Dog shit

[Scraps 13812]

He's a really good manager.
 

He chose to start the Cy Young winner...amazing

[UTexasFight 9819]

Our approach at the plate has been beyond abysmal today

[Pimphand 6380]

Happy Birthday to @uoftorange too bad the Astros seem like they want to give him coal...

Um, have you not paid attention to the last month and a half?

Or, you know, his time in Houston?

The bigger problem is four total hits in 8.

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

Yea this team doesn’t have it. 

[David Dennison 19569]

Our manager is an idiot.

Full stop.

[Mitch Hedberg 2117]

Shouldn’t we have 3 and them 0 for Hader to be in game?

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Time to sip on your $36 Haderades

[Dutchrudder 11247]

Hader is gonna pitch the 9th of every playoff game, isn't he?

[tx 3 putt 78757]

hader, non save situation 

[Mo Horn 8939]

Idiotic decision to go with Hader. You might need him the next 2 days. 

[kevwun 16449]

Well you see this way if we make it to game 3, Hader won't be available.  Which is smart.

Edited October 1 by kevwun

[Chuckie Finster 23099]

Putting in Hader here should be the only piece of evidence needed to relive Espada of his duties.

[David Dennison 19569]

Is there another manager in baseball who would do this?

[Bevo&Pevo 5528]

Jeez Louise, WTF?  

[Guadaloopy 11139]

Cool, cool, cool.

[David Dennison 19569]

Hi, Detroit, have a completely unnecessary look at our closer.

[kevwun 16449]

We're really lucky he didn't run out Abreu too.

[patrickdrinksbeer 841]

absolute fucking idiocy to use hader here. i haven’t been bitching at espada all season, but i genuinely don’t know how the fuck you justify this.

[David Dennison 19569]

I just don't get it.

[Dutchrudder 11247]

Don't worry guys, he'll be back out for the 10th to get the win!  *Espada logic*

[kevwun 16449]

He's been doing dumb shit with the bullpen all season, so we probably shouldn't be surprised.

[TOR 6155]

Need a screenshot of that guy in the neckbrace.

I thought for sure we were getting Abreu, Pressly, and Hader down 3 runs. Thankfully Garcia pitched well enough to get Espada off that idea.

The problem though is we have a lineup with no one hot and is easy to pitch to because they are coached to pull everything and have poor strike zone judgement.

Altuve, Pena, Bregman, and Alvarez all had worse walk rates from the previous season, only Tucker improved from last year.

Yup this is how the dynasty ends....

We started with Hinch allowing the cheating to go so rampant Jomboy could report on it

We kept it going with firing Luhnow instead of doing what the Saints did with Sean Payton

We kept it going with hiring Dusty Baker for more than just 2020

Now we are in full brain drain absolute stupid fucking mode and don't have the talent to offset

[tx 3 putt 78757]

good hold with the heart of the lineup up

[n64ra 1150]

What's AJ Hinch's career playoff road record?

[UTexasFight 9819]

Pinch run?

you’ll need his bat in the 11th

Edited October 1 by UTexasFight

[Bevo&Pevo 5528]

Gotta start somewhere.

[tx 3 putt 78757]

pinch runner 

[TexArcher 39077]

Pinch runner and let's gooooooo!!!

[runthebone 8380]

So having this PR score is more important than having Alvarez available in a non-force out situation?

[perfectchaos007 6780]

If we could at least get the tie run to the plate…..

[Guadaloopy 11139]

Let's string a few doubles together.

[UTexasFight 9819]

Well based on that, prolly good dezenzo is in 

[TexArcher 39077]

There you go, Breggy!!!!!

He literally can't run.

[TOR 6155]

Counting on the palookas here.

[Bevo&Pevo 5528]

Breg steps up!

[tx 3 putt 78757]

diaz 🙏🙏🙏

[Dutchrudder 11247]

oh god, that was so bad...

[kevwun 16449]

That was impressive.

[WBT 20997]

I'm not sure it hit the bat

[TOR 6155]

Holy shit diaz i take it all back.  You magnificent bastard.

[tx 3 putt 78757]

once again, the fucking catcher is framed up way outside the fucking strike zone and you fucking swing 

 

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

Black holes of the lineup are up. Maybe tomorrow. 

[UTexasFight 9819]

This is pretty sexy
