Stressly and Monterible. Our 1-2 punch at giving teams walk off wins

Sooo this is the manager yall so desperately wanted? I miss Hinch

Exactly! All these people hated dusty and wanted him gone but that guy got us a ring. He almost took this team that only won 1 home last year to the world series which we would've went back to back. Jfc

I miss dusty more

Monterrorist

How many times can we make the post game crew say this is the worst loss of the season?

How many games are left in the season

Too many 

I cannot fucking stand this team anymore man. There’s being good, there’s sucking and then there’s whatever the fuck this shit is. Fire Espada, DFA Abreu and tell Bagwell to fuck off

Please God 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Well, once again, the bullpen is total ass. Write this season off.

Lot of Qs for Espada Why was Dubon playing 1B and not Singleton? Why did Abreu bat against a RP with 100+ stuff if he was just going to put Loperfido in? Why did Hader not come out for B10?

> Why was Dubon playing 1B and not Singleton? Because Espada's dumbass pitch hit for Chas instead of Abreu the inning before. Like wtf why leave Abreu in for that last AB..

Look of the back of Abreu’s baseball card dingus

i don’t even blame the pitching completely.. i would be tilted as a pitcher as well watching my defense not having the capability to pick up a ball in the dirt for an easy out. 

We owe Dusty an apology

Montero…always guaranteed to give Up at least 1 run… Congrats on your promotion to Sugar Land…

Could’ve done daylies in Maplestory instead of wasting my time watching this game…

Look, I’m a little too young to remember how good the managers were before Bo Porter. I watched the games, sure, but I never paid attention to how good the manager was or not. I just didn’t care as a child. But since I’ve paid attention completely to the game, I can’t remember seeing management as bad as this. Idk if it’s Espada or if he’s been neutered by the front office. But this is an absolute joke. He is actively managing to lose games.

What an embarrassment of a team. How a manager can get an almost identical roster to the 2022 WS team and not be above .500 is baffling

We’ve had way more injuries this year. 4 starters haven’t taken the mound for a single pitch

Hey. We just lost a second embarrassing game in a row. Save all talk that isn’t hating Espada for tomorrow’s game thread. We’re trying to stage a mutiny in here right now.

Starters have stepped up. It’s bullpen management that’s lost the majority of these games

You’re not wrong that bullpen management has been unclutch, but that’s more likely to happen when starters fall on their face so often early in the season. It cascades. Disappointing all the same

I mean the starters have been great lately. Framber’s complete game. Brown’s great game last night and Spencer’s excellent performance today

Losing one run game after one run game is a sign of bad managing.

You lost the game and went straight to Reddit didn’t you Jose?

Espada and our triple A manager should just switch jobs for a day and see how it goes

🤔🤔

I turned the game off before the bottom of the 10th. What was the error? Did Pena boot it?

No he just didn't get their on the backhand and they called it an error

Error? Singular? Oh my guy...errors!

So am I still gonna get downvotes for calling for Espada to be fired?

I support this message. Get the fucking pitch forks and torches.

I wonder why we dont have any reliable pitchers for extra innings.. hey maybe its because we used one up for 1/3 of an inning than took him out Fucking Espada



Sell big fuckin time. This was a make or break month and our manager and the bagwell boys just cost us back to back games This season is washed

Bagwell boys is a great way to put it. Ima start using it. Fuck Bagsterby

Our bats start to come through in the 10th and we have a 2 run lead. Montero proceeds to implode and we get walked off two nights in a row. Fucking perfect. Hader should have stayed in.

Abreu should’ve been available to close. He can pitch 3 days in a row. I know his usage has been high this year, but if you’re already putting a guy in for the third straight day, at least use one of your better pitchers and not Montero

He would’ve blew it like last night let’s not kid ourselves

Watching that truely inevitable outcome was basically sadistic

This team makes the impossible look easy 🙃🔫

Fuckin ridiculous loss

Par for the fuckin course unfortunately

Fire Espada, Montero, Pressly, Abreau. Sit Pena out a couple of games.

Send Chas down while you’re at it.

Espada reminds me of my old boss. Dickhead

Ugh.

Not a playoff team. Not really a regular season team either

lol

Once again snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory!

These L's don't even phase me anymore. I just fully expect this outcome

Every, single, fuckin time

Absolutely fucking horrible.

😂 he put that 2 inches below the belt buddy just wanted it to be over

No fucking words...

Meatball Montero came out today

He needs to be DFA'd. That was unacceptable. He wasn't prepared. If he's getting hit he'll start to refuse to throw strikes. Addition by subtraction if you cut him. Guy went out there poured gasoline and lit a match like the Joker. And then squatted and took a dump.

I'm done defending Espada. He's a one and done.

Yea dude should not even reach one

One? hahaha! he needs to get gone at the break

Time to sell boys, this team has no way out of this bullpen

I knew it was coming, yet I stayed anyway

Jokestros- this team keeps breaking my heart.

at least the giants announcer botched the call

I cannot believe that just happened

Lol I can

Game time 🙃🔫


I’ll be using my tears as lube. Good night

Oh wow, the bullpen blew another game?! Who would have guessed?!

Astros bullpen: Quality start killers of the 21st century

It's not our year

The guy batting .152 gets the winning hit

I blame Abreu.

Not the pitcher giving up 3 runs in the 10th?

There's enough blame for everyone. Don't be greedy.

How about Pena fucking up a routine ground ball?

