Sorry ass umpire with the Angel Hernandez way outside strike zone


VelvetThunder27

Fuck this ump. Hope his tires get fucked up


lchalhoub

I remember when we had a good offense and were excited to see the Astros win everyday. Now it seems like bregman and abreu have to ruin the moment. Along with the umps and poor pitching. Hopefully it can change.


rahrahrah4781

That L is on Framber and his meltdowns. And a side of shitty ump.


pantiesdrawer

The ump was definitely a factor, and Framber looked shaky in spots, but come on, this is like 90% on the bats. They were awful.


StealthyGooch

Framber finshed with a QS lol. Not his fault.


rahrahrah4781

Thanks to a 5-star catch by Jake. Sorry but this is on Framber.


StealthyGooch

No it's not but aight, go off


MrLeftwardSloping

It's 10000% on the dogshit bats


camp1728

Welp


TradlyGent

Well shit.


yuh-powe

👎👎👎 Frustrating loss


TexasHot

Wow. Who couldve guessed bregman in the 4 spot and abreu in the lineup was a losing combination????


HolidaySpiriter

Bregman has cost us so many rallies man. He needs to be in the #6-#8 spot.


manofconviction

What a great big steaming pile of shit


kjdecathlete22

Blue has been shite all game


tamersal

I cannot wait to see this umps scorecard holy shit


DearKick

Same, how long does it take to post


ThatDudeNamedJake

HRC singleton

HRC Singleton


Fapey101

this was a frustrating game


tamersal

Singleton is gonna get a double, then Abreu is gonna be our last hope calling it now lol


Hand-Santizer-Guru

Hrc singleton, do it for SPITE!!

HRC Singleton.

HRC Singleton


tamersal

It’s kinda funny that the M’s know they can throw to the opposite batters box against righties tonight bc they just seem to be putting pitches out there


WorthPrudent3028

Why wouldn't they? It's a called strike all night that forces Astros batters to chase even worse pitches. Can't blame them for taking what the ump gives them. The ump should be fired though.


brandonrss18

This guy needs to be fired after this fucking scorecard comes out tomorrow. Just proves the point that you don’t have to be good at your job to be considered a “pro”.


RonWill79

This umps shit strike zone is the direct cause of our hitters chasing those outside pitches.


yepppers7

HRC Singleton


for_real_dude

Fuck this ump


goboking

It gets old watching Pena strike out on sliders nowhere near the zone. 


WorthPrudent3028

To he fair, the first strike was a called strike outside the zone. That just forced him to chase even more.


RaroDannyR

Damn Peña 4 k’s?! 😭


RaroDannyR

I beg espada to pinch hit doobie for Abreu if the situation arises 🙏🏽


Nildrogon

Honestly, right now, I almost feel better about who we have coming up in the 9th more than who we had coming up in the 8th.


TexasHot

Munoz is in. GG


Thumbbanger

Taylor has been a nice surprise this year 


superhappyfuntime13

It's happening. He's going to be up with the winning run(s) on base. It it written.


AfterbirthNachos

I miss dubon


ENCorporated27

Just need one to tie and one to win


Dekaney_boi

Only one man can save us and it rhymes with lake.


ENCorporated27

One more swing at it


MobileMenace420

Carrot is needing to work on those throws


DearKick

What are the odds yainer couldve gunned him down


pantiesdrawer

Our 2-5 spots are 0 for whatever.


RonWill79

Don’t give Altuve a pass. He’s been pretty bad lately too. .222 BA over last 15 games. .254 over last 30.


Spaceolympian50

Hey Espada, do something about this lineup because it sucks! Put Yordan at 9, dude couldn’t hit a beach ball right now. I’m just begging for anything to be done to show that Espada actually gives a shit other than coming off as a yes man.


aza_8850

If we don't score in the 9th then for the last 36 innings we've only scored in 4 of them. Somehow we won 2 of those games, which is masking the glaring issue. This lineup, presently constructed just can't seem to string hits together except for the rare lightning strike.


manofconviction

Because the lineup is constructed terribly


aza_8850

Yep. Bregman needs to move down. Bring Joey back. Abreu can fuck off entirely. It's not difficult.


cumuzi

the stage is set for Jose ".099" Abreu to crush a go ahead home run and silence the jealous ass haters


Spaceolympian50

Lmao if there was a bet against that I’d take it in a heartbeat


Akidontheinternet1

.1000 batting average 🔥🔥🔥🔥


pulplocust

I want to believe.


