WS Game 4 GDT: Astros vs. Braves, 10/30/2021 (1909)

[unionstation82]

How is every ball we hit hard not a home run?

[Saint]

That ball went further than both Swanson's and Soler's. Baseball gods are against us even when we do something good on the rare occasion.

Hey Corch, Saint how much do you want to Pay Correa now.

You sound an idiot for continuing to hammer him while nearly everyone else shits the bed. I'd still make him at least an 8 year offer at $30 million a year.  To hear you tell it, Correa is solely responsible for this team not scoring runs.

[koolade2]

I say this is Atlanta sticking to MLB for the screwing on the All-Star Game

MLB should have never caved to the Woke crowd was they were proven wrong

[blcoach8]

We just saw another reason why Dusty has never won a WS. Only a damn fool lets Maldonado bat in the 8th inning of a WS game when he is behind in the game. He had Siri and McCormick. Stubbs is there and can catch.

[fanastro]

The real bad move was taking Maton out, not Greinke.

[blcoach8]

Now, the dumbass is blowing Pressly for tomorrow by keeping him in this game.

[Ashitaka]

Maybe should have left Greinke in, definitely should have left Maton in, removed Yuli, didn't remove Maldonado...Dusty not looking good tonight at all.

Jut Riling you up.  I really don't like him since he pulled that crap a couple years ago.  By the Way it was nailed when he tap his watch and indicated it was his time.  well his time has been a bucket full of Bull Crap
He is a .279 hitter with .850 ops there are a lot of players that hit like that and aren't Jerks.  

[unionstation82]

This game was the result of bad pitches. Maton and Javier threw horrible pitches at the worst times. Riley and Swanson were as good as struck out and were handed hittable pitches. How many hittable pitches were handed to the Astro hitters?

[Ashitaka]

He's just gonna let Pressly throw like 30+ pitches despite not having a lead or something I guess.

[kyledriver1980]

Is Dusty just going to let Pressly pitch until his arm falls off?

[Ashitaka]

The silver lining to this is, after a choke job in the WS, Crane can get away with letting Dusty go and hiring someone else.

If we got any pitches to hit, we didn't hit them most of the time. If Bregman is in the lineup tomorrow, it proves Dusty has lost his mind.

[Saint]

Dusty's decisions haven't all paid off today, but again, it doesn't matter if you only have two hitters. Altuve is trying to single handedly carry the team with a couple of nice hits from Tucker too.

The old fool is wasting him and he won't be able to go tomorrow if we have a lead.

As we go to the 9th, the big question is "how will Breggie make an out this time?"

[koolade2]

On another site not baseball-related they are saying it's because Trump is there and now they have back-to-back dingers. LOL

[Saint]

Herculean effort by Pressly to keep us in this. Maybe somebody will come through in the 9th...

Counterpoint: they matter so much more if you only have two hitters.

The big guys have to hit.  That's what carried us all season.  

[koolade2]

It's Brandon time got a kick out that reason

[paastrosfan]

Well a few years ago in SF they pulled a defeat to victory against Smith in the ninth.

[unionstation82]

The only move I hated was taking Greinke out. It seems to be tradition to screw him out of wins when he’s kicking ass.

Yup. He has been pulled from some big starts in the postseason in his time here.

[Ashitaka]

LOL Bregman pops up on the first pitch.

Not even kidding anymore. He shouldn't be in the lineup tomorrow.

[Ashitaka]

Atlanta has scored five TOTAL runs in two games and we've lost both of them. No city does sports choke jobs quite like Houston.

[Saint]

Well it was a strong season and another pennant. I just don't think they have the juice to win 3 in a row at this point. Hoping for the best, but if we can't get more from our middle of the order it'll be over in 5.

[unionstation82]

I don’t think I want to watch another game this series. Those chokers can go practice on their PS5.

[paastrosfan]

It all comes down not hitting in clutch situations. It is a team game, the ducks were out there stranded.

[talshill]

Man, sometimes I just hate baseball.
