Garcia in right, guess Tony didn't learn

For those who have been to games in the past couple months how has getting into the game been? When I went in July against the Astros the lines outside the game were insane.

We had the Central locked up for awhile, LaRussa should have given Kimbrel a 2 week trial in the closers role after his struggles as a set up man and see how it went, then we would have least known

We only have 3 starters for next year and possibly a 4th with Kopech but his innings will be limited, we need to bring in at least 2 starters IMO

If the Red Sox get swept I believe we play at night (I thought I read)

While walking with the kids this evening I thought to myself; well isn't this what I kind of expected after how we have been playing for about 2 months? Literally nothing has changed just because it is the playoffs now. LaRussa is still making weird decisions, the starting pitching isn't being efficient, the bullpen is blowing games, and the offense is still awful with RISP. Instead of trying to figure out the best position for our players to be in and trying to get home field La Russa was too busy trying to rest people as much as possible. Why did we not try Kimbrel in the closer role for a couple of weeks and see if anything changed? Why did we not try to shift more and see if it helped us? Or putting our bullpen guys in the best position every game to see how they should be used in the playoffs? We settled and this coaching staff let them settle.

Please for the love of god don't make me drive 5 hours, spend hundreds of dollars only to get swept. If we can at least pull this game out that gives some hope

For fucks sake Tony take some ownership and quit lying to people who aren't blind

God help me if we lose on Sunday, don't want to watch us get swept

Only reason Tony brought it Crochet was because a lefty was coming up who hits lefties pretty much the same as righties. And he had already pitched 20+ innings the day before and faced the same guy. Everyone thought Kopech would be coming in and of course we hear Crochet is up.

Almost had a hit last time too.

It just makes no sense. Hernandez and Engel aren't that different hitting wise, Engel hit the ball hard his last at bat as well.

Astros are clearly the superior team

7 runs after being up 4-2. I can't believe how shitty our bullpen and manager have been

Kimbrel sucks, Garcia sucks, La Russa sucks

Wonder who catches that ball.

With the Astros top of the lineup I didn't expect it to be Bummer.

We didn't even shift there against a lefty who I am sure pulls the ball more, if Anderson is up the middle that is a DP

Exactly where Tim should have been. Bunch of idiots

Who decides where our fielders are, they should be fired.

Don't like this......

Engel, can't afford to have Hamilton batting later or Sheets in the OF

Almost lol, just as good

Wow, great play. Thank you Tepera

Too many fastballs, jesus
