    Feels like Boston all over again where everything went their way.

    This is an absolute fail of a game. Verlander shouldn't have been pitching and now we have to ****ing burn Cole up for a game that shouldn't have happened. If we advance we will have neither Verlander or Cole available against the Yankees. NYY took care of their business and now they get everyone fully rested. We're going to get slaughtered.

    We have to burn our pitchers because our offense decided to play like its late august again.

    We will get there. We are a much different team at home

    There's plenty of game left...but it's looking like we'll have a Game 5. I don't have confidence in our hitters to come back tonight. Not against this very good TB bullpen.

    I don't have a problem with the decision to start Verlander tonight on short rest. Just didn't work out. However, I do want this to be the LAST time we start JV on short rest.

    If we lose this series (very doubtful), then the #1 blame should be on the bats. They should be having more success...even against a good pitching staff like the Rays.

    Springer's half-assed running to first is THE SINGLE most disappointing play tonight.



    Besides the 2-run homer, solo HR, and Altuve being thrown out ;)

    Yeah I think we've pretty much sunk the forecasting right into the goatass.

    Yeah. That bugs me more than anything me in any sport. If you play hard and get beat by a better team, well, you tried to win at least. When you don't even fight, though... Or only one teammate is fighting... Ugh.

    And I was literally just watching this video today of Horry talking about Hakeem asking him if he actually wanted to win because Dream could never see it in his emotions.

    He got through them. It was that hard hit GR double down the 1st base side when I thought he shouldve been pulled. To trot him out there for the 4th was stupid. Especially when you had James warm up since the 1st.

    A lot like the Boston series. This lineup is suppose to be better than last year so this is very disappointing.

    Astros need to remember their lineup is awesome. We can score 4 runs in an inning.

    time we show the Rays what we are about!

    Ok big inning boys. Let’s get it. We were dead in the water against LA in Game 5 too. I still believe they can get it done tonight.

    Not to be Mr. Optimistic but Tampa Bay could be up much more at this point. Let's go offense.
