Good lord what a battle

[zztex]

As long as he doesn’t catch Framber. He ain’t ready for that yet.

And just why is that?

[MacDaddy67]

7 doubles for the Indians....crazy

[El General]

And just why is that?

1. Framber is a high strung dude and needs an experienced guy to cool him out.
2. Yainier has young/inexperienced catcher brain farts fairly often and that will put Framber on tilt.
3. Framber’s stuff is nasty and Yainier ain’t a great backstop yet. I think he is much improved, but he just isn’t ready for that yet.

Tough loss. I felt like they battled and never quit. So it was a step in the right direction. Just wish they could have pulled it out.

[Etxbuckman]

Well at this point I’m wondering if we’ll be without the frenetic stress brought on by the post-season. Injuries are just really piling up. It sounds like they should know more on LMCJ soon pending an MRI he was scheduled to have today, but I’m starting to think Brantley’s not the only one who’s done.

Dusty gonna Dusty. It’s hard to argue with numbers especially when you throw in the age factor

Squandered a four run lead after the 5th inning.

Had the chance to win the game seven different times.

A very rough four game losing streak we are witnessing. I wouldn't be surprised if Dusty gets thrown out today to try to light a spark under this team.

Got a win last night with 4 homers. Let’s keep it going

[zztex]

McCullers out for the season with surgery yesterday. Not TJ so hopefully he’ll be back sometime early next year. Who knows

[Twist]

I gotta be honest, I wasn’t really expecting much from LMJ after how his season basically never started. I really am more concerned about Yordan being reportedly down for a minimum of 4 weeks because they need that bat in the lineup. Badly.

’Stros better hope for a miracle comeback from Brantley (I don’t see that happening), or go find a solid LH bat. Another decent starting pitcher wouldn’t hurt either.

No surprise with Lance…. I would have traded him if possible… hasn’t done much last 3 seasons IMHO…..
rumor mill is they are making a bid for Cody Bellinger… short term rental I’m sure… he’s in a 1 year contract I’m told

[MacDaddy67]

And Yordan out another month….

Bellinger. Lofreikinl! Do you know the history between him and the Astros? That ain’t never gonna happen. “If you don’t know the facts, you better chut the eff up”! Lol
