[Official] Pirates @ Astros

Damn, by an atom...

 

Went from extremely lucky to one of the most unluckiest wow

 

that sucks.

 

Eta- Damn... looked like it hit the foul pole.

Then Bregs K's on a called-ball 3" off the plate... smh





Advantage Pitt, but at least we're winning.

 

sooo close man.

 

It didn’t matter but Altuve is one of the worst base runners I’ve ever seen.

 

Yordan needs to get hot

 

Anybody know why Ort disappeared after looking impressive initially?

 

All Big Jon does is make plays at 1B

 

On the bright side, if we can make it through the inning with the lead we have Abreu/Pressly/Hader all rested and available…

Since Espada didn’t use them in a game we were losing yesterday where everyone cried about.

 

That's just a misperception on people's parts. And probably a recency bias built in here. He's one of our most consistent hitters, a lot like Tucker in that regard.

 

Made 3 very good plays. Abreu probably makes none of them.

 

Maybe it’s time to take him ort

 

Just checked the game. Who is this Gort fellow?

 

You can only play the game that's in front of you. It was stupid, especially given what happened the night before, to not put your best option in the 8th and 9th innings.

 

Man I wish Bregmans blast woulda stayed fair.

 

Compared to who? You just notice it more with Yordan because you’re so used to him being crazy good.

 

Plus doesn't reach base.

His futility costed the Astros 5 games this season -- plus 1-2 directly vs SEA.

Guinness-level suckage

 

And if we had lost they wouldn’t be available tonight. You don’t waste leverage guys down runs. It was stupid as hell when he was using Pressly and Hader down runs earlier this season.

 

The fact that Yordan got credit for a hit makes me wonder.
