The Free Kevin Brown episode. World Champ Houston Astros in town

[MDK02]

They are a better team, plain and simple. Their top 6 batters give professional big time at bats.

[Dunk35]

A team that has been there and done that. And a team that hasn't been anywhere. Was the difference tonight.

You might want to rethink that screen name...pretty sure we get last at bats

I'm sorry I am emotionally dissapointed, I hope you can understand.

[Tony-OH]

Bullpen has been pretty damn good this year but tonight is one of those nights where they choked. It happens. 

 

[MDK02]

What an absolute gut punch loss. Hopefully we can get one in this series.

Hyde's ejection didn't help.

He can still call the shots if he wants. 

[clapdiddy]

The leadoff walks in the 8th and 9th came back to bite them.

[Tony-OH]

And of course MASN doesn't show the replay of O'hearns check swing. He swang.

[Ripken]

Completely threw one away tonight because of dumb decisions.

if you throw nothing but heat down the middle this is what happens...especially if youre wild with the splitter..

Major-leaguers will time it. Bautista had to throw something else even if he walks him. It's a 3-run lead, live to fight another day. I think this was a bad job of pitch selection by McCann and him.

On the other hand, it's easy to forget that Bautista is still young.

Think I read it was first run Bautista gave up since June 24.

[Tony-OH]

That was the make up call for not calling the check swing.

[justD]

What a good AB by O'Hearn, regardless of the outcome. 

[allquixotic]

Suitable way to end the game, with a ball clearly off the plate called a strike. What a stupid game.
