    Frustrating game, Astros not capitalizing and A's tie the game with 2 hits

    yup, he lollygagged mid run... probably thought he wasn't going to be sent.

    btw can we please find some reliable arms in the pen? please?? i was really hoping james could be someone but he comes in and immediately gives up a homer and a hard hit single.

    When 2 men are on base, James has seemed to figure out how to pitch lately

    Well, so much for James being the next man up for us out of the BP

    I am an english major. You shouldn’t be too proud. It just cracks me up how you want to argue about ANYTHING all the time, even playing grammar police on a baseball message board. Is it lonely where you are?

    The major bummer of this season has been the lack of development of most of our young pitchers.

    I knew when we got throttled last night that we were probably gonna lose the series.

    Open up with a15-0 win and then do our very best to dilute that by losing the series.

    Disappointing if we lose.

    I in no way argued about anything with the fun little "Sprung" v "Sprang" with @mick fry that somehow set you off.

    Given your posting history, I do believe you are projecting.

    It isn’t something unique to the Astros.... but out of Whitley, Martin, James, Valdez and Martes I expected one bonafide #2 or a pair of #3’s by now.... and certainly a dependable bullpen arm.

    Projecting???? Lol. Yeah you never ever nitpick anyone. I do believe you are in heavy denial. How? No clue.

    If James makes the playoff roster, it will be talent outweighing production.

    Clutchfans posters matched his IP tonight, yet 4 ER.

    A's took 3 out 4 of last series and the best we can hope for is a split this series. Really hope they don't get that wild card spot.

    They haven't even faced Cole or Verlander yet this series. And when they faced Greinke, they were shut out.

    They beat up on a struggling Miley and the tail end of our bullpen.

    Also if we face and them in the playoffs, we will have Yuli and Correa back.
