Astros @ Arlington, August 5, 2024

[PuhlLemongello (J Mac)]

Fuck Blazing Saddles

[MusicMan (Michael Shopoff)]

Utterly fucking predictable.

This team won’t finish .500.

[MarkR (Buford T. Justice)]

Thank Christ we had Caleb Fucking Furgeson first out of the pen and didn’t think to keep our closer for a FUCKING SAVE SITUATION.

[The_Third_Man (Brent Ericson)]

Joe Espada special.

[MusicMan (Michael Shopoff)]

Espada seemed to have figured out the “Hader for 9th and 10th” formula but I guess that was too successful for his taste.

[HudsonHawk]

Four hits. 0 for 8 w/ RISP. Left the bases loaded three times.

Puke.

[Doyce7 (Doyce Kirkland)]

@HudsonHawk

Left the bases loaded three times

In 4 innings

[WVASTRO]

Biggest gut punch of the season, for me.

[Col.SphinxDrummond]

Totally deflating.

[PuhlLemongello (J Mac)]

HB with another good outing.

[Doyce7 (Doyce Kirkland)]

@WVASTRO

Biggest gut punch of the season, for me.

With all the gut punches we’ve had, this one only registers because it’s against the Rangers. I expected to lose the game from the 7th inning on

[PuhlLemongello (J Mac)]

Get em tomorrow - this only counts as 1L lets not pack more luggage into it.

[The_Third_Man (Brent Ericson)]

The Astros have had a bunch of gut punching losses this year.

[BillyD]

Exactly what I was going to type. Someone on this team is going to have to start getting big hits or this season is done for.

I guarantee you that the thought of waiting to use his closer in a save situation never even entered his mind.

[Astrojo]

Also, why Ferguson and not Scott?

Once Hader had to throw 25 pitches in the 9th, that option went out the window

[Doyce7 (Doyce Kirkland)]

@Astrojo

Also, why Ferguson and not Scott?

Ironically, because of the lefties coming up

[PuhlLemongello (J Mac)]

Happened a couple of times in July that
