    The struggle continues.

    Yankees tied too in extras, so there's that.

    This is sad. The Astros are in a deep funk.

    The guys can start hitting anytime. It's OK: the guys are only getting stoned by pitchers with 5.2 and 7.0 ERAs. Perfectly natural and expected.

    Do you bring out Cole for the 9th with over 100 pitches?

    Maldonado has not been doing a great job throwing out runners contrary to what the broadcast is saying. Most of his throws have ended up in CF.

    Yes. He is still dominating. That run was unearned and came off a broken bat.

    I have to say.... for someone with such high ability defensively and with such strong tools behind the plate.... Maldonado screws up a lot. I don’t know if it is focus or what but he shouldn’t make as many mistakes as he does.

    No. The focus is on the playoffs.

    Oh, he's kicking ass; I was just wondering, with managers being so gunshy about pitch counts this day and age.

    Look at the 6, 7, 8 and 9 in the lineup .... pretty much garbage

    Given the passed ball express in the BoSox series last year, I was surprised they brought him back.

    Hitting a lot of HRs lately though.

    Is it still possible to get a hit with RISP? It's been awhile.

    And we have the advantage of the calls at the plate which almost never happens and still can’t muster more than a run.

    I wasn't surprised...I mean you want Chirinos Maldonado or Chirinos and Stassi? Pretty easy answer
