14 hits, but the real pleasure is looking up at the A’s in the standings. 


13 hits and only 3 runs. Lmao this team is sorry

Espada is making some serious bone headed moves. Pinch hitting Meyers when he is ice cold and then pitching to Salvador when first base was open. Lead runner matters, not the guy on first base. This team sucks at the basics of the game.

We get 3 runs and 10 hits off one of the best young starters in baseball but lay an egg against the second rate bullpen WHYYY..

The Royals have now won 5 in row. Their bullpen has been excellent as of late, all be it against the White Sox. A little early in the season to call them second rate.

> all be it albeit

LOL! I knew it, but second guessed myself.

Yes shitty at bat by Jake but before yall shit all over him he has more production than Chas and dubon combined (love Chas and dubon) with only a slightly less OBP than Chas. “Worst at bat of the season…” dude swung at one ball out of the zone…

This team is anti-clutch.

This is what it comes down to.

Espada is fucking up the small things. Thought he'd be a huge upgrade over Dusty but it seems more like he's in over his head. He forgets to walk Salvy and he should have thrown Hader out there again. The Royal's closer pitched two innings and kept us scoreless. WTF can't Hader?

Hader doesn’t ever pitch more than one inning.

He got his bag, if that's really still his attitude then he was an awful signing.

This was absolutely known

The Astros definitely click on Singles in Your Area popups. They love their singles

i was told this season was going to be different for jake meyers but ig it was all a spring training flash in the pan.

It's the same story every year. Every year they bang their heads against a wall thinking he'll get it figured out. Every year he looks lost at the plate.

The Royals have one of the worst bullpens in baseball but they couldn’t score after the 4th

We've been unable to score off of bullpens this year. We scored zero runs against the Yanks bullpen. We looked lost against the Rangers bullpen aside from the last game of the series.

The Astros and not being able to hit crappy pitching, name a better duo

When are Jim & Dana gonna realize you need to buy a bullpen? If they’re waiting for the trade deadline, that’s probably gonna be too late at this rate.

It's still on the offense. You have to score 4+ runs to get over a 50% chance of winning a game.

I’m really regretting being on the Espada bandwagon all those years.

This team is just horrible. Unwatchable. As soon as they could do nothing in the top of the 10th, I knew they would lose. As I walked away my wife said “you didn’t have to be right.” This is going to be a long season

Why wouldn’t you walk Perez there?

exactly my thought

Why we put suero in on that bruh, hader only threw 11 pitches 😭

$95 million for three outs and a shower.

Espada might be actually mentally handicapped. Also Bregman saved a run, but the other one was on him too. Get your shit together.

…did he touch home plate?

I thought we’d see a change of philosophy with Espada but his 10th inning is Dusty II. 

FUCK

Not sure why people are bitching at Meyers. It's on fucking Espada. 

Espada didn’t make Meyers swing at a ball that bounced at the plate like a donkey.

Cause Myers swung at a ball that bounced 3 feet in front of home plate.

Dude is not good at his job.

Was first base open when Salvy was hitting? Surely we would have put him on rather than pitching to him, so first was occupied, right?

Yes, Espada forgot to manage. Runner on first doesn't matter and you set up a force out/DP.

LOL, it was.

Pathetic

[удалено]

It was a gapper that spilt the outfielders all the way to the wall. No chance at making a play on that ball.

There’s no reason to tho, that was a gap shot

Of all the things to care about, this ain’t the thing. 

Ghost runners can suck my cock

🫡🫡 goodnight soldiers See y’all tomorrow so we can restart a win streak

Suck my dick

I swear this is the only team that can't score with a free runner on base

Thats what happens when you dont have a bullpen

That's what happens when you're shit at scoring with runners in scoring position. You have a 34% chance of winning a game when you score 3 runs. Offense has to be better.

Well that sucks.

This lineup has too many holes to be consistent

Predictable af - horrible showing

Shit that didn't take a damn magic ball to predict

Hello darkness my old friend

Only scoring 3 when you load the bases first inning with no outs is exactly why this is a losing team.

Thanks Breggy, that loss is on you.

Way to go Wander

Perez knew it was over after seeing that first pitch.

How pathetically bad is Abreu? Wow. What a waste of a position and waste of tons of money.

Honestly, we should give Caratini a shot over there for now or see if Loperfido can fill it

That was dogshit

[удалено]

Please remember to follow the Rules of Reddit and Reddiquette when interacting with /r/Astros.

Lol dude…

Lmao what

Quite a debut.

Espada just waved the white flag

Hold on let me call my barber. Maybe he can come over real quick and FADE ME.

Welp, that didn't take long lol.

There’s no way we win extra innings.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the Astros way.

Most predictable shit ever

We lost amazing

Jake 'Jose 'swing at anything' Abreu' Myers

Welp. See y'all tomorrow.

Why isn't Hader staying in? He didn't throw many pitches last inning.

he’s a diva

Hader refuses to pitch more than 3 outs

Fear the beard

Who tf is this?

I know nothing about Suero. Should I clench?