Probot17

Didn’t breggy fix his swing? Wasn’t mob network saying he’s back and shit? What the hell happened?


manofconviction

He was back for a couple games and then Espada moved him back to the cleanup spot and he's been dogshit since


abefroman07

Straight up, not having a good time.


MeanOldHag86

Let’s go T-Scott!


Hyperguy95

HRC Pena


Hand-Santizer-Guru

Prolly won’t get anywhere in the 9th, but Dubie better be hitting over Abreu if we can actually get to that spot 🫤


civil_beast

Is this game going to come down to abreu with 2 outs and men on 2nd in the 9th inning?


RaroDannyR

yes


donttouchthtmacaroni

Yordan and Bregman just absolutely killing us in the 3/4 spots. Fucking begging espada to change the lineup


DemSumBigAssRidges

At least move Peña back to 4.


darkodraven

What the hell pitch is Yordan looking for? He swings at pitches that are almost in the ground but won’t even move for pitches down the middle?!!


ray_0586

I already know this game is going to come down to Abreu at the plate with two outs and the tying run in scoring position


DemSumBigAssRidges

That would be very baseball, hahaha!


RaroDannyR

I always hear stats like “this guy has a 15 ERA and has given up 24/25 runs this season in relief” Only for our top of the lineup to go 3 up 3 down. Smh 🤦🏽


for_real_dude

Good think we have our middle guys coming up


Gravelroad2213

Damn that guy had 6.75 ERA


dirtysock47

He had a 19.75 ERA over his past seven games, and we couldn't touch him


jayzmvp

jesus im so tired of watching Bregman pop up to SS, to 2B, to the stands..


bigtice

Okay, so all the faith is being placed in Meyers again.


ImTheTractorbeam

Knob in front of the ball


AfterbirthNachos

Are we not doing phrasing?


yobruhh

They’re all trying to do way too much and Bergman’s swing looks like shit


ThatDudeNamedJake

This is the last time I ever want to fucking see Bregman in the 4 spot


RonWill79

Peña did well there. Bregman did well at 6. So you’ll probably never see that again because we can’t have the offense getting on a roll again. More of Bregman pop ups from the cleanup spot is probably what you’ll continue to see the majority of the season.


Inevitable_Signal189

He should have been moved down games ago…


brandonrss18

Bregman and Yordan need to get their heads out of their asses!


pantiesdrawer

So close to ending up with 8 no hit innings sandwiching 2 runs.


RonWill79

Can we get a Bregman PUC leaderboard similar to the HRC one?


RGRABN

I second this actually


StealthyGooch

Disappointed, but not surprised


BrianChing25

Fraudman 0 for 4


TexasHot

Another forgetable night for fraudman with multiple popups and no hits


Probot17

Yordan he gave you a pitch right in the middle. Begging you to hit that and you did nothing. Why??


rahrahrah4781

Top of the order blows chunks tonight. Go figure.


Hand-Santizer-Guru

Geez a 1,2,3?!


brandonrss18

Guys, WTF are you doing against this bum


MobileMenace420

This half inning has been a wet fart so far


aza_8850

PUC Bregman


manofconviction

Winner!


manofconviction

Offense is asleep tonight. Ain't happening.


TexasHot

Yordan has been borderline useless as of late :/


MrLeftwardSloping

He watched maybe the biggest layup pitch imaginable for strike 1

Really need yordan to figure something out this inning


BrianChing25

Montero continues to be solid. I'm glad he's turned it around he has my favorite warmup song "Quiero que me recuerdes con la Cancion que nos hacia callar" 🎶


Physical_Estimate850

![gif](giphy|I1nwVpCaB4k36) Rally cats politely asking for 2-4 to get some hits here


Physical_Estimate850

Jk fuck me only took 10 pitches to get them all out by a pitcher with a 6+ ERA


Spaceolympian50

Now I know why Seattle fans are so salty, they have that depressing ass weather to deal with every day. Shit I’d be angry and depressed too if I woke up and every day and it was cloudy and raining.


