Does Crochet get Tucker or do you go to someone else for a clean inning?

Engel, Leury or Vaughn against Pressley in the 9th

He would have been in there for Vaughn already. Also no way they hit for Leury.

Garcia and Vaughn are pretty much just a waste of space right now

I'd have Sheets PH for Engel next inning and then bring in billy, Engel is toast

Have to laugh at the radio broadcast. The station pimps sportsbooks all day, each half inning there are two ads to help with gambling issues.

But he’s given no signs he can be that durable.  

Oh I agree, but perhaps they think he can be that guy if he builds up enough innings.  Either way, he’s not that guy now and should not be the first guy out of the pen after pitching the day before.

unlikely to win a game in Houston when you give up 4 runs in 5 innings

I think they were all walked players too...

Hasn't every run Houston scored today reached base via walk?

Danny Mendick on the roster is confusing.

Playing Leury as much as he does is confusing.

Pitching Crochet yesterday and then bringing him in today first while Bummer and the rest of the pen is rested is confusing.

Why we hired a guy 10 years out of baseball who likes to drink and drive and is out of touch and is near 80, confusing.  

 

We are going to waste this window doing stupid things.

This series has highlighted the failure of RF in either FA or trade deadline. This bottom third is just atrocious

It was an issue the minute we signed Eaton...we just were fortunate not to really be tested in this division.  But all your weaknesses are exposed in the offseason.

Hold them here Tepera

Easy to see in a tie game. Show some faith and if you're wrong u won't die instantly.

Cheer up. I usually think I'm the biggest wet blanket on this page. If you wanna thow down though, I'll give it a try.

It's sink or swim time for Hahn's deadline acquisitions.

The Leury LaRussa love affair is something.  Tony loves his guy that can be mediocre everywhere.

Needed to hope he or Cesar got hot as Leury is what he is.

Giolito needed to give 5 innings that is on LaRussa for leaving him in but he needed to be better.

 

 

ELROY!

Nice catch by Eloy

Eloy sliding grab

Nice play Elroy

I mean, the answer is Reinsdorf, but let’s hope we can overcome it.

Eloy!