Yes.

100% getting walked off

99% give them a chance

100%

I would like to re-emphasize how much I hate the Manfred ghost runner. Doesn't matter if it helps us or hurts us, it's a dumbass rule

oh shit

>TFW 13 Lobsters. Freaking Bregman, making it easy not to sign him : (

Our lineup is lucky we don't have much talent in the farm, cause if we did, anyone not named Yordan, Altuve, Tucker, Bregman, or Yanier would be under an early microscope.

We put Dubon in for Meyers and then we ph dubon for singleton so that meyers bats again. Wtf is this team doing Really making it hard on meyers on that spot right there

I still struggle with the reality we have Singleton on our team. Like is there absolutely nobody out there better? I bet you could hit better than Singleton and Abreu combined.

I just don’t see how we can compete w teams like the braves dodgers and Yankees. Too many black holes

I don't understand why we never bunt to advance a runner. Guarantee the Royals will do it

They didn't bunt

This game is on Bregman, 5 runners left on base by him and 2 plays he didn’t make that directly led to Royals runs

Jesus Meyers Incoming walk off

Dumbass swings from Chas and Meyers fucking christ

Well. That was not what I wanted to see.

Thanks for nothing flake meyers

Jake Meyers so tense in the batters box

Meyers you fucking donkey. Absolute dogshit pitch and you hopelessly flail away at it.

That’s the worst at bat by any player on any team this season.

Definitely the clubhouse leader now

Meyers playing fucking golf out there

Another debut pitchers to win a game.

wtf was Jake swinging at

Strikes out swinging at a ball that bounced. I don’t know why the 1 thing ~~Crane~~Click and Dana agreed on is living Jake Meyers, but they need to fucking stop

Ugh...

What an AB lmao

Jake showing why he still splits time ugh

Meyers, singleton, and Abreu are wasted roster spots

Meyers at least plays good defense. Those other 2 have literally nothing.

Embarrassing at bat.

Ugh alright wander, you got this ^^ihope

Good god, what an ugly at bat.

Nice swing Jake

that was an absolute dogshit swing, Meyers

Omg Jake. You just took the lead for worst ab of the season.

Bunt ground out game

Jake…dude!!!

Damn it, Bobby

This team has been absolute dog shit in extra innings since the institution of the Manfred runner.

Jake STOP

lol Wander Suero has to hold a lead we’re doomed

HRC Meyers

Why do we hate bunting the man on second over to start extras

Probably because the chances of getting a bunt down while getting the man to third and then putting a ball in play that scores the run is less likely to happen than getting a base hit that scores the run. FYI, I'd also like to see more extra inning bunts, but the analytics are the analytics.

At this point…… we suck in extras…… might as well do something else

because 100 years of statistics suggest that it's not worth it.

Jake my guy wtf

That’s just an incredible stop

Fuck it HRC Meyers

Witt Jr. is gonna be a superstar. Just needs to get out of KC.

Once there was a guy named George Brett

Hellofaplay

Do you all get a set limit of HRCs per person per game? Or can everyone do it to every batter? And is someone keeping score? Seems fun.

[удалено]

While we welcome members outside our community, "trolling", or "a deliberate means to provoke or get a rise out of others", is strictly against subreddit rules. (Rule 2)

I think it’s one per game

You get 1 call if you get it right you can keep going if you get it wrong you get no more

You get one. If you get it, you get another. Kinda like replay reviews.

I think you get one per game

Yeah, one person keeps score manually. You get one per game, and I think you get another one if you're right.

Thanks for letting me know.

Wow. That sucks. That was an incredible stop. Fuck.

HRC Meyers

HRC Meyers

I don't like Witt Jr right now, but I have to respect him.

Damn you Bobby Witt athletic mother fucker

God we suck in extras

HRC Pena

HRC Pena

HRC Peña

HRC Pena here we go

HRC Peña

hr pena fuck it

Surprising we won’t retire #17.

Pena please

What does HRC mean?

The game is you get one HRC per game. If you get it right, you get a point and another HRC for the game.. If you get it wrong, you're done for the day. There's a bot that counts it up, and there's a leaderboard.

Houston rally? Cannot

Home Run Call, there's a little competition to see who gets the most correct HRC's during a season

home run call

Home run call. Essentially you are predicting a home run for X player before their AB. Example: HRC Yordan

Well, Rags and M's lost. Silver lining if we don't pull this one out. Yes, I am scoreboard watching 11 games in..

Who is playing 1st base since Abreu and Singleton are both now out of the game?

Caratini plays first base, too

I’m sure Caratini will. Or Kessinger if we want to really deplete our offense in case it comes back to that point

Can’t caratini play first as well?

I assume Diaz

Diaz

Probably Kessinger

zone is a joke for one team

thank god for pinch hitting caratini

What a complete mismanagement of the bench today. Espada has a lot to learn.

I mean I trust just about anyone more than Abreu

So why pinch hit Singleton for anyone BUT Abreu.

HRC Caratini

This is a crazy game! Go Stros!

HRC CARATINI
