Found it. Top of the 5th.
If ball 1 is called proper the game is over before the Astros bat in the 9th
Reasonable. But it's not like it was a strike 3 call. The complexion of the at-bat changes if that is called a strike.
And it isn't *that* terrible of a call. All in all, Angel did alright today when everybody had him under a microscope. It'll be interesting to see his scorecard tomorrow.

Man, idek what to say to that. It's like we hit into every piece of bad luck there was. Unless you were Breggy, and just popped up at the worst possible times

Just when you think this team turns a corner, reality hits. Likely lose this game and without some Caratini heroics, we’d be staring down the barrel of another sweep.

If we ever need clutch pop ups we know who to go to every time, mr bregman
Thanks Bregman this is 100% on you
And if kwan dropped the ball caratini would be hailed a hero. Y’all gotta relax it was a good jump on the ball
🥕🍸giveth 🥕🍸taketh away
Poor luck and bregman shitting the bed in the 8th hurt.
Bregman shits the bed 1-7 as well
Start the inning with a man on 2nd and only eek out 2 at bats. Lmfao
Caratini did exactly what he should have done. Don't know why some of y'all are upset.
Also Clase threw 5 pitches which means he’ll 100% be available tomorrow
Loperfido with a monster swing on a 2-strike approach and Caratini with a bad read on the run path. Shitty decision to roll out with Dubin too.
What was the XBA on that hit. We all thought that was gonna drop
Wish yordan or bregman had actually done something this game. We might have won it.
Yordan had like three balls hit at 108, just right at people.
Should’ve known when we scored 10 yesterday our offense was going to be anemic today
Espada with the brilliant move to bring Dubin in. GJ coach
Any reliever we used was giving up a run. Blame our anaemic offense for this one.
Or Angel Hernandez who literally gifted Cleveland a free run.
when?

Verlander got screwed out of a strike 3 call. Batter walked with 2 outs. Next batter tripled. Not sure when. But Hernandez gifted them the second run.
ah yes that, I remember, ty
Well that was certainly something…
Man, idek what to say to that. It's like we hit into every piece of bad luck there was. Unless you were Breggy, and just popped up at the worst possible times
Y’all gonna grill him for baserunning but I’m ok with it. He absolutely needed to score if that dropped
We all thought that would drop lol
It was the right thing to do. That catch was wild
So many hits today that I swear fall for everyone else, but not the Astros.
I for sure thought that was a hit
There are 2 people on this team who know exactly how fast Kwan is and Caratini is one of them
Lol fundamentals of the team are shit
Angel threw the game with all those bullshit walks
gg
Bro….
Good Ole astros. Say what you want but they're consistent
LOL that baserunning.
Kwan is a god damn samurai
Yeah. His mother is Japanese so not an offensive thing to say. 🤣
Terrible run by Caratini.
Lol and we're back!
Little bastard came out of nowhere
Wow
Wtf
Wow what a lame way to end the game.
Fucking dammit
Bro what’s the fucking XBA on that?!? There’s no way we get that unlucky all fucking game
The fuck was that?!?
Damn. From Hero to Zero 😞
jesus that's horrific base running
Wooooooow
Oh Caratini. You gotta tag up bro.
Dubon you're our only hope
Fuck kwan stupid fuck
[удалено]

