Ugh thought that was out

Just not our game. Ball was hammered just right at him. 

Man, Grandal just missed that

He needed to be a bit more under that one to hit it out. He got the exit velo, just a bit low on the launch angle. 

ball really doesn't seem to carry like it used to here.

Some better at bats last couple inning at least. This game has been over since Brantleys hit in the 4th. 

Well, the good thing is that their 2nd best reliever won't be available tomorrow and also looked like crap.

Low leverage situation. His favorite.

So... 6 in the 9th then the mad Australian?

Yeah easy to look good when the other team has a 98% win expectancy.

Astros fans needed to be waked up by White Sox fans. Pathetic! Lol

Did you just not want to pitch Lynn all series? 

Not 1st and potential 5 th. Games. Winning the first game away was key.  Now Gio will be under more pressure.

I simply disagree about earning things being a concern to consider  in a win or go home series. This is not the same as earning opening day of the season.

Having a sub 3 era earns you playoff starts. There is no legitimate argument that Lynn wasnt starting game 1 or 2. It just wasnt happening.

Dipoto getting crushed for that trade never made sense to me. Getting Toro for Graveman is a total fleecing.

I remember when Jake Lamb came within 5 feet and a really nice play from Taylor Trammel from walking him off. 

We gotta draw walks game 2. Scratch and claw. Get hit by a pitch again but start a fight next time. Shake these guys up. Can someone bunt on? Probably not lol

A season is full of low leverage situations so he'll continue to have a job if he does well in them.

At some point, Grandal has to shake the Postseason hex he seems to have. I knew he was bad, but I didn't know it was .120/.283/.293

You are a hero my friend!  Just scored a pair in the lower bowl!

Happy to help bud. Now we need to win tomorrow. I need to fly in from Florida and can’t book on a moments notice!

That was all about timing. He should have read the room. You can make that trade when the other team isn't in the opposing dugout. IIRC, they had also just came back against them the night before. Just really bad timing. 

Time for another fantastic finish!!!
