This offense frustrates me so much.

That was a bummer for Lance, but this offense has to be so much better. Letting opportunity after opportunity go by with a wimper each time.

And one of your best power hitters over the last 28 games is sitting their resting his 31 year old legs a week before the playoffs.

It's because we've lost out power. 5 of those hits have been singles.

C'mon...Y'all really didn't see this coming?

Lance has a habit of cruisimg and looking unhittable and at the first sight of adversity he clams up.

That's textbook Lance.

His curve was so good tonight too. 9 whiffs & another 6 called strikes with it. Such a shame.

If only we had a manager smart enough to start his white hot lead off batter.

Dusty simply can't be back next year. He is awful.

Sitting George in any game in this series before we clinch is just plain stupid.

He actually was still fighting after the adversity...just made a bad pitch. This time it looked/felt a little different to me.

I thought back in the 2nd inning after he walked a guy that he was about to unravel, but he closed out that inning and cruised for 4 more

Yeah, it's a shame it was a hanging curve that did him in. Had to be fatigue in his highest pitch count of the year.

Our putrid offense isn't gonna get us far in postseason. ****, it may not even get us TO postseason.

The defense let him down. He could have been out of that inning with just 1 K, but he got the next too and needed another. It was the most stretched out he's been since coming back from injury. 1 cement mixer and the game is changed. Why can we seem to take advantage of mistakes like that?

Atta boy Dusty. Leave George on the bench the whole night. Don't change Lizard. Don't ever change.

The tough thing about that HR is now you can't bring George in to PH to lead off against Gonzales.

Sucks all the way around. I just feel like George would have hit one really hard against Gonzales.

Dusty needs to give Straw the Doc Brown to Willie Mays Hayes treatment.

Straw 1 for 29 vs lefties in 2020. Impressive

I actually don't hate not leading off George there. Put him in with runners on. We need 4 runs just to push extras.

Straw's main attribute is his speed, yet his ABs give him no chance. In his 4 ABs tonight, 3 in the air and one K. Fix this and have him learn his role and value to this team or sit him.

Well, doesn't make sense to bring him in when you're down 4-0. Would have made a lot more sense if we were only down 1-0.

Now you gotta hope the bottom of the middle of the order can get on base to allow him to PH for one of the guys at the bottom.

Exactly. If we were down 1-0 it would have made sense to PH George. Down 4-0, doesn't make much sense.

The real conversation is why he wasn't in the game to begin with.

I still can't believe it when we actually need to beat this team head to head. It's such a flabbergasting decision to waste bullets against the team you actually need to beat to make the post season.
Beat40

If we don't make the post season this year, I'm going back to the Angels DH blowing 2 2-run leads in the 9th and this game for sitting George in a game where slugging could have made a difference.

But dude...He hasn't run in a long time. He's fresher than George.

It would have been nice for Tucker to get 1 more AB vs Marco. It's almost like guys like Straw and Yuli shouldn't be batting before him.

Why couldn't we go
Altuve
Brantley
Bregman
Tucker
Yuli
Correa
Reddick
Straw
Maldonado

Give Jose another error. He had time to set his feet and throw him out.

Don't disagree with this assuming you're keeping George out.
