No, it wasn't. It showed up after the Alvarez HR because I was literally typing my response and hit Submit, then I saw the Alvarez HR. And the point still stood because it wasn't about Alvarez. It was about Bregman swinging at the first pitch of the inning against a guy with noted control problems and then worthless-arse Tucker, who swings for the fences every time. Bregman pops up and Tucker does what he's done all postseason. Needed one guy to get on base for that Yed HR to tie the game and they couldn't do that against a guy in Chapman who can't find the strike zone easily and who is a head case pitching at Minute Maid. I don't recall seeing you much around here in the regular season, but this team does this on a regular basis. It's why they had a losing record at home. Selfish at-bats and a laissez-faire attitude.

Again, if you want pollyanna, they-can-do-no-wrong praise of these guys, you should try another thread. I'm like most folks around here. I want these guys to win, but I have no problem calling them out when they don't get the job done. I'm a fan. That's what most fans do.

Bud I've forgotten more about baseball than you'll ever know You sound as if you're at your mental breaking point, maybe take a look at the posts before me and after me and then shut off the computer. Either way, idgaf

ETA: The DAT is not the center of the Astros universe
