The Astros have taken a bunch of hittable pitches this inning.
Verlander looks gassed already.
Verlander is throwing fucking pus this inning.
Avoided total disaster, for now. Wake up the lumber, fellas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I hope Garrett has a shutout in him Thursday.These at bats are fucking pathetic.
what good is a shut out when your team doesn't score either?
Verlander getting the shit squeezed out of him this inning.
I'm thinking about the umpires union and MLB execs who were upset at JV's comments about a juiced ball right about now.
So this lineup change has put all your black holes together...Reddick, Chirinos Springer, and Brantley. The Astros have no chance to win this series unless these guys wake up.
I'll give them a call.
Pretty sure most of the hits have been on the slider.
Verlander just was not ready to pitch today.
Short rest. I'm sure it's different for a catcher.
You couldn't have done that yesterday?
Home run was a changeup. But he's definitely fallen in love with the slider, which he has no feel for.
The way this series has gone, after you get by Alvarez, you get two innings of easy outs.
Keirmaier is a good CF. I get part of what I asked for.I still send Altuve. Has to be perfect play and it was. But at least the Astros had some life.
Kiermaier is as good as there is in CF. He played that perfectly, and Adames made a perfect relay throw.
Gurriel didn’t exactly have a good AB. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It's fucking embarrassing how much they're sucking off the crowd of the team that had the second lowest regular season attendance this year.
At least it was a no doubter.
Joe Girardi is legitimately one of the dumbest fucking people I've ever heard on television.
We need some belief.... its too predictable (pop-ups, tappers to the mound, and stupid takes).We score in bunches --- all it takes is one and then we go from there.
Astros hitters just slapping at the ball, not even attempting to drive it.This is just sad.
I for one am not too optimistic about the Astros winning on Thursday either. Today was the day. They'd rather be somewhere else.
which one is the one?
Cabo?
7 guys hit over 30 Homers - just asking for barrel on a ball to the stands to remind our guys what is possible.How about George? We need to get him going.
why not James back out?
I wouldn't go that far. They've gotten punched in the face and taken body blows before. But they ain't quitters. They're just sucking at baseball right now.
They'd best unfuck themselves then. They've shown no interest in it so far.
Here's what we need:1. 1 run in the 7th - to remind ourselves what this feels like (scoring a run)2. 2 run dong in 8th Alvarez or Yuli (get within a run)3. Game tying steal of home in the top of the 9th by Straw 4. Game goes to the 15th inning and we get a walkoff from TedThere... this is best I can make with this shit given,
They just need to quit fucking around with the at bats. And pitch better.
I still am not sure they will have to play Thursday.
I concur
I hope you're right
When it's not your night...
Ain’t our day. Back to Houston.
The Rays stole the Astros swagger.
Choi has been a fucking defensive whiz at 1B this series.
I'm amazed at the Astros lack of effort. Lack of pride in their work.
I absolutely have nothing negative to say about Choi (Kung Fu Panda in my head ) Still hate what he has done to the Astros
Mrs Limey took a disliking to Choi, but couldn’t articulate it. I suggested that it’s annoying getting beaten by a guy who looks like he he should struggle to get off the couch...and she nodded.That was before the Brantley DP.
This rays lineup is kind of giving me royals 2015 flashbacks.
Serious questionDo I dive into Optimator now or wait?Keystone till then.....
Their pitching should be getting hammered. I hope Houston rights it’s ship and takes care of them; if not, they will be a feast for the Yankees.
I was getting pissed at all the shots of him smiling.
I thought that for a second, but it really like he was just having fun, not being smirky. I can appreciate enjoying the game.
And then there were 6 outs left
I would rather sit in traffic on 610/59 S. for the rest of my life AND never move an inch before I listen to this game call again. No 🧢
7.2 innings in is a little late for the chipping away I requested earlier, but beggars can't be choosers.
Springer just missed that one.
...and that one by a lot.
And then gets a cookie that he just misses for the 3rd out.
You know, after JV's shitburger in the first inning, they've kept the Astros in the game. Just needed to rattle the bats more.
Credit to the Rays defense as well. If not for that, this game would be a nail biter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
BREAKING NEWS: Home fans like to watch home teams winning at home.
Damn Bregman, what are you waiting for?
Fuck, blue. That was out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Imagine Snell will come in to face Alvarez if he comes up.
Over/under on high fastballs this at bat?
Alvarez does not handle the high fastball well.
And Yuli takes 96 right down the fucking middle to start his at bat.Fuck.
Fuck game 4.
Everything hit hard was hard at ‘em.
Other than the one Chirinos hit out. But if the Rays don’t cut down Altuve, then Alvarez and Yuli are trying to single in the tying run instead of homering it in. Big difference. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Brantley...Gurriel...Correa...Reddick...time to reach down and find a pair before Thursday because you're getting another dose of what you got tonight from the Rays.
Brantley at least hit two balls hard.
There are some Astros fans who need a serious gut check.
Alvarez never stood a chance against Snell. Yuli hit the ball well, but the Rays were in the right spot.
