3 pathetic Ks against Kenley ****ing Jansen to end this pathetic season. What a joke.

He deserves to be embarrassed for leading this embarrassment all year. Do it, Jim.

Well at least I won't get my yearly new dose of gray hairs during the post season this year. Have a great off season everyone, here's to hoping Aggie FB finally puts a season together.

**** this team. I had been half checked out this back half since the coaching staff sucks and all these guys are charmin soft.

One day closer to Espada being fired

Jansens windup and delivery irritates the hell out of me.

if they don't let Garcia rock the baby anymore, I don't see how they allow Kenley all of the herky jerky movements

Can't believe I'll actually be happy when the Astros season is over. Hope I never watch another game managed by Joe Espada after Sunday's game.

In the end, losing all the games to CWS, COL, and LAA is why we have to make the change. We were absolute dog crap versus bad teams this year more often than not.

Only thing of interest was keeping consecutive postseason streak alive

the Astros fall to 23-27 vs. the West

5-8 vs. the A's
6-5 vs. the Angels
5-8 vs. the Mariners
7-6 vs. the Rangers

used to dominate those teams but no more

Poor management in the late innings.

I'm not sure why Murray was pulled after the great play by Cole. Did it really matter that Moncada was announced to PH? I would have taken my chances there instead of burning King.

Then, why PH for Cole with Caratini? I get wanting the righty left matchup, but Cole had just made a great defensive play and had been decent at the plate, why not let him hit and go with the hot hand? It would have been better the use Caratini in the 9th against Jansen.

And why pitch anything close to the zone for Trout?? He's the biggest threat in their lineup!

They blew a 3 run lead after the 6th inning. Just pathetic.

Horrible, Horrible decisions tonight.

Yeah, the tactical decisions in the 8th & 9th made zero sense. Just shows someone grasping for straws with no approach.

Those decisions didn't cost the lead tonight, but they may have sabotaged a comeback tonight or the remainder of the weekend.

Cole should have batted in the 8th

and then Caratini in the 9th

Espada traded a Cole at-bat for a Sanchez or Dubon at-bat

This kind of **** has been going on all season. Espada needs to go, and like now.

This was absolutely atrocious managing. Espada is not a real manager in my book. He needs to stick to base or bench coaching for good.

It's like he has no feel for the game at all. Sometimes, you gotta keep going with the hot hand regardless of matchup. This is over managing at its finest.
