Javier shit the bed, but the Astros not scoring 9 runs against their scrubs is the problem. You simply cannot win with Alex Bregman hitting third. It’s not possible.

And a once every other game hitting a ball hard Altuve, and a Correa that is swinging a rolled up newspaper and…
Is he hurt!
As bad as Bregman is, Tucker left them on.
It’s been a team wide slump in Atlanta.
You can’t win leaving this many guys on base. Our hitters are lost.
Double switch with Yuli?
Who is playing first?
I know they led the league in runs, but I’d be really happy if Cintron and Snitker aren’t back next season.
I feel for Javier. He is a middle innings guy, not a late inning guy, but our maneuvering took Stanek out of the mix.

In the World Series:
Bregman is 1/14
Yordan is 1/10 (with a bunch of walks)
Yuli is 3/13
Altuve is 4/17
That is pretty fucking shitty from your best players.

Fuck you Buck, you conveniently forget to mention that Eddie Matthews played before the expanded playoff format.
Diaz for Yuli… 2x switch
Good lord why take Yuli out? Diaz on first
Astros’ hitters: Nut up and find a way to score some runs and win this game.

Diaz up first in the 8th, playing 1B.
Agreed. Using Stanek so early was a head scratcher. Raley not getting it done hurt bad too.
Bottom 7
Javier pitching
Duvall - takes slider for strike 1 0-1, ball 1-1, swings and misses FB 1-2, just missed low with FB 2-2, swings and misses a slider. Strikes out.
Swanson – swing and miss 0-1, swings and misses slider 0-2, fouls out of play to first base side 0-2, hits FB for home run to right. Tied game.
Soler pinch hitting – FB low inside 1-0, swing and miss 1-1, breaking ball low 2-1, home run to left. Braves lead.
Yordan hits knee on the wall trying to make the catch.
Pressley pitching, Diaz in for Gurriel in double switch.
Rosario – ball 1, swing and miss 1-1, fouls back 1-2, swings and misses a breaking ball. Strikes out.
Freeman – looks at high FB strike 0-1, swings and misses at low inside breaking ball 0-2, way high FB 1-2, Swings and misses a high FB. Strikes out.
End 7. Hou – 2 Atl – 3.
and using Stanek only one inning. Javier would have been better there.
