It smells like a team that has several key nagging injuries and unreliable pitching to me.

I believe Peña and Alvarez are hurt. Doesn't excuse the crappy baserunning tho


That would make it completely inexcusable what is happening with Diaz then. Play Dubon and Diaz everyday and let those two heal.

I thought for a second you quoted something from after the first A's game.

There was zero intention of swinging the bat in any of those pitches


I gave up watching and had game cast on

That said holy sheet those look like whiffle balls

Nobody is hitting those and that does not look natural

to borrow a quote from Larry Dierker after another NLDS loss:

"he looked like he didn't want to be out there"

How in the world are the Astros favored tomorrow with Javier against Bradish? There was a lot of money to be made these last few weeks betting against the Astros

This wasn't the series to be pissed about, he's a few games late.

I'll support him if he leads a mutiny. Might be too late though.

10 games left. Considering 3 are against Seattle, and Seattle and Rangers are playing each other, 7-3 will win division, 6-4 gets us in. 5-5 or worse there goes the season. A's, KC and Yankees series fails loom large right about now.

Diaz has started 81 games out of 152 to date.

Dude slashing 286/309/552/861 with 21 doubles, 23 homers, and 59 RBIs for half a season

Couldn't have more, Maldy and Julks had to get PT

They need advanced analytics to estimate how many wins a manager cost his team.

It's easily ten for the Astros

I will be pleasantly surprised with any wins against Seattle. So really it's do absolutely whatever it takes to salvage tomorrow and win 2/3 absolute minimum against both KC and AZ and hope for some help.

Easily 10 games.

Dusty is our biggest handicap this year.

If we make the playoffs I really hope FO has veto power and tells Dusty's lineups to **** off

I'm not hopeful when we have lost 8 out of 10 matchups against them already. They are our seafoam green kryptonite.

Also worth noting if the Stros even manage to win the division, the lead over the Twins for the 2 seed is down to four games. Which feels like it could evaporate pretty quickly with them playing the Angels, A's, and Rockies their last three series.

But I suppose there are more pressing concerns now anyway.

the Astros need Seattle to whip the Rangers in their 7 upcoming games

so the 'stros can slide into the last wildcard

I think it's the only path to the playoffs

You can't have a winning streak without the first one. Might as well start this afternoon.

Only path, eh?

I think if we lose today, we will lose the division. Can't believe I'm saying that but it's how I feel.

Zero excuse to not win 3 of your next 4. 10 games left and pretty much need to go 7-3 or 6-4

Save room for AL and World Series Champs too.

We're not winning out, and I don't think we win today. The Orioles are just too damn good on offense. We can't keep up. They remind me of us last year.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say playoffs start today. Someone tell Dusty.
