Astros at Mariners 9/23/26: Let's get to even

The complete and total shit your pants management of the last few innings is just a microcosm of this whole season.

Fuck Jim Crane for keeping this absolute waste of youth medium Astros uniform on.

As time has passed Crane has managed to hire worse and worse people in positions of great importance. I don’t know why that would change.

Espada has got to be the dumbest manager this team has ever had. Someone has got to be in the bullpen getting hot even if you bring Hader back out for a 2nd inning. I don’t care if it’s one of your starters! You have got to find a way to win that game.

You’re not wrong. I can’t think of a single place the org has improved since 2019.

Jesus Fuck Christ I’m so fucking mad right now I’m not going to be able to sleep for an hour.

I cannot get over how fucking stupid Espada is.

Geez, didn’t know he was with the club. He was a Perth Heat guy years ago, I knew he was in the minors system for a long time but he reappeared last year in the ABL playing for Adelaide (which stings) and he won the final game of the championship series for them. It has been a long road to the majors, good for him.

I said “game over” as soon as Hader challenged the pitch that was over the umpire’s head.

I’m certainly no pitching coach, but I know enough to see that when every fastball is wildly up and off to the arm side, he’s tired and flying open.

Having no one warming up is criminal. Even King would have been a better option after you saw that first batter.

That said, this game never gets to extras if Spence can execute a basic fucking slide into second.

From the Athletic:

"If the Rangers and Astros lose their last four games and the Mariners win their last four, all three teams would finish at 78-84, and your AL West champs would be … [drumroll] … [drumsticks falling on the floor, clattering around] … [drummer faints, falls into drum kit] … the Seattle Mariners! They own a three-way tiebreaker based on “overall winning percentage against the other clubs, combined,” which is a really fun and easy thing to explain.

What a hilarious mess."

Mess would not be how I would describe the situation. To me, it’s more like a pile of stale dog shit that’s been sitting in the sun for several days on old artificial turf. Even that may not be accurate enough.

Jose Altuve has produced down the stretch

Yordan has been a stud

Janier never gets enough love, he has.

Paredes has. He always does. His sac fly to right last night was impactful and goes against his pull only persona.

Jeremy Pena needs a testicular transplant. There is no structural damage so that means your owie hurts. Damn sorry to hear that. Take a pain killer and play for goidness sakes.

Fuck all the way off.

If you think he didn’t say “I can play” and just sit while Espada wanted him in the lineup, you’re somehow even more ignorant than I thought.

You are a moron. Do you see Cal Ripken sitting when the season is on the line and there are five games left..

He is just another “I won’t play unless I am 100%” scott Boras todies.

Correa had to be shut down, Pena has to be told he is ok. Damndest thing is Correa has Boras as an agent.

Difference is in the desire to win.

So you think Espada shut him down? So you think Espada with the season and his job on the line kept Jeremy from playing?

You being nothing to this site other than a shitty attitude and a D- Twitter poster’s understanding and opinion. Shut all the way the fuck up and go away.

If Pena said he couldn’t go, he wouldn’t have fucking pinch ran late in the game. And yes, it couldn’t be any easier to think Espada sat him today. Have you not watched that dipshit make stupid choices all fucking season?

Considering Espada had no one warming up in the bullpen in the 10th last night with Hader gassed and clearly struggling, I have no confidence that Joe would do anything that would help his job.

Yes.

You understand nothing about baseball, probably nothing about life, you add nothing here and are the ultimate keyboard warrior of “oh, these guys are so soft.”

Eat shit and leave. You’re not wanted here.

Oh for Gods sake’s he was running.

Nut up and get in the fucking lineup Jeremy. Take a pain killer. There is no structural damage. That means it hurts because you got hit with a pitch.

That is not very nice. You are giving social media a bad name.

U FOO!
