He pitched Bummer against 2 righties and a lefty who was 5 for 7 off him before that. That's 100% the wrong time to use him.

Lucas should have had the shortest leash imaginable. Instead Tony let him pitch to 3 hitters, 2 of them walked and the other one almost hit a 2 run shot off him. But La Russa didn't even have the bullpen up until after Brantley's fly out.

Hahaha omg then why the hell did you put him in? Why the hell have we been using him in that role all year? Jesus Christ this is so fucking sad. It's almost like he's saying I wasn't the one making the decisions.

The fact that nobody was even up in the bullpen to start the 5th was absolutely shocking.

That ball was also a rocket. Kimbrel doesn't get no blame here either. For someone who was supposed to stike out 35% of the guys he faced he allowed 2 liners to RF in a situation he's supposed to miss bats in.

TLR wasn't HOF quality in 2011 with his bullpen phone meltdown in game 6. That shit basically cost them a World Series game. He was too old 10 years ago.

It's that way because you made it that way, you dumb fuck. He basically turned a 5-4 game into a 9-4 game by putting Leury in RF. All so he could hit Cesar Hernandez to lead off an inning.

If you would have told me before the playoffs that Luis Robert would be 6 for 8 to open the series, I would have said we would be up 2-0 in the series.

Lucas had good stuff, but the command wasn't quite there after the first inning and the Astros just stopped swinging at his slider. He really should have come at them more in the zone. Those walks killed us today.

Our pitching has been ass this series. 5 runs ain't great, but had we pitched better we might have won this game. TLR also helped put it away with that dumbass decision to have Leury in RF.

Yaz was real close to untying this game in the 7th. The ball he hit was a much harder play than the one Leury missed. He hasn't showed up, but it's not because he's not hitting the ball.

TA hitting a lot like he did against the A's in the playoffs last year. TA, Abreu, and Robert have showed up this series and yet we have 5 runs.

He's saving Kopech for a game 4 that might not even happen.

Hawk's mistake 30 years ago is still fucking us today.

He had a 3 inning save against the Astros last year in the ALDS

lmao nah he's gotta let Cesar hit to make his overmanaging earlier look better.

If you watched the last game of the season no sane person would have let Leury play RF in the playoffs unless it was an absolute emergency.

lol I just saw that and I can totally picture Gruden saying that.

Haha now we bring in Liam?

Only Tepera was a good trade and he didn't even pitch that much for us. 2 of 3 moves by Hahn at the deadline cost us this game.

Yup. TLR making a fairly meaningless offensive move turned into a huge issue on defense that cost us the game.

Um why is there pinetar on the ball?

lol that's definitely a hit against us. We don't even shift to have a fielder to get close enough to make that play. We're just behind the times in terms of analytics.

Not only did we not hit like we can this series, in the one game where the bullpen and the manager matter they both implode. TLR needs to go. We've been playing with a hand tied behind our back all season. At least Ricky fucking won a game in the playoffs last year.

Astros catch the hard hit ball the previous inning by Grandal. We don't catch a liner right at the RFer. That's the difference.
