Montero going back to bad habits I see

Of course.

Cover the fucking bag, Peña!!

Mental mistakes…

Such a dumb team.

Happens when you are down by 1 hit but 5 runs

I believe it. And, yet, he gets himself doubled off in September on a ball popped up behind the pitchers’ mound.

The error ought to be charged to fucking Peña.

He’s never been thrown out stealing.

There were four different ways you could have made that play, none of them all that terribly challenging.

Middle of eight…7-2 Royals

Whew!
Montero holds 'em.
26 pitches, 15 strikes.

For me, it goes beyond a potential offensive boost. The Astros’ veterans seem to be way too comfortable with the way September is going. It’s time to make them uncomfortable.

Like I said, JV gave up 5 runs to last place Oakland with Maldonado last week; Framber gave up seven tonight to the last place Royals. If Maldy isn’t getting the guys he catches to perform at acceptable levels, what exactly does he bring to the table?

The only good luck we had tonight

Be nice to see ONE or TWO Astros give a shit tonight.

It’s not just offense. The last two weeks they’ve given up six runs or more five times.

Well played. This made me laugh.

Bregman plays it smart, doesn’t swing

I wish I were that successful.

I’d say they have to get three runs this inning to have a puncher’s chance, but who am I kidding.
