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 7066]

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

[HtownHorn 15235]

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

[David Dennison 19560]

[runthebone 8378]

Fuck, don't let them score

[HtownHorn 15235]

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

Why come?

[Dnaguy 12643]

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

[runthebone 8378]

Phew.  That was smoked

[Dnaguy 12643]

Did he touch the bag?!

[Smax 3800]

Nice and love the emotion

[HtownHorn 15235]

Holy shit, I thought Neris blew out his achilles.

No shit?

[At Ease 44]

Bad matchup for us, whew.

[D3zii 3941]

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

[Dnaguy 12643]

[UTexasFight 9819]

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

 

let’s see it with us having the lead 

[TexArcher 39074]

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

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

That was a little excessive

[Dutchrudder 11245]

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

[HOOKEM4 5176]

I love Hector. That dude is all energy.

[oh_snap 694]

Hector. Fire em up

[cabowabo 4692]

Maldonado better not be batting here. 

[David Dennison 19560]

You have to lead off with Diaz.

You just have to.

It was

[runthebone 8378]

107.5 exit velo.  Middle middle splitter.  Lucky

[Macklemore 2945]

Whew. Please, please put in Diaz here 

[Wulaw Horn 19597]

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 3513]

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

[WBT 20989]

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

[UTexasFight 9819]

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 11137]

Everybody Ok in here?

It's fun to dream

[futureman 22704]

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 22704]

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

[MirrOlure 15291]

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 8378]

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