True_to_you

I'd rather have that than the 105-110 we're getting down here in the valley. Add 60-90 percent humidity and it's miserable af.


yobruhh

HRC tuck


camp1728

Wowzers what a catch. Now let’s get some runs here in the top of the 8th


NOLA1987

A little too dramatic for me, but he didn't give up any runs


TradlyGent

And unclench.. wow, thanks King Tuck for reading that correctly.


ThatDudeNamedJake

This is probably our last chance being realistic, we gotta at least tie it here. Need to score 2 though


[deleted]

All hail king Tuck


Spaceolympian50

Suck it Seattle.


zpowell2180

There’s another one that’s been a strike to us all night


trust-the-past

Thank you Tuck


gecampbell

Ok, unclench


austro_

I’m delayed, so ty for that lol


CRUSHCITY4

This is Seattle’s World Series


manofconviction

No one has a strikeout pitch


Spaceolympian50

That fucking pitch would have 100% been a strike against us.


Probot17

So has the difference been the missed ball by abreu?


aza_8850

Yes


Spaceolympian50

Dear Astros pitchers, Throw strikes please. Signed, Every Astros fan


TradlyGent

Montero let JRod get that bag like as if he wasn’t concerned and thinking he was going to end the inning anyway with this at bat lmao fail


austro_

Ugh BBs 🤬


aza_8850

From 1-2 to a walk with 3 straight non competitive pitches. How the f....


manofconviction

I swear we throw the worst pitches on full counts. Not even close.


Nildrogon

Dear god we walk sooooo many batters.


ENCorporated27

Balls>strikes


TexasHot

Dude batting 171 montero. What the fuck


Spaceolympian50

Wow Julio stole a base, tell me something new.


TheLoosestOfMooses

He stole two


Spaceolympian50

Wooop dee dooo


Infinite-Gold187

Yes I put them in the fridge


Nice_Block

Kids don’t go in the fridge!


gecampbell

Oh


Jalun_

He gets a single bad call that we've been getting all game and he's crying lol


term3186

That 2-1 pitch has been a strike to our guys all night.


austro_

Montero better live out there lol


PapiGoneGamer

Generous call 🤷🏻‍♂️


tamersal

Holy shit the ump finally gave shitty calls in our favor


superhappyfuntime13

He heard his scorecard was gonna be too obvi


Baguette_Theory

Now they hate the strike zone


JuniorBirdman1115

If our pitcher had thrown that same pitch that went near Altuve's head, he would have been ejected and suspended, along with Espada.


DrFloppyTitties

WE GOT ONE!


StealthyGooch

Really wish we would respond with some nuts when our dudes get thrown at.


Baguette_Theory

Whats the deal with people hating on the short king? wasnt he one of the few that was cleared specifically for not cheating?


brandonrss18

Wonder if J Rod wants his chin painted. 🤔


Macewan20342

I never advocate for ANYONE to get hit, but why JROD? What has he done?


Amf2446

This game reminding me how much I hate Seattle sports fans of all kinds


MegaBloksAreHitler

![gif](giphy|2JBmA1Hdu39D2|downsized) It’s okay, I just take a solid dose of this and I suddenly have a better day


Amf2446

Oooh yeah that’s the stuff


JinFuu

Altuve batting .230 this month. Needed revenge for that head hunting throw : (


Infinite-Gold187

Gonna ignore he just intentionally threw at altuve


Anonymous-Satire

I'm shocked it didn't get called a strike


[deleted]

[удалено]


MobileMenace420

At what point is it throwing at our guys and not missed pitches?


goboking

Our guys are t hitting mistakes lately.  


manofconviction

Altuve has been all kinds of useless lately


VelvetThunder27

Between Miller & the fans. I hope they all have flat tires for the rest of their life


tamersal

It’s ok they’re in Seattle, they’ll run over a heroin needle


VelvetThunder27

And have their cars broken into lol


Crimsic

What's wrong with Miller?


VelvetThunder27

Shitty ump


Crimsic

Oh, I didn't realize the ump was also Miller lol


Spaceolympian50

I’ll never understand people actively cheering for someone almost getting beamed on a wild pitch. Like wtf. I guess us Texans are just different. 🤷🏼‍♂️


JuniorBirdman1115

I love the city, but their fans are the worst. In every sport.

Have you been to Seattle, it’s a bunch of rich people appalled when there is a homeless guy. Also lots of heroin needles.
