2-0 middle middle cookie to Walker and he fouls it back. So brutal

CW remains just a hair better than Abreu

Altuve caught half-assing it

Yeah after that replay of Altuve, he needs to sit for a week

I want to go back to the hope and hype when we got CC back

Back when it was "get a few bats, get Yordan and some of our starting pitchers back then all will be fixed"

How dumb we were

Would've been much better if Straw had just walked it off.

This team deserves to miss the postseason and at this point I almost hope they do and save us two more games of this feckless garbage.

This is gonna be an L

Should we even watch the bottom of the 10th? You know what's going to happen

Sure feels that way

Straw starts on 2nd base

oh boy

We're going to be 3rd in the division by the weekend. Just awesome.

At least Jake put a good swing on one.

That's a polite way to say "he knows how to run bases better than Jose"

Fat lady is warming. Terrible, just downright awful loss. How Altuve isn't sprinting to 3b is just mind-numbingly stupid.

He hit it just short of his last swing.

It's easier to look past the TOOTBLANs when you're the GOAT and have MVP level seasons. But damn it's tough when it's JAG out there repeatedly making the same mental errors at age 35.

This team has absolutely quit on Espada…it was obvious as hell that it was happening back in late July/August. Would've been totally justified to fire him and name an interim then…the injuries did nothing but insulate him.

This game summarized in two parts of the box score

uh, where's the intentional walk to Vlad jr?

Just throw middle middle fbs and be done with this

Shoutout to 3B Paul, Socrates, KAF, and your very handsome host on each getting a square tonight as Abreu reaches 100 strikeouts for the year.

LOL

Game

Thanks but no thanks Altuve

Altuve has cost this team tonight with his legs, his bat, and his arm.

Is there any other way he can hurt us tonight? Geez…

gotta bring the outfield way in

Blum all but calling out Altuve.

There was no but to it. Blum scalded Altuve. That's as big a dressing down as you'll hear from a team commentator.

Altuve should be ashamed of himself, but we've seen that exact attitude all freaking year from this team and these coaches. They are not committed to doing the little things- working the count, sacrificing yourself, giving the extra effort. Bunch of miserable lolligaggers and their future HOF leader has set the tone all year long with his dumbassery on the bases.

Walk this guy to setup the force at home and potential DP.

Now we are getting really clever for a way to lose it.

It's an easy decision for Joe. You have to load the bases. He won't do it but you have to.

wtf is altuve doing there. About as lazy as his running to 3rd

Yeah Altuve should be benched the rest of the series. No excuse for this crap

the intentional walk is just not in the playbook

Never should have pulled blue balls and can't walk guts in the 9th

Kimbrel gets the K

All we need is a framber special. Thats it

safety squeeze goes foul
