That was a ball. Whatever, to hell with this game and series. We nearly doubled their hits and still lost
A very fitting end to the game. A Fisher strikeout after letting two meatballs go by him. **** you Fisher.
Winnable game loss by Hinch putting in Smith at a dumb time. Peacock is a long man. He hadn't been pitching much lately and pitched well tonight. You put a sorry gimmicky pitcher in there to pitch to the top of their order after an important momentum inning? Oh well, win tomorrow and the team will still send Angels out of town in second place.
His swing is way too loopy and slow to hit MLB pitching with any sort of regularity. This team watches entirely too many hittable pitches.
Still too close to take when there's 2 strikes. Would rather he stay aggressive at the plate. He seemed like he was trying to draw a walk the entire AB.
Good to see the Astros get back in this game. We've been critical of the bottom of the order but they produced the offense tonight.
Fisher had 3 productive ABs tonight so it seemed like asking for too much to expect him to come through in the last AB tbh. Altuve came up small tonight which didn't help. Still a very winnable game.
I feel like this team gets into WAY too many 2-strike counts. As a matter of fact, 54% of their at bats have had two strikes. Hard to be successful consistently when you are in a hole most of the time like that.
I’m all for Fisher going down to AAA to learn how to make contact more consistently. Way too many strikeouts when all you need to do is put the ball in play to score a run.
It's a good thing we're only into April. These Angels was the same team that got whooped by the Red Sox by like 25-2 or some **** in their last series. And we down 0-2, lol.
We lost 2 games by 3 combined runs. Both games we had more baserunners. It's just part of the random variance of the sport, and why it's hard as f**k to win in the baseball postseason when a sport made of large samples is reduced to a small sample.
