re: DAT 9/18: Astros (Verlander) vs. Orioles (Means), 7:10 CDT

I’d have had no problem with him using Mike there against that velo and needing contact, but Chas has earned the opportunity to take that at bat I guess Cano is just gross.

They’ve got to find a way to get Press into more ballgames I know he hasn’t been as good this year but it feels like his blowups come when he’s sat for an extended period of time and he loses feel for the spin. Only his 4th outing this month. Not trying to make excuses for his shittiness because he’s a professional and HAS to do his job in that spot but just seems like a trend that he really blows up if he sits for a while.

Abreu knocks the shite out of the ball before Tucker has 2-0 and 3-1 and couldn't get the ball out of the infield on two grooved pitches.

And that barely registers on the shite scale compared to Montero and Pressly going full retard.

I find comfort in the thought that if this September collapse costs us the playoffs, there won't be any question that we force this dipshit out the door.

Maybe Crane will find his nuts again and realize he values winning baseball over "hey man that's the way it used to be" baseball

The older I get, the less I get upset about my sports teams losing games.... But man, the Astros just piss me off with the bullshite they come up with to lose.

Abreu and Neris need to finish games now.

I still don’t understand why in the world Neris didn’t pitch the 7th, then Abreu, then Bag O Dicks. Instead Montero coughs up the lead. Questioned this the other night…what is wrong with Abreu? Only threw 10P yesterday and it had been 4 days since his last appearance.

Abreu was unavailable. Took a come backer to the elbow yesterday, had x-rays. Negative but not available to pitch today.
