Gamel knows how to bunt!

Unfortunately, Doobie knows how to whiff.

I was going to say you have to ph for Dubon there but with who?

Whitcomb. He looks a little hitter-ish right now. 

[David Dennison 18847]

Now you use the lefty.

Fucking amazing how bad our first base play has been. Jesus fucking Christ.

 

 

[Gut Wagon 8065]

We probably have the pitching to hold any October opponent to 3 runs. Of course, we also have the offense to hold ourselves to fewer than 3. 

[David Dennison 18847]

We need to get healthy fast.

But the defense is going to give up at least 2

[Mo Horn 8824]

I knew this series was going to be tough, but we are making it 20 times harder. Just not playing smartly in all phases of the game.

You can't score two runs and expect to beat Baltimore.

Still, the way it's gone down suuuuuuuucks.

Agreed, but it still should be 2-0

[UTHornFan014 710]

I honestly would have made an example of Singleton after that lazy effort and replaced him immediately after. The laziness and lack of focus on defense the last couple weeks is infuriating

[Mo Horn 8824]

OK you fat fuck at least get one of the three runs back, that are your fault.

Nah.

[cabowabo 4484]

Fuck you Singleton. 

[David Dennison 18847]

That fucking sucked.

[Mo Horn 8824]

2 losses in a row that should have been wins. Just playing bad baseball. 

[perfectchaos007 6625]

Framber gets the loss with 3 earned runs given up. Scott gave up 0 earned runs. Baseball

[Honeysucklerose 985]

We were sucking each other off for a month and forgot what this team is.

Buckle up. The crash is going to be painful

[David Dennison 18847]

I would be so tempted to DFA Jon Singleton.

What's "tempting" about it? He's batting .232 and is an average 1st baseman. He should have been gone long ago. We have others who can play 1st.

[David Dennison 18847]

Also, apologies to Espada. I didn't realize Holliday was a PH.

Still mad.

[UTPhil2006 3804]

So now 27 innings pitched the Astros were better for 25. Those two shitbags Abreu and Singelton lost us each game

You cannot afford to make mistakes against a team as talented as Baltimore. I would think the Astros would know something about that.

GTFO calling Abreu a shitbag.  He’s been one of our best bullpen arms for three seasons.

Better late than never i guess.  A better time would have been before dusty threw away huge ABs in the alcs last year.

In the field?  He's well below average.

Giants win. Astros remain 4.5 games up on Seattle. 

[Mo Horn 8824]

At least the Giants helped out by winning today.

I was being generous

[HtownHorn 14663]

Here comes the shitty bullpen of the 1st month. I don't understand why you would pitch a RH reliever against the Orioles until you are out of lefties.

That starts with Espada. He's a horrible manager.

[n64ra 1080]

I hate Singleton.

[Gale Snoats 242]

I understand it’s a long season and team dynamics are tricky but there has to be accountability on this lazy fielding bullshit - if nothing else to get their attention and heighten awareness. This bullshit Chas pulled the other night letting that guy advance and singletons bullshit at first tonight. Those are the kinds of plays that lose close games and these guys need to understand that. Also they need to start treating first base like a defensive position that matters. Nuance is important as fist base and it’s not just picking short throws like the keep on showing them working on during practice. It’s footwork and timing and they don’t have it and it’s costing us outs.

Can Brice play OF or 1B?

Yes and yes. Fear is he ends up in CF. Desire is SS or 3B. 

[runthebone 7967]

I knew Dubon sucked and last year was a career year, but I didn't think Chazzzz would suck this much.  Thankfully, Gamel and Cabbage are super elite.

Defense takes too much energy when you are concentrating on how you're going to bat flip your next weak popup.

[UTPhil2006 3804]

JV spaghetti Brown in Philly. Blanco getting skipped. I’m guessing for rest which is sorely needed
