Oh jeez a balk.

And not just any balk, a comical one.

This is one that really hurts.  Can't believe the amount of times they blew this in 1 game.  A true gut punch.

This is mostly on Hyde for yanking his starter after 58 pitches and making his closer who was JUST sidelined a week ago for arm fatigue throw over 30 pitches and get a 5 out save.

If he had managed the 'pen better from the get go, he never would have put himself in that situation.

I completely agree.

Game isn't over yet, but this is reminiscent of some famous meltdowns against the Red Sox and Yankees.

I'm not convinced we need to have a meltdown over dropping a game to the Astros. We've won more against them than we have any right to already.

[LA2]

Really needed Perez in the 8th. Why not Akin earlier?

[O's84]

Definite candidate for worst loss of the season (barring an unlikely  comeback).

At least it only counts as 1 even though it felt like 3.

Akin or Hall would be a better choice. 

Reed did fine. The single was a jam shot that found a hole against the shift.

You need to win some of these to balance out losing to teams like the Tigers, As and Cubbies.

[eddie83]

One back. 

[O's84]

Odor hits one out.  Too bad it was a 2 run deficit.  Still small ray of light though.

[Moose Milligan]

Odor are you kidding

[PHRESH]

Of course Odor hits one out. What a game 

[Brian88]

Ok Jorge, swing the bat if it’s right down the middle this time
