Are the Astros going to let their best players go a week without playing? I'd be pretty surprised if good pitchers don't get some innings, if not full outings.

The joke there is that if Bob Nightengale tweets something, the literal opposite will happen. He’s notoriously wrong about everything. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Bleh, Phillies up 2-0. 

[nate82]

Not a good start to this one down 2-0 and the Phillies up 7-0.  Running out of games here.

[adambr2]

Yeah we sure look like a playoff team. 

[yourout]

There really is not a single thing this team does well consistently

[HarryDoyle]

Well, there's Yelich's monthly home run.

[adambr2]

They've got to find a way to win this one and stay even with the Phils. They don't have enough margin for error anymore and they can't keep counting on getting help especially with the tiebreaker working against them. 

[Robocaller]

we're behind, we're ahead, we're tied, and now we're sorta behind again (phl winning, we losing).

bumpy ride.

I don’t think we’ve ever been ahead

yes we were, by a 1/2 game.

When was that 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I think the Phil's have 2 losses left in them, which means the Brewers can afford (checks napkin soaked in nervous sweat) one more of their own. Maybe let's not make it tonight?

[Brewcrew82]

Wong is not good against LHP.

maybe it was after one of the games was finished, but not the other?

[willie key]

Ashby gave up a homer to the .176 number nine hitter?     Man we give up to homers to busters almost every night.   It’s crazy

[Robocaller]

quick hook for Ashby.

 

[willie key]

Ashby wasn’t terrible tonight

I was just hoping he'd go 5. So he could get the win after we take the lead in the bottom of the inning. His W-L record is pretty dreadful.

 

[HarryDoyle]

Boy has Miller Lite's ad campaign gone downhill over the years. We've went from the "Less Filling, Taste's Great" commercials with Uecker and hundreds of other sports celebrities to having to listen to Ace of Base every commercial break.

[jason21nl]

When Caratini Ks they won’t score

 

and there’s the K

[willie key]

I’m at the point now that I do t care what inning it is.  If our catchers come up in a big spot with a rally going.   Pinch hit for them.   They are losing games for us.  Period 

[HarryDoyle]

This team's situational hitting absolutely sucks.

[jason21nl]

Freaking predictable.

You don’t even have to qualify it

the hitting just sucks
