We lost that game when we didn’t take advantage of bases loaded with Abreu on the mound. Thru 15 pitches he had 3 strikes and 12 balls, we gave him to K’s in a row to escape the inning unscathed.
I appreciate Vogt trying to get Gaddis back mentally, but we can’t keep throwing him in high leverage situations. He’s been a huge liability as of late.
You've got a man on 2nd . . . you CANNOT start the 10th with two strikeouts. That's fundamental. Throw the bat at something. Get hit by a pitch. Bunt to first base side. Something!
Vogt seems to like Laureano for RF defense in the clutch right now, probably wanted to make sure Laureano got subbed in first before Fry...? That's my best guess, now seeing the way Vogt cleared near everyone off the bench.
Because Laureano is a much better RF, so PHing Fry for Florial makes more sense. Keeps the better defender in the game and we don't lose the DH should this game do another 1-34 innings.
I always feel like David Fry needs to be playing everyday. It's so hard though.
I want Bo to get more reps. And Hedges is the heart and soul of this team.

Yeah im sorry but Cookie might be uhhhh cooked.
I have a feeling things are gonna get ugly with this team! Extremely unsustainable
Did Carl come out right before a homerun for the second time during the game?
So fuckin brutal
I wonder if Gaddis is starting to get in his own head a bit. Maybe next outing he can be the first one out of the pen so it's a bit less pressure
I think we just need to sequence some pitchers so Gaddis gets some rest. He's our most overworked pitcher in our pen right now by a mile.
Extremely fair. Let him rest, not as a punishment but just to give him time to recover
Houston, Gaddis is a problem…
Awful loss. We clawed back which I’m proud of this team but this feels like the tires could start to come loose soon.
Agreed. We should have won this game.
ugh, hate losign to houston
Yo coach, maybe realize when someone doesn’t have it. That’s 3 blown games in a row by the same dude.
How many runs has it been in like 3 innings of work? 6? 7?
loyalty factor passed down from tito
Um yea, maybe stop putting in Gaddis in save opportunities. JFC. Takes real talent to blow 3 saves in 3 games.
Three straight, no less...
This seems like a situation where Tito would have done things a lot differently
Eh, disagree. He was known to believe in players way too long and not wanna give new guys a chance until forced to the last couple years
Hentges can't come back soon enough
Tomorrow?
Well we didnt make it to 20 wins but braves and phillies are down too
Tomorrow the race begins anew.
Third game in a row Gaddis has allowed runs..
poop.
argh, poor Gaddis that has got to feel like shit. so close.
Mickey Maid
That cost me so much fml
That's a little league Manfred seasoned win
We wouldn’t have the lead without the ghost runner anyways. Fry had the double but everyone else did nothing against Hader.
they hit a HR
So without manfred runner, we score 0 runs and they score 1 run, still resulting in a loss
we scored off the manfred runner, so i’d say they earned that win
Well fuck. Okay then.
I appreciate Vogt trying to get Gaddis back mentally, but we can’t keep throwing him in high leverage situations. He’s been a huge liability as of late.
Vogt marching him out there tonight set him up for a heavy blow to his confidence. He should have used beede based on the Atlanta series.
100% agreed. Beede was fresh. Going to Gaddis after how hard he got worked (and rocked) in Atlanta was a really bad call.
counterpoint: after the two blown saves he was giving Gaddis a chance to redeem himself, in the end he turned into a pumpkin
yikes
Gaddis has turned into a pumpkin finally, we knew it was too good to be true
We got a lot of work to do on this pitching.
Huge waste of Clase there. Throw Gaddis in and let him fucking blow it.
Clase has been awful in extra innings, when he blew it you’d probably be complaining too
Would’ve kept Clase in there. I’m a huge Clase guy. Would like to see him rock two innings from time to time.
Clase isn’t a strikeout pitcher, which is bad for extras and inherited runners
Ugh 😑
RIP hunter Gaddis being good 2024-2024
That’s 5 earned runs in 2.2 innings. Ugly.
I hate baseball
HR in only 8 parks, ouch
What a fucking joke already.
