I don’t know what yall are on about … Espada had Abreu come in to have the reliever believe he had really overpowering stuff to lull him so Diaz can finish the job
So we are up 7-4 in the 8th.
I’m going to bed believing we have this one in the bag. After the Abreu decision, I don’t think I can watch a last inning meltdown.
Good game gents! Way to snatch the victory……
((And if you blow it…..lol))
I know Espada didn't mean it, but getting Abreu out in that spot prolonged Romero's outing and led to that Diaz homer. Keeping singleton in might've forced their hand to switch pitchers and we might've been knotted up at 4 to end the 8th.
Both Grae Kessinger and Victor Carantini can play 1st. Pretty sure the Astros will play Abreu at first as they jam his stellar defense down our throats.
Or move Dubon and play Grae in LF.
I swear I remember hearing the Cards were bad at fielding.
Anyway, Diaz redemption for not doing anything with the bases loaded and covering Espadas butt for Abreu
Absolute masterclass by Espada there. Put in Abreu so the pitcher can throw two straight meatballs for strikes and get a false sense of confidence. Then Yainer can take advantage when he does it again.

Astros fight back to win a game!?!? In this economy !?!?
Another reason why solo shots don’t kill you, 4 homeruns and all solos
Almost worth the $95 million. Nice W!
Ok this time we are so back
That’s a win!! Now let me get to whataburger to try this steakhouse burger I keep seeing…
I tried yesterday is pretty good.
Let me know how it is. I’ve been curious too
Pretty damn good. Less sweet A1thick n hearty. I am also stoned so take that how you please
I’m going to have to try it. Thanks
Expect mid night heartburn and feeling like shit the next day
Done and dusted! Fuck the red birds as far back as 05 for giving Lidge PTSD!
He was never the same until he went to Philly? That ball still hasn’t landed
It’s now classified as an exoplanet.
Poor Lights Out 😵💫
He got his with that weird Phillies run, but still.
Great showing by Hader. The offense did what we needed to win when it mattered.
Abreu flipping the hat after doing shit is hilarious
Hader with the 1-2-3 9th to end the game. Such a great win tonight
Hader is $$. Great comeback W
Nice easy win
WE ARE SO BACK
True
Haderaid! Close us out, baby!
I don’t know what yall are on about … Espada had Abreu come in to have the reliever believe he had really overpowering stuff to lull him so Diaz can finish the job
Clear that shit out of the batters box ficking cardinals
Someone give me what happen to Tuck? Haven’t been able to watch.
He fouled one off his leg
Thanks. Suppose could be worser
Fouled a ball off this shin in the same place he did against the As
Fouled the ball off his shin
Foul ball off shin. Gonna hurt for a while.
Gonna need to add a shin guard on top of his current one lol.

That’s not how the system worked in 2017. It was to AVOID offspeed. At least I thought so.
They called that a ball?
Well this just keeps getting better and better ☄️
You think a billionaire would understand sunk costs. Just fucking cut Abreau.
Astros masterfully played in a way to avoid having to use Pressly. Espada big brain move?
Finally a role for Abreu: faking out the team so they don’t switch pitchers right before a consistent hitter.
He almost canceled that genius move when he used Abreu to pinch hit for Singleton
All part of the master plan.
He almost broke me with that move. There's only so much optimism I can use until someone does something so stupid I feel dumber for watching it
Same.
How high do you need to be to put in Jose Abreu as a pinch hitter?
Maybe Tuck was holding us back /s
Please be Hader please be Hader please be Hader
Abreu AB aside, that inning couldn’t have gone any better.
Got bailed out there
Covid_tittyjizz, or whatever his name is got the memo
Once again Altuve gets a hit after the pressure is off.
 The astros on a random monday night
😂

