Astros @ Braves, August 20 2022

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Bullpen has 4 losses this week.

2 of them actually giving up leads.

Blew 2 leads in this one.

ETA: correction, 3 loses. Maton have up 3 yesterday but Lance took the L.

Two run lead with 7 8 9 coming up in the 10th.

Fucking brutal.

Stanek throws two tailor made soft ground balls to win this game, but the brain trust decided to not play infield defense.

Ooof.

So how does Hunter Brown look?

Who are you replacing? The shift lost that one.

Stanek did his job. Management fucked him out of this game.

Thank you, A’s.

Stanek walked the winning run on base.

So he ain’t totally clean.

Altuve killed a potential big inning in the 10th.

He was terrible all night. Culminated with that failure.

Then he got a DP grounder to no one. I did not mind that walk.

Where was the pitch, the walk to Riley (looked like Stanek caught the corner) - he get jobbed?

Clusterfuck all the way around, though.

I’m on gamecast - so I didnt see it

Very close pitch. Maybe a tad low.

Braves are 51-20 in a streak and chasing NYM for division lead

The walk was fine. They lost because they purposefully moved fielders out of position to field game ending ground balls.

I’m just talking shit out loud…

Brown for Maton (he has options)

If you wanted me to get really stupid: Meyers down, Leon up

And I’m not talking/reacting about today’s game or anything like that.

It was a ball.

Do you even watch the Astros or just watch the Mariners?

It’s comforting to know that you will never stop yelling at this particular cloud.
