    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

Son of a Aggy!  

They showed some fight in the 9th.  Maybe it is a start of some momentum.

must win tomorrow, bats need to come out hot 

3 fuckign hits in a row, sank us 

At least they showed some fight at the end.

Would have been extremely depressing if we never threatened

AJ Hinch really is a beast. damn came to the team that fired em and won the opening game lol 

Just needed to elevate a little bit

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

Whatever it is, it just got better. :(

Well they have used their silver bullet. Lineup ain’t shit. Hunter and Kikuchi will shut them down and we can score enough to win two. 

Still like our chances.

Hinch continues to do the most with the least. Probably the best manager in baseball 

Makes me sad to see him on the other side.

Astros still suck at home in the postseason. 

We should have requested a series in Detroit. Not kidding. If we somehow pull this off I’m glad Cleveland has home field next round

bold move starting skubal

bats need to come out hot tomorrow 

Definitely like the chances against the Guardians.  Fuck 'em up tomorrow.

Breggy's ball was a foot short a few innings ago and that last ball was waffle crushed.  Not our day.

But they have to start a mortal tomorrow.  I think we'll get it to a third game.

Yup this is how the dynasty ends....

 

 

age, old knees, pitchers elbows and salary cap have a muuuuuuuuch bigger impact

I hate losing, even in spring training. But with the way this game was going, I have to feel decent about it overall. Bats woke up and sustained a rally long enough for one swing to have produced a miracle win. Didn't happen, due to bad luck on that liner, but we finally showed a pulse. If we can't take the next two from a young team, that's just how it goes.

you needed a hold the top of the 9th to have a chance in the bottom half. who you throwing and giving that responsibility to ?

hader is the by the book move at this point of the season. if he blows it, you can’t second guess yourself. you put it in your best closer’s hands.  roll out presley and and you wonder if hader would have held the game and so on ….

 

if this was game 122, yeah bring in presley, ort or montero lol

 

Remember that if Pressly is closing out game 3.

i don’t see hader telling espada he can’t go game 3, if needed

For the infinitemillionth time, managers don't determine wins and losses. It's all about the players, always. The rest is just leftover space for internet warriors to bitch about managers that lose and pussy pedestal those that win.

Not a great feeling about this series. Yordan is dinged at the absolute worse time and Skubal almost certainly appears on Thursday. 

 

he didn’t look good on that double

he should just home runs tomorrow 

Who had the Detroit, Kansas City, & New York parlay?

False. If you start Martin Maldonado instead of yainer Diaz, or Dubon when Chas was a borderline all star then you have a lot to do with who won or lost. 
I would not  have brought Hader in for the 9th but it made sense in this context. Espada didn’t do anything to lose us this game.

Ha. Skubal isn’t pitching on Thursday man. If he does like an inning (he ain’t pitching)

They are playing with house money and have greatly exceeded expectations.  They could steal a three game series, but they are not built for the postseason at all.  

There is no way that they are going to risk a Cy Young winner with two more years of team control on less than two days rest after throwing 90 pitches for a chance to be eliminated in the ALDS.  

good for yuli, he’s had a damn great career. future hall of famer for sure (not retired number)

88 post season hits, just unreal man …

My comment re: Hinch was ill-timed.  This is not a moment for doubt and disunion.  There will be time for reflection and over analysis (and more over analysis as is the Surly way) when the season’s ended.  In the meantime, all the positive mojo we can muster must be brought to bear to get a win tomorrow.  It ain’t over ‘til it’s over….and it ain’t over.

Biggest game of the season is tomorrow, can't hold anything back