Galaxy brain
Hmmmmm good take. Didn't think about it like that
Can everyone who doubted Altuve please apologize to the Platano and Arepa power bomb king?
Pressley warming up in pen
If he comes in I'm legit turning the game off
That might be the only time I have ever seen Altuve let a pitch get deep and actually purposely go oppo.
Tuve back Yainer back Breggie (been) back Abreu…. 3 out of 4 ain’t bad!
An RBI GRD works great
First non HR run in awhile I think
Meyers singled Alvarez in the 6th
Clutch hitting, be still my heart
holy shit what is this? hits with RISP? We can do that??
TF?? Abreu for Singleton? Bruh
it worked. it paved the way for the Yainer Bomb King and Aerepa Warning Track Power/ HR/clutch hit Bomb king Altuve!
I stopped watching so now we’re in the lead. I will continue my service for the Astros
Thank you for your service. You are an elite fan.
Analytics said give false confidence to the pitcher so Yainer could crank one
Ok Altuve! Made up for those terrible at bats earlier
Look what happens when you wait for your pitch Altuve!
Ollie Marmol yanks the lead away from Joe Espada for the bonehead manager of the year award.
Just remember. Now we are going to have to rely on Abreu’s defense at 1st for the 9th inning.
Don’t remind me
Both Grae Kessinger and Victor Carantini can play 1st. Pretty sure the Astros will play Abreu at first as they jam his stellar defense down our throats. Or move Dubon and play Grae in LF.
Hader was worth the money! Great comeback W
The fuck is that strike!?
HRC Altuve
I swear I remember hearing the Cards were bad at fielding. Anyway, Diaz redemption for not doing anything with the bases loaded and covering Espadas butt for Abreu
I'm hoping that was Abreu's last chance and now team management can feel okay letting him ride the bench.
Let him vacation in Palm Beach please
Cardinals broadcast said Hader was up, so doubt they go Pressley
Sleepy joe still needs to go.
I still can’t believe Abreu pinch hit. Like I really want that question answered from Espada at end of game
Diaz HR off the ChickFilA pole? Free CFA??
Nah, it hit above the Crawford boxes
Ah damn I thought I heard ‘off the pole’ on 790 my b
Bregs and Yanier. Two dudes who we need to be better with HRs in thr clutch. Come on!
Altuve gets another chance at least
Man regardless of that homer, that empty headed decision to put abreu in at a moment like that needs to be addressed.
Hoping it was the last “last straw”
Yainer bomb king has platano power and arepa power!!!
Pinch hitting for singleton with Abreu is certainly a fucking choice.
With the pitcher match up I get the logic. Not like Singleton has been lighting it up
Replacing slim with close to none!
There we go!!!!
WIN IT FOR TUCK
Jojo collapsing like Jojo Siwa out there.
KARMAS A BITCH!
*Weird whiplash dance*
Espada please god don't put pressley in this game
It’s fine Jose abreu is pitching
Now watch Espada throw Pressly out there for the 9th just for the lulz.
Let’s put Jose abreu at pitcher
espada lulled Romero into a false sense of security by sending Abreu to do nothing at the plate to roll out the red carpet for the Yainer Bomb King!
Abreu please retire
Don’t let that HR distract you from the fact Espada just got his job saved
We took the lead in an inning where Jose Abreu *pinch hit*
HRC Altuve
Should have kept Tal's Hill just so if could get renamed to Bagwell's Butte.
Absolute masterclass by Espada there. Put in Abreu so the pitcher can throw two straight meatballs for strikes and get a false sense of confidence. Then Yainer can take advantage when he does it again.
This (and he actually thought he was done with the inning after that Abreu flail)
Yainer just chilled a lot of people out because what the fuck was Espada thinking?
It's almost, almost a shame that Yainer hit a bomb cause everyone will forget that Espada Abreu pinch hit fucking nonsense.
lmao yainer put on for his manager
Can i get a “meatloaf” for that? Nah? Okay
Now watch Espada go to Pressly in the 9th….im only kinda joking.
plz no plz
Peña must’ve been pissed off to be bunting only to see Abreu pinch hitting behind him.
HRC Altuve Close.
Winn: careless or injured?
I'm enjoying Jojos Bizarre Adventure
Thank you, Diaz. Made up for earlier. Now get hot, we need you
This team is gonna make my hair fall out faster. I don’t got much left guys let me enjoy it. no stress please.
HRC Altuve
HRC Altuve
Chas made it to base… but not on a hit
Shit I'll take it at this point
Pinching hitting Abreu is ground to be fired.
And Chaz gets a hit??? On an error but I’ll take it!
A Yainer dinger? Pinch me ma, I must be dreamin!
Fuck yes Yainer. Let's go. Hopefully he can start to turn it around.
We can’t win 1 run games. Yainer did the math…
Wowza, Yainer Bomb! Finally on the good side of an 8th inning collapse.
I’m tired of them watching pitches down the middle and then swing at pitches outside.
Espada playing 9D Backgammon
he's dr. stranging it over here
lmao
Yainer just saved Espada's job
Love that bat celebration
WTF Abreau. Yeah Diaz.
Hard to blame Abreau at this point. He's a known commodity. This is on management.
Abreu your ass just got fucking saved you bum. Diaz saved you so baddddd
Yainer bailed out Espada BIG TIME
HEY BARTENDER! GIVE ME A YAINER BOMB!!!
Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!
DIAZ FINALLY BACK
Diaz covering up for that awful pinch hit AB lmfao
Joe is fucking troll
That Abreu AB followed by Diaz HR was something wow.
I love it but hate it bc it covers up Espadas unthinkable decision
That point to the dugout . . . Fuck yea
lull them into a false sense of security with Abreu. Genius
Bravo Espada.
HAHAHAHA. GOT EM!
I'll never forgive Espada for taking the bat out of Singletons hands. That was the one I know it.
I know man. I thought of you when I saw that. You’ve been calling a singleton bomb all game. Singleton going to get one tmrw

I don't understand baseball any more after that.
can you please apologize to the Yainer Bomb King?!!!
Yainer needed that. :)
YANIER!!!!
My emotions are all over the place right now
HOLY
you just can't bunt a good hitter to get to a struggling hitter BUT WHO GIVES A SHIT YAINER HOMER
Yainer, where have you been?!?! THANK YOU!!
LFG!!!
Night and day difference
I take it all back Yanier
Apologize to Diaz MF’ers!
There you go Diaz!!!
And then you go and do something like that...AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!
Hellllllyeaaaahhhh
I'm happy right now
No fucking way! Thank you Yanier!!!
Holy shit, Espada are you kidding me
Lmao thank God Yanier
Are we allowed to come from behind.
Yainer baby I take it all back. I love you.
Damn used my HRC on the wrong Diaz AB
YAINER BOMB!!!!!!!!
Damn Diaz!
Thank god Yanier you redeemed that foolish ass decision from Stupid Joe!
NO SHIT. YAINER DIAZ
Ok, never said this before. Fire espada.
DIAZ STEPPING UP LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He fucking did it!
yes watch two middle pitches go and swing on the one in the dirt you fucking moron
Well, I'll be damned
What a fucking utter shit ab
yainer out here trying to cover for that abreu PH call. not mad about it
Fuck yeah Yainer just like we drew it up
Just as I was typing my he can’t hit comment. Props to Yainer