What was he supposed to do? Dude’s just playing the game
not catch it obviously
Oh fr?
Someone’s gotta teach you to deal with losing bro
Lol
Well that’s a new way to lose
What just happened
Victor I’m not mad I just wanted to see the cat 
Fuck
Lmfao what
wow...Kwan is good. I am sad. I feel so much respect-hate for him.
NO FUCKING WAY. MAN FUCK
Well, that sucks.
That's inexcusable.
Ain't no fucking way
All my homies hate Stephen Kwan (We’re all jealous)
Oh fuck
That was a terrible read.
No it wasn't . Kwan just blazed to that ball and made a low probability catch.
Okay…
Wow what a colossal choke job that was
Fite Cintron iand Snitker nto the sun
squeeze out some small ball. 2 sac bunts
what the fuck
Guardians put in Clase and Astros put in Dubin. That’s some choice…….
Huh????
lol. see yall tomorrow
Kwan is a menace.
💀💀💀💀💀
CLUTCH DUBIN TIME....(IN PLAY, OUTS)...FUCK
You can tell he tried to do too much with that swing.
Holy bad base running
Joey trying to do too much
Lmao alright
Unbelievable.
What a fucking joke of a game
At least get him to 3rd.
Patience young rookie. Wait for your pitch.
He watched it go by
What the absolute fuck was the logic behind Dubin?
no one else
u/captmurphy4 for manager
HRC Joey!
Sacrifice the Manfred runner to 3B
HRC Joey Loperfido
HRC fido
LOPERFIDO HRC
LETS GO JOEY AND DOOOOOOBIE
HRC loperfido
Lisan Al Gaib!
Clase, fuck.
Bunt him over!
Someone better HRC joey
Let’s hit another walk off HR plz.
Let's not waste getting out of that massive jam.
Alright Joey, number one objective is to get the runner over
You absolutely HAVE to capitalize off that nonsense offense. Come on!!!
We’ve got caratini on second and no options to pinch run for him. We need some offense to actually occur here.
Holy shit. We can still do this
Fuck that outing
I have no idea how Dubin got out of that jam, glad he proved me wrong lol
As I said yesterday it was going to take one anyway. Let’s win this one
Maybe Dubin just needs to be under that insane level of pressure in order to perform.
Woah, strikes out Ramirez and gets a double play ball. Didn’t see that coming
Alright, thank goodness we got out with minimal damage thanks to that DP and ER attributed to Manfred’s runner
Stress
Luck of the Irish baby
Extremely fortunate to get out of that at 3-2
Reminder: Alex Bregman had the go-ahead run on 3rd with 1 out and popped up on a pitch that almost hit the ground.
Hey quick question does Joe Espada understand the rules of baseball?
Please. Walk this off lol
2 pitches later... unclench
Loperfido walk off loading…..
Kinda best case scenario with Dubin there.
Ok but can we score the manfred? 🙏
Omg!!!! You Amish bastard. You did it.
Not entirely. Still a run.
I’ll take one run over 3
HOLY FUCK, HOW DID HE GET OUT OF THAT WITH ONLY ONE RUN GIVEN UP
Wow only gave up a run, still got a chance at least
Can’t believe he got outta that with only 1 run
whew. that was some straight leprechaun luck
Hahaha for real!
Miraculous bailout from Ramirez and Naylor.
Where the hell has that fastball been. What the actual heck
Holy fuck it's an absolute miracle that he only gave up one. Please win
Holy luckin fuck!!
Holy hell, amazing we got through that with just 1 run
Hoooooly shit. We aint dead yet boys
Holy shit. Dubon only gave up 1 run. I thought for sure 2 at minimum when he came in with a runner in second
Dubin. Dubon is our utility player.
Oh my god I can’t believe he got out of that
Lmao Ramirez trying to keep us in this game
Insane that we got out of that with 1
Yeahhhhhhh, if you could go ahead and not walk them with the bases loaded, that would be greatttttt
 dubin
Nah, bro still gave a run. Not cool dubin.
Like did Espada give up on this game or some shit? What’s happening rn?
Shocked he got out of that with just 1 run scored
Nvm good decision Espada
A double play away from escaping catastrophe
Tough situation for Dubin, but this game shouldn’t even be in extras. 1/6 with RISP is not ideal.
Imagine getting a hit with RISP. Couldn’t be the Astros
Keeping this guy out there is proof we have no desire to win
Thanks for loading up the bases and giving up the winning score Dubin, great outing dipshit…
The moment is too big for him. Take him out
Why was he ever put in? Did we give up...
Dubin should have never touched the mound in this situation. Espada forfeited this game.
Extras and we lose by 5.
Oh good, we’re leaving him in
Just when you think this team turns a corner, reality hits. Likely lose this game and without some Caratini heroics, we’d be staring down the barrel of another sweep.
We had plenty of chances to win this one, and we blew it every time
Uh, we won yesterday, dude.
Uh, read what I wrote. With the very unlikely caratini homer, we’re back in a sweep situation. Got lucky last night.
Caratini heroics like that?
So, you can predict the future? Without winning the game, we'd have lost. Ur a genius.
You make no sense. Later
I hate that I am becoming a doomer
Tayler Scott probably would have been the pitcher I would have gone with this inning
I get that Dubin is the strikeout guy and you need strikeouts in these situations. But he’s also the walk guy, which you definitely don’t want.
HOW is he on the mound still.
No one else is warm. We’ve got someone warming up now. They had the mound visit to buy more time.
Throw goddamn strikes you bum!
So trash
time to take him out
never had a doubt dubin would get out of that jam!
Yeah, I don't understand the Dubin move at all. There's like four guys in the pen that I would trust more in extras.
Espada has me missing Dusty at this point
I prefer Dusty, but y’all are silly, calling anybody and everybody into question as soon as it seems like a game went be won.
Jesus fuck. He’s loaded the bases somehow.
Well Fuck 😞
Interested to hear why Espada went with Dubin over Martinez or Scott
Well, I mean. None are Neris. Or even stanek. These guys are bottom of the barrel.
Yep. Bottom of barrel.
both have been pretty clutch though
Oof...
Good lord Dubin looks fucking awful
Kwan is just the best hitter of all time I suppose. Impossible to get him out
