    there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

    The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

  • Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

You get chances early and pass them away, you get what you deserve. 

I'm loving the Bregman/Bergman thing. 

Altuve tried to will the offense to a victory tonight. Win tomorrow and send it back to Houston.

This Astros team is fucking infuriating

If you can't enjoy this era of Astros baseball, it's just not your sport

It can be done. It’s a long shot, but it can be done. 

Leaving 11 On base isn’t a winning formula!!  Turn it around tomorrow or wait until next year!

It's like I banged Sports God's wife and he found out about it.

"I need to thank baby jesus for my performance tonight" Guess we aren't very far from Talledega.

I'm not.

I wish he wouldn't have turned into a black fucking hole of baseball.

I mean the spelling errors. He is in a horrible slump.

Man what a disappointing series so far. So many missed opportunities to get a run here and there. Such a shame, we might not even make it back to Houston. Need 3 in a row to salvage this mess, gonna be tough.

Atlanta has a history of blowing leads. Lets win tomorrow and put some doubt in their minds going back to Houston.

Alright boys.  Once more up the hill tomorrow.

Bregman was beyond awful every time up tonight, and in most other games of late. Your #3 guy just can't be, especially when 4, 5 and 7 are also wheezing. Probably no reason to expect any miraculous turnaround tomorrow, but I'm sure hoping.

Dusty mismanaging the bullpen in the most important game of the year is not surprising.

I don’t know man. I’ve been driving the Dusty is awful at managing bullpen bus all year long and I don’t know that I particularly see it that way. I’m ready to listen. 
I hate that this group will only win 1 ring but that’s 1 more than I ever thought I’d see in my life so I’m eternally grateful.

Oh, it's all they're thinking about. They're Atlanta fans. 

Just pinch hitting Marwin makes me way fucking more pissed off than anything bullpen related.

 

That motherfucker should not see the batters box ever.

Especially from the left side of the plate.

If Dusty doesn’t drop Bregman to the 7th spot tomorrow, then he needs to stay in Atlanta.

Stanek in the 5th and Javier in the 7th was a complete fuckup. Not too mention letting Pressly throw 30+ pitches tonight in a losing effort.

I'm not sure why Javier wasn't the bridge guy after Greinke pitched and hit his ass off.

Raley should never be used in a high leverage situation.

You built your pen so that you would have Stanek, Graveman, and Pressly to get the final 9 outs, and for some reason he deviated from it tonight. It's the same as when Dieker used Mike Jackson in game 1 of the 2001 NLDS, instead of sticking with Dotel and Wagner.

I really like Dusty, he is a great ambassador for the game, and he is just a great person off the field. There is a reason why he has never won the WS, and has been fired twice after leading a team into the playoffs. Hopefully the offense wakes up and puts up 3 big games, but you had the game in your grasp and you decided it was best to deviate from your winning strategy.

Might as well start Aledmys at 3rd tomorrow.  Bregman's shit is beyond ridiculous at this point - .071 BA and .248 OPS in the series.

Can’t do that … Dusty might need Diaz to replace the AL batting champ to cover another stupid pitching change.

Greinke should PH for the pitcher when the time comes.

I’d be OK if Grienke plays 3B tomorrow …

Maybe we need a good old fashioned HR derby game tomorrow.

Maybe we need a good old fashioned HR derby game tomorrow.

well, through 4 games in this series brantley, bregman, alvarez, correa, tucker, gurriel, maldonado, mccormick, siri, castro, diaz, and gonzalez have combined for 0….


so maybe we’re due?

Really good post. My gauge was original intent was to save Javier to piggy-back Framber tomorrow, but once lead was cut to 2-1 and Maton narrowly escaped disaster (and no insurance runs were added) Dusty went into panic mode and wanted his “best weapon” (bypassing Graveman) covering 7th/8th to try to get to Pressly.

And now I’m sure Pressly is out tomorrow.

DP; Javier could never go more than 1 inning cause I forgot his spot was due in lineup; so I’m even more confused by bullpen strategy

Look…I wana be positive. But we only managed 2 runs in 2 close games with really good Stros pitching in both.  Both runs by Altuve.  And 1 RBI by him.  

ANDDD It’s pretty pathetic that we only managed 2 runs vs Atlanta’s shitty staff these past 2 games. Trash pitchers today and we choked it.  
 

i’m tired of going into every inning thinking “ok this is definitely the inning the bats go off!”
