    Walker was 0/3 when he came to bat (ended 0/4) ...what is so unbelievable about having your super walker bunt and move your runner over. You say he can't bunt...well he didn't hit either.That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    Don’t care. Ort needs to be sent down. Like right now.

    You're 100% right. And he's too nice a guy, I don't think it bothers him nearly enough when we lose.

    Well you should care, it cost us the game not going to the 11th inning.

    Ort can be sent to Siberia, still doesn't change the fact that Joe Espada is our manager. He'll just latch on to the next Ort.

    This is why I didn't jump on the Espada MOTY talk

    Okert? Maybe he should’ve pitched. My point is that Ort needs to go away now. Honestly, Okert probably ****s up too.

    Make a note....No more Ort....I'd rather have Chaz I think...if we get beat it's not because he choked and the moment was too big for him.

    Ort choked hard on that last pitch. Gave the game away. We don’t need that **** on this team.

    Abreu’s agent talks to Astros management before 4th of July about not ****ing him with multiple innings.

    Abreu is still pitching. Hader is not.

    We had 6 walks tonight....Hunter walked 3 through 5 innings and was great. On the other hand, Ort walked 3 in 2/3 of an inning. A sac fly and 3 walks. WALKS will kill you.

    No one better in the minors. Walking Jones was stupid. Actually the entire game strategically and execution wise was **** outside of Brown and Skubal. Neither team deserved to win but the Astros did deserve to lose.

    Espada sounds like a moron in the post game interview.

    He said we are a good offensive team.

    Then if I'm not mistaken, I think he said he likes pancakes.

    One day the Astros will score a run again and we'll all laugh at how trying these times were...

    Ort 38 2/3 innings pitched.
    23 Walks. One intentional.

    He has a good fastball but that last pitch selection was weak.

    But they’ll lose that game.

    Diiaz had the win for young brother Brown but MLB and Ort had other ideas.
    Watching baseball right now feels like a chore
