Tough one to lose. Not sure I go with the rookie on that pinch hit scenario.
We take the next two. They got lucky tonight

Great start in Oakland, but tonight was still a bad loss blowing a 4 run lead.
Offense got complacent. Bregman striking out looking with 1 out and the bases loaded. Correa doing a bunch of nothing with runners on base. Hopefully it's a wake up call.
Rocky start for the Angels but they seemed to settle in as Quintana did.
It hurt us big time leaving the bases loaded with Bregs and Yordan up.
Oh well...We weren't gonna win all 162 anyways. Come back and get em tomorrow.
And LOL at Angel fans acting like they just won GM 7 of the WS after #5 of 162.

The biggest thing that hurt tonight was not getting those hits with RISP.
Need a couple more of those tomorrow.

I hope so, but you know there's only one more game on this road trip, right?
F me. These late games mess me up
Am I really going to have to wake up to ESPN sending a special notification everytime fans boo the Astros?

Yes. They relish in it. Probably only being sent to people who list Astros.
Glad I didn't stay up to watch that
It's going to happen all year. Anytime the Astros win it will be a non-story, every time we lose the national media and opposing fans will go crazy and taunt us
Honestly it's better to just ignore it, or laugh at it. Last year I always got really annoyed and started to take it personally. But now I just think it's amusing

It's just pathetic dodger fans. Angels fans don't care at all.

also, turn off espn notifications, stop going their website, stop reading their op-eds. much more enjoyable this way.

I know a lot of it is probably bias but Blummer and Co. have ruined other baseball broadcasts for me. I think they are the most underrated team in sports
Really exposed ESPN for the garbage job they do with baseball

I still love going on ESPN. I just ignore the anti Astros rhetoric and stories. I use YouTube for watching highlights since they actually have the MLB.com 6-8 minute highlights.
I also Muted the words "buzzer" and "trash cans" on Twitter

I crashed last night before the bottom of the 8th, but why didn't we bring in Pressly once things got bad for Smith? He's got a better shot at getting the strikeout and a lower shot of walking (not that Taylor walked anyone unintentiaonally). There is no point saving him for the 9th when you didn't even get there.
Also, WTF is Ohtani staring down Smith for? On what world would he want to hit him on purpose with an offspeed to load the bases in a close game?
Broken record I know, but Rob Manfred and MLB really screwed the Astros. Yes, everyone understands that they broke the rules and deserve punishment. But it is clear that MLB (along with dip **** Fiers) made the Astros the public face of cheating during this era. And it is so imbalanced. The anger. The target. This stuff is like 3-4 years old. And the media is soaking it up.

This was the biggest WTF from the whole game

100% accurate.
MLB and Manford are hypocrites.
Look at the All Star game. They pulled it from Georgia. Agree or disagree with the move, fine. But they're moving it to Colorado. Colorado has very similar, more strict in some ways, voting laws as Georgia. Complete nonsense.
85% is really low. I'm not sure I've seen one lower before.
Scrolling through each of the scorecards from Umpire Scorecards, he has the 2nd lowest consistency percentage as well this year at 87%. He is just a bad HP umpire. Most of the other consistency percentages are in the mid to upper 90sFarmer1906 said:

Wait till tonight if Angel is behind the plate.
At least today's game is at 3, so they don't have to wait too long to get back on the field.
What's considered a "good" umpire percentage?
The avg for Accuracy and Consistency is 94% and 96%. Above that should be the goal.

It mostly depends. My guess is the average pitches per game across the MLB is around 300, so a percentage of 95% means you missed 15 calls. For me, I think 15 is too many. I would want my umpires to miss no more than 10 out of 300, or around 96.67%.
It's not a miss on 300 pitches, it is a miss on pitches not swung at/pitches taken. So the outcome would be lower than 15. In yesterday's game, 201 pitches relied on the umpire to make the determination. A 95% success rate would be 10 pitches incorrectly called.Beat40 said:tjack16 said:

Good thing I had to get up early for work and bailed in the 5th. Woof.

Thanks for correcting me on the number of pitches. I
Honestly forgot to take into account swings on pitches!
So my ideal was no more than 10 calls missed on 300 pitches, or about 96.67%. For me, that is still an ideal percentage, so of 201 pitches, that's between 6 and 7 missed calls. That works for me.
Know who would miss fewer pitches. Robots.
I didn't see it live but just watched it on Apollo's Twitter. I love how Machete wasn't having any of it and started walking in Ohtani's directionFarmer1906 said:

I 100% blame Tampa Bay and their abuse the BP for last nights loss. Perfect example of when you should yank a struggling reliever last night.
