fathom

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