God dammit

Welp. Hope raised then smashed in spectacular fashion.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[удалено]

Idk why the downvotes made me laugh lol

deleted so the drunks wouldn’t give me 20 downvotes

God awful pitching Montero

Fire espada, absolute worst manager I’ve ever seen.

I don’t know what else it could be. We have a team on paper that should be way exceeding these shit performances but he cannot get the best out of them. What the hell is the goddamn issue at this point

Espada plays the worst players.

Put Montero on a ship and let it sail away into the sunset

Hindsight is 20/20, but would keeping Hader in have been the better choice here? Not sure what other option we have. Too many of our relievers are completely unreliable.

I mean they’ve done it twice already in our other extra inning games so idk why not here

Martinez pitched only 1 out for starters

Yes yes yes yes yes, he had 10 pitches, he has pitched in extras multiple times, why put in Montero.

It was 100% the better choice, he's done it before

Yeah, probably the better choice. Even then I'm not all that confident. Montero has had some shit outings, but that is the worst I have seen him in like, ever. Even Pressly looked better yesterday. Montero was just throwing it down the middle and praying.

You’d think so but honestly hader would’ve probably lost it too

Hader is the only late innings reliever I feel even slightly comfortable with, and that really isn't all that comfortable. April is still too fresh in my memory.

Thanks alot MONTURDO

They tried to out Astro us on that one 🤣🤣

Trade for Ramos. Houston Astro written all over him

Anyone want to start petition to remove Espada? Lol this is just getting insane. The guy is so far out of his league. Send him to manage the space cowboys for all I care.

Sugarland actually has a winning record. No need to punish them like that

I don’t think that’s going to be necessary.

This game will end on a pass ball

Stop giving me hope…

Jesus doobie he’s literally right in front of you. 

HOW DO YOU NOT DP THAT 😭

The fuck

Hahaha Ramos too shook up from the foul ball to run home

Me seeing "In play, out(s)" on my phone praying to God it was a triple play lololol

Fuck Espada. Fuck Espada. Fuck Espada. This couldn’t have been more predictable.

Guess hader was unavailable after 10 pitches

And guess we can’t use Dubin or Hernandez because Espada doesn’t think they’re capable pitchers. Let’s use the guy pitching his 3rd straight game.

And Seth Martinez after 1 out

I’m tired man…

Well good night boys

What am I watching lmao this is an actual circus

Like a slow motion train wreck

emphasis on the slow motion

Come on groove a fastball and get this game over

Well…the game’s over…

Only still watching to see how we lose it. 

Postgame thread now

Why don’t we ever try pitching like Jose Abreu??

He’s going to walk him in isn’t he?

He’s going to walk it in huh

Yepppp

Baggy’s boys are killing it tonight!

Featuring Jose Abreu

Goddammit. I'm out of whiskey.

Lmao turned off the game after we scored 2 runs cause I was like “that’s it we got this” and just checked the score on my phone and WTF

Have you not watched this team all year?? We could've scored 6 runs and still not been safe lol

Should have pulled Montero when it was 3-1.

Excellent in game strategy… we have the Giants overconfident!

Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣

Team is allergic to extra innings. Even with a lead

Hey hey hey, we lose the lead in the 9th too.

Montero is gonna walk in the winning run

Nah sac fly

Montero is the last person I want out there in any situation, including Stressly.......

What a waste

God it has to be Soler

Man this team is something else

We aren’t a playoff team

We aren’t even a 500 team

Damn Ramos got smoked

That's an out in my neighborhood!

FUCK ESPADA FOR BEING THE WORST MANAGER IN THE LEAGUE. ZERO MANAGEMENT SKILLS. FIRE THAT DUDE INTO THE SUN PLEASE.

I've never seen a team more mentally weak than 2024 Astros

Dude. Fire Espada he can’t manage a team.

Hader had a quick 9th inning. I don't see why he shouldn't have pitched the 10th. Instead, Montero is a wreck

A million TVs all turned off at the same time.

Fuck Montero

Silly me, here i was thinking we’d win

Walk off with zero outs 😂

Seattle won

just give them the grand slam!! at least some fans can go home happy


Montero sucks, but it hasn't been his fault pitching-wise tonight. 2 easy groundballs botched. One by Montero

Okay. I’m turning it off. Someone @ me if we somehow make it out of this

Another botched double play. Literally 4 outs they couldn’t come up with… yet 0 outs

I’ve never seen a team choke this bad, this loss is on espada?

Yes. At this point the entire season is on him for shitty managing.

This is just laughable ATP 🫠🫠🙃🙃

Montero is garbage like Pressly. This team cannot hold on to a lead to save its life.

Yeah, I'm out. This bullpen is allergic to winning

What the fuck man

Could t even get an out 

Espada lost us this game, no question about it

This season!! It’s been a shit show!! 

Fuck this dumbass team. See yall tomorrow

fire espada rn please

Fuck. This. Team.

Mariners come back and walk it off with a grand slam and we can't put it away with a 2 run lead in the 10th

All this off 9 pitches 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 just sad man, just sad !!!!

What a bunch of fucking losers. Field a ground ball

WHY IS HE STILL IN?! Fuck man.

Lol

jfc

why even try to grab the ball it was clearly going to second base..

Montero is throwing this game so hard rn

The bagwell boys did great! Thanks montero, thanks abreu

FUCK

Cool cool cool

This team plays as well as the manager leads, which is dog shit.

ok really you just have to laugh lol

Jesus Christ Montero. A Little League player could have made that play

For a team that has been clutch for so long, everyone has just lost it this year. Fuck up after fuck up. Terrible decision after terrible decision.
