I hate Pena. Hes very good.

[Philsmania]

Starting to really hate Pena like I hate Juan Soto. It's just not fair.

[LoneStarPhan]

HBP to #9 hitter to start the inning.

[bkeich]

That HBP was ridiculous. It might have been a strike.

[Patchmk88]

The Astros are a disgrace to baseball. That HBP was absolute garbage. If you look at it he is about to try to lean over the plate and then when he realizes it is coming in he brings his arm in. Just bush leave stuff.

Whulp

[bkeich]

Went to Alvarado two too many times.

[EDmuch]

It is not cheating if you do what you can within the rules and you draw a beneficial call from the ump.

[el-pietro]

I think thats the series

[EDmuch]

I agree too many times to Alvarado

[Dirk41]

This ain't over!!!

[Aquapong]

I wouldn’t have gone to the pen yet..

[LoneStarPhan]

Tough inning. The single was just out of reach but of course, the home run was hit well.

Alvarado has not had a good series.

[Brashin]

I think you might be right that might be the series, we have to fight back

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

Alvarez did not look good vs Wheeler which is why you have to keep Wheeler in there.
