I’ve always thought he was a good bat off the bench. He’s taken some of the best swings for the Astros.
-
It’s simple, if he ran Acuna or Doyle and they didn’t score, then we would blame the players, not Venable. I would even excuse him for Newcomb over Davis.
-
Castillo has been terrible though and striking out on Brazoban has made them incredibly weak from the right side of the pen. The point I was trying to make is you’d think the roster would be a lot deeper than it is now, given how incredibly healthy they currently are.
-
Also lost tiebreak over Astros
-
Just crazy that two blown “hbp” calls that were obvious potentially cost them two games
-
Is it bad I thought you were referring to Romo
-
If they would have let Acuna or Doyle run for Romo when it was 1st and 3rd, there’s no way the Astros throw down if they steal 2nd.
-
Please flip flop Peters and Antonacci in the lineup
-
True, but some of these added players are hurting their chances.
-
He’s Will’s guy.
-
Players feeling pressure is one thing. Manager putting them in a bad situation is inexcusable. Happening too much with him. Somehow he was easily excused for the Schultz debacle.
-
Btw, Velasquez OPS is .733 vs LHP and .490 vs RHP
-
It’s 2-0 down 2, why swing?
-
What just really baffles me is how much worse the roster is now after the deadline and call-ups. Just a massive failure by Getz.
-
Amazing at bat
-
It was obvious to anyone watching that Newcomb was losing it
-
He’s obviously feeling the pressure, like a lot of these guys
-
If Castillo gives them no shot, they have to consider his role
-
Let Romo bat, let Romo run when on first, let Romo run when on second, keep Newcomb in to face righty
-
This inning rivals anything Grifol did. Also, so great to see Tyler Davis go from minors to high leverage guy. Wtf
-
You can’t let a platoon guy see a reliever twice like that. Does Venable’s dumbass know the rosters expanded?
-
Such a terrible in-game manager
-
Now you pull him?
-
Way to let him face him Will. We deserve to lose with this managing tonight
-
Why difficult, it was 100 pct obvious
