Finally hit one past Chapman.  If I were them, I'd walk Pina and pitch to Chirinos and Reddick.

Gulp... come on Chirinos

... aw crap

Fucking Bob Grossman walks us off

Sigh... pathetic. At least it’s over.

So I guess we have started our annual late season swoon that we always seem to have around this time?

We get to do it again in 13.5 hours!

Good thing we took arguably our best hitter out of the game in the 8th.

2 hours of sleep I’ll never get back

Tip of the cap to the bullpen tonight

Not to the bats...1 hit since Yordan’s double in the 8th

How long did the last malaise last?

Well, we're 9-5 in August, so context is important. We need to split this series.

Cy fucking sneed folks. Fuck relying on minor league pitching

The Astros relied on Major league hitters and they failed tonight 

Tanner Roark and Lou Trivino.  Two runs.  

On the verge of a 1-6 week.   Looking to Armenteros to stop the bleeding.  

Do what it takes to get this split, boys.  

Cy Sneed sucks cock

No issue with sneed tonight.
A’s hitters adjusted their approach in extras and finally scratched out more than one hit in an inning

Our guys never stopped flailing at junk/ trying for the one big fly.

Don’t hang this on Sneed.  Seeing eye grounder.  He did fine.

Seven games, so we should be close to done.  Maybe...

A’s may challenge us for the division if this keeps up

After 123 games last year the A's were tied with us for first place.

But yeah, it's possible.

100% this.  Forget the juiced balls.  Scratching out runs works.  Ask the A’s.  Go watch the 10th inning of Game 5 again to remind yourselves.  

Can’t wait to get run ruled tomorrow. Yay for trotting out another pitcher who belongs in MiLB

The Astros scored 2 runs in 13 innings. Your anger is very misguided. 

Looks like holding our own HR Derby for a few games has messed us up royally. I am not amused. 

In the postgame show after the 23 run outburst, Stanton mentioned the key was Astros hitters focused on hitting line drives and not swinging for the fences.  Get enough hard hit balls, the home runs will take care of themselves.

Ever since then it seems everyone is swinging for the fences on every pitch.  They should stop doing that.

If we’re going to pull Alvarez for pinch runners late in close games, we better also be sac bunting every opportunity we get. 

This thread is a nightmare after losses

I suppose it’s that way throughout the sports world. Basically means the team is good enough that losses suggest slippage in performance...which annoys fans of all contending teams. A series of slippages of course compounds the angst, and we’ve definitely had both this week. 

Let’s turn it around today. 

Time to move george and alex. Get something for them while you can. Neither are producing. Cant be trusted come October.

yep. Don't mind the call, just didn't execute. If Correa gets a base hit, Marisnik scores and this game would have ended 3-2 Astros.
Alot of "if" there.

"If" correa doubles, triples, or homers anyone would score from 2nd.

I hate that he keeps PR for Yordan because typically from my recollection it hasn't worked but a very low % of time and we lose our best one hitter quitter.

As someone else mentioned...we never sac bunt when fucking situations call for it so why are we pinch running on the hope Correa gets a single. What is the statistical analysis of the chance Correa singles? It has to be low as fuck. For a team built on numbers that seems to be a fucking retarded gamble....yet he continues to do it.

Let me do the math for you.

Correa has 39 singles in 301 pa. 13% chance he singles. He has 36 doubles+triples+homers in 301 pa. 12% chance he does one of those things.
He has 33 walks+ hbp in 301 pa. 11% chance he does that.


So for 1 fucking % more chance we take out Yordan.


Not on board with that.

That's right, plus he can't use Jake in the field, then he burns him by pinch hitting Diaz

I fell asleep in extras before the game was decided, but irrespective of the game result I still don't and will never agree with this fucktarded strategy AJ has employed a few times recently where he takes our highest OPS bat out of the lineup for baserunning and/or defensive purposes. 

I get the reasoning and I don't need to be schooled on the logic behind it, I just flatly don't agree with it at all. Yordan is our young Pujols, you don't EVER remove those bats from a lineup for strategic purposes. AJ is outsmarting himself here.
