      At this point I'm worried about even making it to the NLDS. This new bullpen has blown 4 or 5 games already in the week+ that we have had them. I'm not questioning the trades being made, but in hindsight this is quickly becoming one of the worst series of trades in recent memory.

        Keep in mind that you might be getting the Cubs in the NLDS. And this Cubs team can't do anything consistently. Also has serious bullpen problems.

          I'm not saying this could have been avoided if the Braves actually tried to make their team better in the free agent market but I don't think the #9 draft pick was worth heading into the home stretch with THIS bullpen and what we paid in prospects to get it

              I was annoyed in the off-season when, knowing how bad it was last year, AA literally did NOTHING to fix it. It was absolutely baffling; the window for this team starts now and we won’t accomplish a single thing because our bullpen is hot garbage.

                  This statistician is dumb, a play Urias should've give way to Renfroe but didn't make should've been an error, but he tags Tatis with one on what was a very close play be Tapia that arguably was an infield single.

                    How did it not clear? Was whoever was supposed to clear it on vacation so they had nobody else working?

                    And 9 officers? Is that common for stolen vehicles? I could understand 2 cars at once, but that sounds like 4 maybe 5 cars? Wouldn't a single car pulling him over and another standing watch incase of a chase be the right thing in that moment? If he fails to show he's registered to the vehicle, then act.

                        Most runs the Astros have ever scored.

                        Yordan decided to join Aquino, and that makes 2 rookies tonight that hit 3 home runs in a game.

                          Really glad I fell asleep when the game was still 0-0.

                          I would have broken my phone or TV or something.

                                If the pattern holds, his next homer will come in the 6th inning and be about 117 MPH.
                                they should keep throwing him fastballs it's obviously working. Gotta love the road cubs. The small degree of separation they had is gone again. now they gotta win probably the worst pitching match on paper when this series began to get a split.

                                also if Almora leads off again Joe Needs to be fired. it seems extreme but he keeps going back to it.
