8th or 9th when the real action is about to start. 

[Guadaloopy 10,971]

Everybody Ok in here?

It's fun to dream

[futureman 22,462]

congratulations astros.  I hate you but I have to accept your baseball superiority.  good luck in the series.

It will be maldy and you, houston, the organization and Diaz will thank him for it.

But he's hit a ton of grounders to that exact same spot this whole year. All situations and against all kinds of pitches. Consistency isn't always a good thing.

We ain’t winning this game. You can’t reverse jinx when you are ahead. 

[futureman 22,462]

I called Astros in 6 after game 3.  good job guys, you did it. 

[MirrOlure 14,774]

Is it just a football weekend hangover or is this a boring game?

It’s marital sex. Both of the teams are half adding foreplay until the end for the real P in V action.

[runthebone 7,982]

Feels lucky it's 3-2.  Would be great to pull this out.
