Javier pitching, man on second.
Swanson – ball 1, FB up and in 2-0, swings and misses at breaking ball 2-1, same pitch, same swing 2-2, same pitch, fouled off still 2-2, hits FB over the Crawford Boxes, 2 run HR.
still one out.
pitching change.
Hard to win when you don’t hit and don’t pitch. The hitting was a much bigger factor before tonight.

I don’t really mind Soler’s home run. Doesn’t thrill me, it was a horrible pitch, but I can live with it. When you run around giving out homeruns to fucking scrubs, that’s where I start to get a little agitated.

That may as well have been an instant replay of Game 4.
Bounce a fucking slider you dicknose, don’t tee one up.
I need the Astros’ offense to fucking vaunt, like game 5 against the Dodgers in 2017.

Might have been different with a healthy Verlander and McCullers.

The Astros have scored 20 runs in 5 games and 4 innings. 16 came in games 2 and 5. You aren’t winning shit scoring 5 runs in three and a half other games.

Yeah, just a little bit
The number of Meat pitches in this series and the Red Sox series is astromoronical… grand slams, 2 and 3-run bombs (Soler and Dansby) - fuck me.

That’s one of the things that will gnaw at me.
Similar to TB and many other contemporary teams.
This Atl team just wants mistakes they can blast.
And Astros have accommodated them with middle middle meatballs.

Taylor pitching one out.
Rosario – looks at breaking ball strike 0-1, FB up and out 1-1, looks at another breaking ball strike 1-2, taps breaking ball back to Taylor. 1-3.
two outs.
Games 1, 3, and 6 haven’t helped.

Gland Slams were more of a 90-00’s thing
