Umps cost us another base runner.

that coulda been fair. all these balls hit down the line, we cant get one called fair. Fing philly hating refs in every sport.

Not 'coulda' been fair.  It was fair.  No way it could have landed where it did without going over the bag from where it bounced initially.  Physically impossible.   It was fair and the same guy that missed the one last inning missed again.

Do these Fers realize it’s potentially their last game? Fing swing the bat you ****!

The offense has nothing. They aren’t winning if this continues. They’re in one of their patented funks and when they go cold they go ice cold 

So how donwe upgrade hoskins for next year?

He was correct on the first one

last one could and maybe should be fair

Ugh. We’re going to waste Ranger tonight.

Seriously, this is driving me nuts…especially the Schwarber at bat. Way too passive.

You don’t. They have very little to trade and ant trade assets need to go to pitching and there are no free agent 1B available better than him. He’s the best option. To keep. He just shouldn’t be hitting at the top of the order. Go out and get Correa or Bogaerts and move him down to 6th.

Could go Hall. Not sure he’s an upgrade cause he’s young and never really gotten much playing time at the mlb level against lefties. But he has good power and he can’t be worse as a fielder as hoskins.

Wear the starter out. Dont be a spaz at the plate

It’s a fine line, but Schwarbs looked at 3 strikes, I believe

Is this just a flash in the pan or is this a team that can/will go deep next year too?

Regardless of how the rest of this series go, they definite;y need a starter and reliever this winter, but they desperately need at least one other quality bat. They’re so fortunate to have gotten this far with an offense this boom or bust and that relies this heavily on the home run. They need a consistent hitter who can grind at bats at the top of the order. Too many strikeouts up top. It’s a major need.

Think 2008 Eagles 

Holy crap.

They need some additions. Another front line starter would help. Getting 2 more bullpen pieces. I’m guessing segura is gone and they make a run at bogerts, Correa or Turner. The rumor has been turner as he wants to play on the east coast and is good friends with harper 

Hate the Astros ball park. That ball by Sosa would be gone usually

Trae Turner

There's some serious holes, or people who need to progress for this to continue IMO.  Marsh needs to develop a bat, and Hoskins needs to...not go through long slumps.  Segura disappearing this playoffs is disappointing as well.

You’re asking the wrong guy, I have a big time agenda against Turner I can’t stand him. But the Phillies are rumored to be enamored with him so they’ll probably pursue him.

2008 team doesn't want their trophy back.

Astros get so lucky. Except for that fat ass catcher they have.

Cheating fat ass too.

Went to game 6 in Minute Maid 2019….HOU v WAS

Was thrilled to attend a WS game.

It was quiet and boring as F in that place
