    Astros lose by 1.

    Perhaps Toronto scores more in the bottom 9th, but the -2 was huge.

    Arrighetti was the biggest factor in tonight's loss though.

    Just go 5-2 vs Toronto-MINN and all is well.

    Espada just did the equivalent of shooting a 3 for the win on the road…

    I personally would nkt of pinch hit for Salazar. And no bunking in that situation is ludicrous.

    Loperfido needs to be back in AAA working on making contact at a much higher clip. The amount he is K’ing while showing no power is not going to cut it.

    Classic overmanaging. Cesar was in the game's rhythm.

    Let's go Orioles.

    If they win, then today wasn't a bad day at all.

    Everybody putting up their record post Abreu… but the offense (and record) post-Tucker has been equally if not more impressive.

    which is important since Tucker will be out a few more weeks. He’s growing a new leg at this rate.

    One run game record is still atrocious.

    Good points. Salazar has had some big hits since coming up and it's well documented that Fido has a lot of swing and miss so SO in that situation wasn't surprising by him.

    i'll be critical here. Fido looked outmatched the whole game and has hit a rookie wall. Dubon should have pinch hit for Fido. If he fails, let Salazar hit since he's already drove in a run.

    Idk why the pinch hit of Cabbage for Salazar. Oh well, onto the next.

    Now to me that's the answer. Dude has been as clutch as anyone on this team this season.

    Hopefully Joe wasn't confining himself to a lefty righty matchup. If so, that's shortsighted of him.

    Ok rookie wall is absolutely insane. It's not early September.

    Cabbage was an awful choice and I thought that immediately so this isn't hindsight. He's not a contact hitter.

    No hitter or Not to No Hitter. Not really a question.

    The answer is also… don’t get down 7-0.

    But it’s clear this team has resilience.

    Loperfido's OPS is getting lower and lower
