Double switching with 1 out to get screams that you have confidence in the pitcher you're bringing in

It would have been close at home even running on contact. 

Not with the way the 2nd baseman fielded it. He jumped up to grab it and landed flat footed with both feet pointing towards home.

What a fucking waste of an evening and it didn't need to be. And what a fucking horrible at bat by Chas

Bump. 

What a shitty fucking loss. 

A's need to come alive to continue the division race of suck

Yeah… there’s no excuse for Jake not attempting to score there.   Dumb baseball loses close games.  

That’s not on Meyers. Unless he missed a sign for the contact play. If contact play isn’t on you don’t go until the ball gets through.

Yeah but a hit and run there with a high chopper to 2nd I think thats close to a 50/50 chance of scoring as opposed to a 25-30% chance the next batter gets a 2 out base hit. I would take my chances on the former.

I guess that's payback for the grand slam.

Exactly my thought.  Very similar finish.   

Dusty Baker with a Master Class on how to fuck a lead late twice. To everyone that thinks managers don't matter, I present to you tonight's evidence from one of the fucking dumbest managers in the history of baseball.

Devil's advocate: what was he supposed to do about the top of the 9th?

Fuck. 
The one guy that keeps getting a pass everywhere is Dana Brown. He didn’t do much of anything to improve this team all year. Especially the bullpen. Graveman and a bunch of waiver claims.  We have 3 and 4 time DFA rejects in our pen. Guys we never even heard of are pitching for a championship team in a pennant race. Ridiculous. And we wonder why the three or four guys we could depend on are breaking down. 

That's on the fucking manager for overusing them in the 1st half. Brown went out got Verlander. That should have been enough, but your manager thinks he knows every single fucking thing about baseball, and he fucking doesn't. Not to mention Baker is higher on the org chart currently than Dana Brown. I am sure if Dana knew what he knows now, he wouldn't have taken the job, unless he got full control of baseball ops.

When it's going badly, you invent new ways to lose. I wish we weren't so inventive. But can't say I'm surprised...at all. 

Here's a fun thought experiment: Astros v. Braves.

I went to Atlanta on my way to Tuscaloosa and watched the Braves play. They would murder us and it wouldn’t even be close.

I think Presley is pretty well rested

If they don't win the World Series, it's probably worse than us not winning in 2019.

no shit ?

theyre 5 to 10 years younger at every position, that alone is brutal. Now throw in talent

Pressly also owns a near 6.00 era in the 2nd half. The time to remove him as the closer has come.

Edited by HtownHorn

Run Neris out there instead of Montero and I don't think Pressly would have blown it in the 9th. Couldn't understand it then and certainly not now.

Yep.

I keep coming back to that game being lost when the decision was made for some stupid reason to go with Montero, Neris, Pressly instead of Neris, Abreu, Pressly against the best team in the league. 

Can’t have Abreu throwing the night after throwing 10 pitches the day before.

And so it dominoes and we’re up against it tomorrow since Pressly is for sure out for tomorrow and Neris (24 pitches) likely too.

So we’ll be relying on Maton and Graveman to get it to Abreu in the 9th if Brown manages to keep us in the game.

He’s given up 2 runs all year with Diaz catching. His cunt of a mother is on social media sayjng he needs to pitch to Maldonado. 
I hate this fucking team (other than you Brown and France- y’all are cool) and apparently their parents as well. 

America closers mom is on social media saying maldy needs to be his catcher? Sounds like a dusty Sock account

That game last night was a kick in the balls but fact of the matter is if the Astros treat the A’s and Royals the way they should have, then the lead is around 4 and that game was just a good game with the #1 seed and shit happens. But as it is, it’s just another pile of suck on top of a two week mountain of suck. This trend…I do not like.

I wish Maldonado would give him back 5mph on his fastball

Wasting a Maldy HR with a Pressley blown save is just *chef’s kiss* Astros 2023

Yep. 

That's funny, I'm sure Diaz's mom is saying we should be going with Abreu

How should he have covered the 7th, 8th, and 9th?

Slept on it, but I'm still annoyed with that loss.  Could be that I slept like shit with a low fever and headache after getting double barrel vaccinations yesterday.
