Odorizzi was doing fine until Straw dropped a fly out that should have been caught. These drama queens should be able to get past the random error and not completely fall apart. |

Emanuel with the huge game. As good as it was to see the offense back, he really saves the day.

Odorizzi was supposed to be the FA answer to the teams SP woes. Pfft! Any of our kids could do as well... most could do better... at a small fraction of what is being paid to Odoreasy. In the same way that Odoreasy was going to be the teams SP messiah, JBJ was supposed to be the FA answer to the teams void in CF. “Why didn’t Click get off his lazy, dumb ass and sign JBJ?” Have a look at these numbers for the 2021 season: JBJ - AB 73, K 37, BA .205, OPS .576 Straw - AB 68, K 13, BA .221, OPS .550 The Odorizzi signing was a knee jerk reaction to Framber going down. It was a mistake. Thankfully Click sat on his ass and didn’t sign JBJ. |

Every time a position player screws up and the opponent ends up scoring, you blame the pitcher. Some pitcher must have took a shit in your cereal at some point. |

1. Great game by Emanuel. We may have found another lefty.
2. Correa ignites the offense from the leadoff spot as did Springer. If this offense continues to roll, when Altuve returns, do NOT put him back in the leadoff spot.....Leave Correa there...If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
3. Bregman and Brantley had huge games.
4. Good to see Tucker get two hits including a home run. That is a good sign even if he did hit it off a position player/
5. Garcia showed us why teams keep releasing him.
6. Straw finally had a good game.
7. Castro looks much better than Maldonado....keep him in the lineup. Dusty won't because he's too damn dumb to realize Castro belongs to be the main catcher right now.
Overall great game. Now, we need a good start from McCullers tomorrow. Maybe "McTwitchy" won't show up again.

Altuve’s fielding gaffes were only a temporary setback. |

I think Izzi will be a solid piece if he's not injured. Expectations were probably too high. He's a #3 not an ace.

If our rotation is healthy, Odorizzi is about #4 or #5 behind Greinke, Valdez, Javier and maybe Urquidy. If Valdez hadn't fractured a finger, Click would not have signed Odorizzi. I keep seeing evidence that Click didn't do much of anything in the off-season. |

I blame the pitcher for what THE PITCHER DOES after an error in the field. You blame the players you dislike for everything and minimize the f*** ups of the ones you like. That is your opinion and it is not only biased, but, wrong. I won't blame a pitcher because an outfielder drops a ball he should catch or when an infielder makes a terrible throw that cannot be caught. I point out the positives and negatives of all of them. Altuve made a bad throw that should have ended an inning, and, as a result, instead of the inning being over, the next hitter homers. Jose was responsible for all three runs scoring because the batter would not have had the chance to hit a three run homer. Odorizzi made the pitch and got what should have been an out. Straw failed to catch it and it ended up costing us three runs. The pitcher isn't responsible for the errors of his teammates. I don't "dislike" any Astro player, but, I am not blind to their faults as you and some others seem to be. All of them make mistakes and all do well at times. The pitcher is responsible for delivering the pitch and not allowing runners to score that are on base due to defensive screw ups. |

He knows what the rest of us do.......Odorizzi was having a great game and got in trouble because of Straw's screw up in CF. If he makes a pitch that is hit for what should be an out, that is on the position player, not Odorizzi or any other pitcher. |

That "temporary setback" kept us out of the World Series. So did giving up home runs to Arozarena and Zunino. Seems like the bad throws that game were from Lance. |

Throws from Altuve cost us EIGHT runs in the ALCS. Straw's dropped ball ended up costing us at least three runs. Pitchers are NOT responsible for base runners put there by fielding errors. |

It’s not like he fielded a ball, put it in his pocket, climbed the outfield wall like Kiermaier and ran over to In-N-Out for a #1 animal style and a chocolate shake. |

Both of the first two starts he looked good at the beginning. I think he just wore out. He's behind schedule though. |

How did those EIGHT runners get on base? You hate McCullers so you blame him for little dumbass's throws. A pitcher isn't expected to pitch a perfect game. He made the pitches to get a ground ball out. Your hero threw the ball into the dirt so instead of retiring the side, they had two on.........totally the fault of Altuve. When a pitcher makes his pitch and the infielder blows the play, it is not the pitcher's fault. As I said, you blame the pitcher for the defensive screw ups. TWO of the EIGHT runners were on base because of Altuve's half-assed throw. |

Secondly, Gurriel was also at fault for not picking the throw. Talk about a guy who did nothing that series or in the whole postseason. |

If Altuve hadn't screwed up games 5 and 6 there would have been no game 7. 2. NO part of it was Gurriel's fault. He wasn't the one who made a throw straight into the dirt 8 feet in front of the bag. TOTALLY THE FAULT OF ALTUVE. He had a bad year with the bat, but, that had nothing to do with Jose's half-assed throws. Right now, he is the most consistent guy in the lineup while some little fart tested positive for COVID and has had a vacation. You could say he is the reason the other four missed games, too. |
