Just think, we get Alvarez next.

Should have just thrown it down the middle to Pena and hopes for a grounder.

It's unreal how badly mismanaged this series has been against Alvarez

That's a spot for Latz and Latz only

The team constantly turning to Cole Winn in pressure situations is mind boggling. Another meltdown

Well there wasn't much we could have done there with the bases loaded and already down two runs......other than maybe get Cole Winn the hell out of the game.

Get back home for 6.

We're not going to be buyers, but division still there for the taking.

I liked Alvarez best when he spent most of the season on the IL.

Latz hasn't pitched in 2 days.

Glad I'm at the lake again today

What a pathetic excuse for a ball club. Everything in front of them after the last homestand. Hell, they should have swept Seattle minus skip's bonehead managing on Sunday then to go 1-5 with zero intestinal fortitude.

There is nobody that will stand up and say, "**** them. We ain't losing," and will this team to win. No attitude. It's really just sad.

He only has a 6.28 ERA. Seems it should be higher, but likely just because it seems the number of inherited runners scored is high.

Reality of IRS:

Quote:

---

As of the current 2026 season, Cole Winn has allowed 8 inherited runners to score out of 23 inherited runners, for an Inherited Runners Scored percentage (IRS%) of 34.8%. (Baseball Reference)

• Inherited runners (IR): 23
• Inherited runners scored (IRS): 8
• IRS%: 34.8%

For context, the MLB average IRS% typically falls around 30%, so Winn has been a bit above league average (higher is worse) at preventing inherited runners from scoring. (blogs.fangraphs.com)

So this new reliever we got is just a shiny object on the shelf collecting dust? Cole Winn, again? Really?

We're "saving" him.

Dave: "Let's see how aggressive he really wants to be with Seager here". Yeah Dave. He's going to pitch around the the .189 hitting Seager with a 4 run lead.

And Seager leaves the zone on 3-1, down 4 runs. Burger should be the tying run.

Pitched yesterday, but on 20 pitches. You would think he is available again today, he had several days off with the trade and travel time.

At least Dave worked in a Burger King reference before the pitching change to take King out

Seager just doesn't look like his typical self in the box. Obviously pressing

I didn't make the end of last night's game. I had to look at the box score to see if Silseth had even made an appearance yet.

It's the same **** he was doing pre-injury. Refuses to take a walk. He's selfish

Seager is a sad, pathetic black hole in the lineup right now.

On a different level of sad, Dave just called Murphy "Mike" on the broadcast

Hello Sweep Column!

Fire dave raymond

Fire kip ***g

Alvarez should single handedly be the reason Skip gets fired. All he ****ing does is feed the beast and fuel his mvp fire.

Im sick of these gutless performances. Im sick of us losing series with no effort or fight

Im sick of garden gnome altuve

Im sick of alvarez pulverizing us

Im sick of seager

I'll always be grateful for the 2023 championship and the only playoff series in history between the Astros and rangers going our way but

You could barely have scripted a worse outcome the last few years since we won the world series.

Blow it up trade everyone. Fire everyone. PLEASE

This is one of the worst series Ive ever seen this team put up.

Not sending pitchers out on normal rest always feels like the wrong decision. It looked like a really bad decision this series.

Managing with this series in mind and then getting swept could have a seriously negative impact on this team.

Time to see what they're made of and if they can fight through this adversity.

Agreed..........but he does make some good points.

Let's trade Seager, deGrom and Evo. Get some good prospects and move on. In fact, the only ones I wouldn't consider trading are Langford and Rocker. Everyone else is fair game. I would love to keep Latz, but we really don't need a great closer if we are about to fade. Trade him too if you can get some good young prospects.

Better be wiling to eat a whole lotta money in those trades

Correct.

Lost in the Skubal deal was the Dodgers eating $10M +/- on the rest of his 2026 salary.

2 of those guys have a ton of money on the books for guys who are aged and often hurt.

Evo and deGrom haven't looked healthy in weeks.

gigem1223 said:

Inexcusable walk by Winn. Awful outing

---

Nah... you're just panicking. IHIOGA, that NOW is the time to figure if we can make him a real RP. We still have 50 Games.

Skip doesn't need to start learning how to manage to win.

Evo gave himself a heatstroke in ATL. That was ridiculous.

At the game today with great seats behind the on deck circle.

Astros had a ton of bull**** hits but man the rangers didn't look great

Seager is a problem. He's not close on his swings. They all look the same. Dropping to one knee and whiffing. He wasn't good today. Or all year.
