Single makes it 2-0. Bases still loaded, nobody out.

Once Javier comes back, Brown has to go to Sugarland to figure his shit out

Hunter Brown needs to figure out how to throw strikes. Yainer Diaz needs to start taking control as the starting catcher and go out and talk to his pitchers struggling with their command. If for no other reason, to let them catch their brearh.

Espada needs to stop running brown out there.

Well, they did win his last start 10-9
I don’t disagree. But, Yainer shares some blame as far as I’m concerned. It’s like he’s allergic to mound visits.
Strikeout, double play
2-0 Mariners
Is it like O’Brien and time outs where he thinks they roll over to the next inning (half)?
It’s not Yainer’s fault Brown can’t throw a fucking strike. He’s a Major Leagie pitcher.

Is he supposed to go visit 3 times an inning? Brown has to be a big boy and figure it out

Exactly. Of course a catcher has to help guide his pitcher, but he’d be out there every other hitter when Brown can’t the side of a fucking barn. This is 100% on Brown, not Diaz.

Of course, not. Once in awhile would be sufficient. I can count on one hand the amount of times Yainer has gone out to talk to any Astros’ pitcher this year without a pitching coach present.
What do you think Diaz ought to tell him?
Brown hasn’t exactly left him any alternative

Man Diaz got royally fucked that at bat. “Strike” two was off the plate. “Strike” three was in the other batter’s box.
Brown’s had 8 batters down 0-2 or 1-2 and 4 of them have reached base
