What I was afraid of

I kind of hate Brantley ahead of Tucker

[Macklemore 2828]

Unprofessional hitter.

[Mitch Hedberg 2086]

Maldy should not get an AB.

Scherzer is going to be on the ropes relatively early.

the game is going to hinge on whether we get a key multi-run hit with runners that are his responsibility (probably around the time Abreu or Brantley are up a 2nd time) or whether we let them get off the hook. 

Or the first time through…

that was an absolute killer DP.

*denotes winner take all game played

He is 0-3 in Game 7s (add 2020 ALCS) and he is 2-8 in winner take all games with his lone 2 wins coming 20 years ago vs Atlanta.

There is a reason he has a postseason history of being a scrub prior to inheriting Luhnow's Astros

In case people like @Vic Mackeyforgot how horribad Dusty is when he doesn't inherit a dynasty from the previous regime....

[Mo Horn 8680]

OK Hunter this is your time to show you truly belong to be in the rotation in the biggest games. 

[D3zii 3581]

There ya go, I’ll take 1 an inning, 

 

even tho we leave absolutely to many on, which is our fucking problem, but I’ll remain positive 

 

[hornmpa96 2516]

[Gut Wagon 8017]

I'm sick of so often getting so little out of RISP. It could well cost us the season. But at least the crowd's back into it. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2086]

Fuck! Damnit. Tucker should not be 6 no matter how bad he’s going. 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 18303]

So, bullpen game?

How does he not get to 2nd on that hit?

That was huge.  It took an unlucky bounce but it still seemed to take a long time for them to get to

[Honeysucklerose 955]

Absolutely was. No clue how he didn’t go to 2nd

LOL. Half this thread wanted him benched.

[hornmpa96 2516]

Glad to see Chas woke up from his nap.

[Overlord 366]

We’ve done a good job of keeping Semen off base for Seager. Seager’s gonna get his. 
 

We just gotta shut down the others. 

[cabowabo 4379]

How old is Seager’s bat.  Is it wood??

[utxmike05 1825]

Need a serious offseason investigation into curses on MMP.  Reptile can't even get thru 1 inning at home. 
 

 

[Mo Horn 8680]

Of course Seager finds his stroke in a big game

[Mez2 4010]

This zone is fucking atrocious 

[Rockethorn1978 6059]

Every inning. They came to play and as of now we didn’t. Except altuve Alvarez and abreu. The rest have to step up.

[Mo Horn 8680]

Nice job Hunter

[WBT 20132]

Chip away

And ph Diaz, one time

[Pimphand 5502]

we knew that going in...

[rvm96 1643]

I'll take 2 more scoreless innings please Hunter

[hornmpa96 2516]

Can someone at the bottom of the order answer the fucking bell tonight?

[HtownHorn 14285]

Need the bottom of the lineup to do something today.

[Mez2 4010]

Lessgo!!!

[HOOKEM4 4871]

Atta boy Brown. Great job.

[Mo Horn 8680]

Just now, rvm96 said:

I'll take 7 more scoreless innings please Hunter

FIFY

[Rockethorn1978 6059]

There you go brown. Just give us some no runs innings and hope we can chip away here.

[Mitch Hedberg 2086]

Put Diaz in the bottom and it has a chance

[rvm96 1643]

They started barreling him up in IIRC his second inning last time so 3 would be GREAT imo.

[cabowabo 4379]

Take a god damn pitch Tucker. 

[tx 3 putt 74771]

Great job Tucker 

[oh_snap 692]

Tuck still trash

[HtownHorn 14285]

Tucker has no clue what he is doing.

[Mo Horn 8680]

Tuck's funk continues. One pitch and not even close

[Honeysucklerose 955]

Sit him. I know that’s nuts but it’s an automatic out

[Rockethorn1978 6059]

Ticker just can’t get it going.

[cabowabo 4379]

Scherzer looks and acts like he’s on meth. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2086]

Damn Tuck take a pitch.

[perfectchaos007 6527]

Tucker aint got it

Hit and run. Do something Dusty.

[Macklemore 2828]

Good job Chas

[TexArcher 36905]

There you go, Chas.  Keep the stress on him.  

[oh_snap 692]

Nice walk Chas…. Work that pitch count. Gotta bust into that bullpen

[Dnaguy 11538]

Peña what are you doing up there.
