Bummed I can’t watch the #Sixers due to this ridiculous local cable blackout

Bye! I like Caratini but not at a market value contract

I really didn’t like the decision to sacrifice bunt Guerrero to 3rd. And it’s still bothering me. When you’re 3 outs from losing the Series, I don’t think you can give an out away.

That’s why you don’t bunt ever.

Maybe this is the impetus to get rid of umps, boost the tech to work better and use video to rule in real time.

#Sixers may be abysmal on defense but we still got Edgecombe

If the #Sixers don’t cover 3 shooters this game will be over by the half.

Embiid was on a minutes limit

There should be a statute of limitations on being a dick towards something half the teams in the league were doing.

To all those whiny Mariners fans talking ridiculous smack about the #Astros, whoop de doo, you won 6 postseason games.

Man it’s nice to see Springer do that #memories #astros

Yeah, knew something was fishy about that person being shot after crashing into an ICE vehicle. Seems what really happened is they didn’t want anyone following them.

Pretty sad when an agency has been given overreaching powers by Trump but acts like Ned and Jimbo from South Park.

They already turned him down, didn’t you see that clip of Andy Cowell looking triumphant? Also Newey wouldn’t want to.

Idiots. Hinch didn’t cheat, he was pissed off when he found out about it. He’s guilty of one thing, not ratting out on his team. And in baseball clubhouses that’s more a positive than a negative. Goes for Altuve too, there’s data showing he didn’t use the trashcan system. Be mad at the right people.

He was but you don’t lay that at the feet of the GM cause the guy is a jerk.

And he was targeted and scapegoated by the media for removing traditional scouts from the team, who are often sources for the media.

You gonna buy that nonsense? He used legal non-live video scouting including video scouting of signs which is still legal.
The players took itto a different level signalling live video led by Beltran, re-read the report.

Meh, Jeff would never come back after how Crane jobbed him and the national media scapegoated him. And the systems he built up to give us avantages were all wiped out by Bagwell. Need another Click type as president of baseball ops to rework everything.

Can’t complain about the #Astros not getting help, they messed this up all by themselves.

Yeah I also think Bagwell wiping out whole departments deprived our hitters of tools to see where things are going wrong and change approach.

Good point but I fear Crane is gonna saddle us with Brad Ausmus. I’ve been vocal with how I don’t agree with things Espada does. There’s a lot of room for growth. An experienced former manger at bench coach and replacing hitting coaches would be my choice than go full Crane and 100 losses.

Someone should write an article about how poorly the front office did this offseason to the deadline before too much of this lands on Espada, and that’s without talking about the cooked medical staff

And had 2 starters who didn’t pitch well in AAA and the best one is someone we pulled off the scrap heap from the A’s. Focus firmly needs to be on the front office for this debacle.

Totally, so ya wanna blame Espada fine but damn that deck was stacked against him.

Bregman .273, 64 RBIs, 821 ops
Tucker .279, 73 RBIs, 852 ops

And yet another bad back of the baseball card signing in Walker.

Let’s not forget this offseason when we dumped our two best hitters because ownership won’t pay for good players and didn’t add due to luxury tax when we knew we’d be down two starters. This was a choice #Astros

Yeah and when they didn’t, they hit like an AAA lineup.

There can be no mistaking anymore how the #Astros are a poor team.
Hoping Crane doesn’t just change manager and nothing else.

Hitting approach has been horrible all year, could have changed hitting coaches a month ago. But I wonder how much of this is Crane and Bagwell trashing analytical tools and hitters not adapting from video, like under Luhnow and Click.
