Don’t be so quick to discount Hunter Brown giving up six runs by throwing everything down the middle of the plate. Oof.

This was not the best Hunter you’ll ever see, but the Astros did far more than enough to win in terms of getting on base.

Exactly. Astros just manage 3-18 RISP, we aren’t even playing the 10th.

Altuve, Cam Smith, Dubon, and Trammel couldn’t get help from the rest of the lineup, but Diaz and Short had the worst ABs all night long.

2-21. Both of them Altuve.

Short isn’t an MLB player and Yainer is having an absolutely terrible year and I don’t really understand it.

Yes, I know, I’m saying if they had just managed one more hit with RISP, Hader closes this game out in the 9th

This was the back end of a split-squad Spring Training lineup. Four guys who have absolutely no business playing at this level got 15 at bats and struck out 11 times.

Gotcha

There were guys running wind sprints in the outfield.

I mean, it is what it is. These are the only warm bodies left in the organization. Of course, that doesn’t excuse Yainer.

I was afraid that this would happen - BBGs having pity on Cleveland.
