How do you not throw him a slider there? Did they not watch Jose hit for us for 9 years? 

If he doesn't hang the curve, Abreu doesn't hit it.

Bummer with runners on.... What can go wrong.

Yay bummer coming in to give up the games first run! So excited 

Of course all Abreu did last year was be a double play machine

So true

Can’t wait to see how this guy gives up 2-3 runs here.

More exciting than this?

We’ve watched Abreu chase thousands of sliders, but the guy with the best slider in the world doesn’t throw him one

No fucking walks!

here we go

Yeah you gotta go after him with your best pitch. Not your 3rd best.

God Tucker has such incredible patience

Patented Bummer leadoff walk

Oh look Bummer walked a lefty.

The difference between the Astros and us? The Astros probably score with the bases loaded. 

Flat out embarrassing effort at the plate when it counts.

Bummer struggling with the zone

Come on Bummer.

This is the exact same team, tons of singles and disappointment 

There you go Bummer!
