When your bullpen cant strike people out youll never win extra inning games with the Manfred runners. Another extra inning implosion after a big momentum come back. Bullpen every game feels like just waiting for the death punch. getting through the 9th with no extra runs felt like playing with fire.
Astros pitching allowed the bases loaded every game this series without a hit. First time swept by STL in Houston since Beltran showed Killer Bs how to postseason. Astros 2-12 last 14 games Espada doesn't help at all.
It def. was a punishing move. Gets immediately picked off which is the only reason hes out there (baserunning) then the error at 3B. Harris mistake baserunning didnt help either. Thank goodness we claimed him.
How bad this team is. Tomorrow is game 24 and the starting pitcher wasn’t announced before now. Team is depleted and defeated. I think Dana deserves firing too.
The bullpen gave up one earned run over 5+ innings today. Really weird how you’re only focused on the bullpen sucking. I’ve got news for you though…the entire team sucks. Starter once again can’t make it past the 5th inning. Idiot manager continually doing stupid ****. We have some random scrub cut by the White Sox getting ABs for us right now.
Time for Brice Matthews to be sent down to AAA. He's completely overwhelmed and the team doesn't seem to have much faith in him.
The Astros were not this bad, when they were bad! Three things need to happen immediately: 1. Fire Espada today. Put Omar Lopez in charge. 2. Fire the pitching coach today, and replace him with anyone— a High School coach couldn’t do any worse. Today, we hit 3 batters and walked 3. 4 of them scored. Pitiful. 3. Send Matthew’s down today. He’s not hitting. He’s put in to pinch run as the go-ahead run in the 8th and gets picked off. He then makes a critical error in the 10th. If those things are not done, ownership is signaling that they don’t even care about this season.
I'm keeping Yordan .. We gotta have some reason to watch.. well check in anyway.. I'd trade anyone that can fetch at lesst 1 good position prospect each... Correa, Walker, a package, etc..
Forgot to mention - Fire the GM before you do any of the above. That guy and his ‘magic’ pitching plan has damaged the team so bad, that it’s hard not to think that was his goal all along.
