0 hits for Altuve, Bregman, and Correa with a LHP starting. Pathetic.

Altuve not trying to beat out the GIDP pretty well sums up the focus of this team.
They might as well just mail it in as far as I am concerned. Pathetic? That's putting pretty nicely.
Also.... F Big Papi. What a stupid son of a bitch

Now, it's time to bash Correa because he wants a long term deal worth $30 million or more a year. LMAO Take a good,long look at what some others are doing. So what happened to the Correa who lied about the masseuse breaking his rib so he could stay home in the sack with Hoochie Momma? Does that mean he isn't worth a damn today? He matured and became a leader. The Correa back then was immature. Why are Altuve, Brantley, and Bregman all AWOL in this series? |

F Big Papi. What a stupid son of a bitch He's damn near as stupid as our manager. We have had guys dragging their asses instead of running out ground balls for awhile now. I don't remember the last time Bregman tried to go full speed. |

I don't remember the last time Bregman tried to go full speed. As far a 1/2 speed.... I'll provide the benefit of the doubt if it is a cleanly fielded play, and there is no chance to beat it out. Altuve would have beaten that throw in this particular case with any additional effort. |

Normally, I don’t talk about hustle in a blowout, but Devers took forever to start the double play and Arroyo’s throw to first wasn’t even close. Altuve’s got to do more than one hit to make up for the outs he’s left behind on defense.
This offseason is primed for a shake-up, which could mean cleaning a little house. This is largely Luhnow’s team, and Click might be the type to want to put his stamp on things.

Once the Red Sox got the six run lead, we pretty much quit trying and that is totally unacceptable. Our team leaders let us down big time tonight. |

He’s scouted this team inside and out and uses his good relievers early and often to kill rallies. It doesn’t help that the offense has tuckered out trying to bail out this AA starting rotation. As far as our offense, name one player right now who can hit an outside pitch besides Tucker and maybe Correa. Their have the command to not allow pitches to drift over the heart of the plate, and it’s killing them. Eduardo Rodriguez has never been a great pitcher against the Astros or in general but looked like a different guy yesterday. Time to wake up. This is do or die time. |

If the Astros win today, then confidence is restored, by both players and fans.
There are only 3 teams ever to make it to 5 straight pennants.
Let's understand we all are very lucky to be in this moment.
Go Astros!!!

Let's understand we all are very lucky to be in this moment. Go Astros!!! We squeaked out a "W" in Game 1. Games 2-3 our staff threw batting practice. Hard not to get demoralized and have any confidence when Sox batted balls are lethal weapons. Look at the team, there is no life or interest. Even the so called face of the franchise lackadaisally jogged down to first on a GIDP that was likely beatable. The 5 pennants are a great accomplishment, but this run is more like a swan song than an exclamation point. This is a franchise in decline. There is a strong offensive core that will keep us .500+ish competitive, but thinking a team with this level of pitching can win it now and going forward is just folly. If a repaeat of the last 2 games happens today? It becomes more embarassing than entertaining. |

Now he is CC's biggest fan. I guess there is something to be said about flexibility. |

Didn't we get anything to fix this glaring mile wide gaping hole in the staff? |

The rotation was overall very good all season long. What we're seeing is a combination of a hot-hitting team and young pitchers that are throwing more than they ever have and they're exhausted. They're missing spots and allowing too many baserunners. Also, we're missing Lance. Who, funny nicknames and such aside, has been dominant in the postseason and we were counting on him to be able to start two of these games.
Then, as much as I like Altuve, he's missed two DPs (Game 1 and Game 3) that would have greatly limited the damage and would have gotten both Framber and Urquidy out of jams that might have allowed them to pitch deeper into the games with better success. We'll never know for sure, of course, but both would have been inning-ending DPs. Obviously it isn't Altuve's fault for the high amount of baserunners being allowed by the pitchers, but we have to make plays behind them sometimes (like we did in the ALDS).
Add in the top of our order going stone cold the last two games, and here we are.
I believe Altuve will get going again, but I have doubts about Brantley right now. I think he's hurting and tired.

I guess there is something to be said about flexibility. Players grow up and mature. That is what has happened with Correa and we have seen evidence to verify it. I never said Marisnick was anything other than an elite defensive outfielder and he was while he was here. His problem was he sucked at the plate. But, for a certain know-nothing to continually refer to him as the "worst player in baseball" was proof that he had no clue about the overall worth of a player. Jake should have been a late-inning defensive outfielder, pinch runner, or an occasional starter to rest another outfielder. We keep reading all about "Jork" from the same guy who told Correa to "GTFO" and then came back a week later to claim he hoped Correa retired here. LMAO. As far as a SS goes, when it comes to an elite defender, Correa IS indispensable if we are planning on replacing him with someone as equally talented. |

Why do you think Altuve will get going again, but, have doubts about Brantley? I think you are right about Brantley hurting and it shows. Jose's error last night opened the flood gates for a six run inning. I am surprised some haven't jumped in to blame Urquidy for allowing all the runs to score after Jose's error. That error got in his head and he was useless the rest of the game. I don't remember ever seeing him drag his ass going to first base like he did ont he DP ball. They gave up when Boston put up the first six runs. |

They gave up when Boston put up the first six runs. Because I don't think Brantley is healthy. If Jose is healthy, he has no excuse for not running when he could have beaten a throw to first base that turned into a DP. I agree with you about Brantley's health. I also think the Boston fans are in Jose's head. They have called him every obscene name in the book and it got worse after the error. He was never mentally in the game last night after the error. Bregman has no excuse for putting out less than 100%. This is the post season. If you have to "protect your leg" and aren't hitting anyway, maybe you shouldn't be in the lineup, let alone hitting in the three spot. The top of the lineup is killing this offense by failing to get on base. Altuve, Brantley, and Bregman have combined to go 5 for 36 in this series. McCprmick is 3-8 and sat last night so Siri could play and go 0-3. Castro keeps getting on base when allowed to get on the field, yet, Maldonado gets all of the starts because "he controls the running game" of a team who doesn't steal base. Yuli is 5-10 and bats 7th while Bregman sucks and stays in the three spot. The run production is coming from the 5,6, and 7 spots in the lineup while the top does nothing. But, you can be sure Dusty will not alter the lineup. |
