That Taveras AB showed more fight than our entire offense. What do Cintrón and Snitker do again?

Vazquez walked. Altuve walked. Two outs and Yordan at the plate. Try to double steal with Vazquez thrown out at 3B to end the inning with Yordan holding the bat on his shoulder. That doesn’t make any sense.

Why does the pitching have to immediately suck after the offense goes clutch?

That was CLUTCH by Abreu.

Seager grounding out to Altuve brings back memories.

Yep it appears Abreu has figured some things out. 3 outs with 5 pitches qualifies as a job well done.

Rough luck there. Three hard hit balls and no dice.

Bregman and Tucker both have an incredible recognition of the strike zone. A real professional at bat by Tucker in the eighth inning even though he did not wind up getting a hit.

Would we have won in regulation had our deadline acquisitions not gotten picked off the basepaths. I'm too tired to go back and count

Way to give it your all, Neris! Gotta appreciate the effort this late in the season.

I keep thinking about that play by Neris. That's leadership right there. He didn't have to do anything there and nobody would have thought a thing. But there he is showing the rest of the guys that this game matters.
Closing out the inning was the icing on the cake. If that can't motivate the offense to pull this game out, nothing will.

They should be focusing on his oppo approach and nothing else right now. Force him to wait back.

Walking as struggling hitter to load the bases and bring up the reigning Player of the Month who is a walk machine and one of the toughest grinders at the plate was...interesting. Nice to have the head-slapping management coming from the other dugout for a change.