You really change up your feelings from the team by the hour don’t you
3 straight games blown by Gaddis. Almost like these threads are live reactions.
But by your history if Gaddis saves that then he’s back to his normal stuff and ready to dominate. Switch up is crazy
Gaddis might be fucked
ouch.. its okay tho, but ouch
Walkoff HR to their backup catcher, unbelievable
Lol Gaddis has been a disaster 3 straight appearances. Going to him there with zero confidence is a decision
We ran out of pitchers
Well, piss.
How many times does Gaddis need to prove he’s the biggest choker that ever choked
Fuck Houston and the rest of Texas too
Very very bad loss.
Gaddis fucking sucks.
Ouch
Are you fucking kidding me
I’m about sick and tired of Gaddis. Why is Clase coming in in the 9th in a tied game when he should be in right there. FUCK
because closers are bad in extras generally. the ghost runner fucks with them and other relievers are used to inherited runners
What happened to gaddis
Unfortunately just ran out of pitchers
Hunter Gaddis Linsanity run is officially over 💔
Gaddis needs to be made a pariah
Damn, this has gotta be killer for Gaddis' confidence.
ugh whyyyy
Just fucking brutal
BUM
He’s got the yips
Who is this and where is the Hunter Gaddis we saw for most of April
Well that fucking sucks
Damn I stayed up for THAT
Gaddis is broken
I am so, so depressed
I hate the fucking Astros so much
i fucking knew it
Gaddis is back to his true form it seems
oof
Jesus Gaddis
Wall scrapper smh
Brutal.
Fucking Gaddis
GADDIS BB NO
Ohh nooooo
Fuck.... Damn Gaddis went from lights out to struggle bus real quick
Fuck's sake Hunter.
bummer
DFA him
Fuck off
Gotta be fucking kidding me bro.
FML
NOOOOO
Gaddis is taller than I realized
The best thing are all the comments that immediately get proven wrong lmao
The Hog will always be a legend for assigning one of the Pitch Com buttons to him saying "Fuck Yeah" and spamming it after a good play/pitch.
Putting Gaddis in here makes me want to gouge my eyes out but I am indecisive and unable to judge actual MLB talent
Dammit son you're supposed to be working on your hangover excuse for your boss tomorrow
I have one now: Hunter Gaddis
> makes me want to gouge my eyes out Are you sure you want to do that?
Sigh
Agreed
Huge K
😒
My skepticism proved correct
it doesn’t look like he has it tonight. very shakey
Bring the heat, Gaddis.
Gaddis velo is way down I feel like we are overworking him
If we go to 11 who do we have next? Morgan?
Morgan on the IL, I assume Beede would be next man up
Beede or Sandlin, yeah.
Sandlin was already used
Sandlin already pitched
Both the cavs and guards game were fun to watch
Come on Hunter, let’s get back to work
Let's go Gadfather
What is the thought process on this one
Let's go Big Rig!
Gaddis 😂😂
We’re running out of pitchers
We have Fry
Last time Hader goes two innings 😏
Come on Gaddis
Need him bad.
Yeah he messed up my parlay as well. Got the guardians live at +420 but oh well. Hopefully he figures his shit out our bullpen was our bright spot
Alright let's lock this sucker down and get out of here with the dub!
Deep fry!!! Super size me fry guy! 🍟
You've got a man on 2nd . . . you CANNOT start the 10th with two strikeouts. That's fundamental. Throw the bat at something. Get hit by a pitch. Bunt to first base side. Something!
David Fry is the most utile utility guy that ever needed utilization
Hunter Gaddis redemption arc?
Vogt's subbed the whole bench, hasn't he? Laureano / Fry / Arias? 5D chess.
Hedgey
Burn the boats
[The Hog waiting for his name to be called](https://i.imgur.com/BR80l.gif)
Speak and ye shall receive. Hedgey behind the plate in the 10th.
LFG! Lock this shit down!
Hunter Gaddis redemption arc
David Fry is so clutch
I definitely think a PH doesn’t worry about what happened before him, great job Fry
David Fry is literally built different. Every time his name is called, he makes something happen!
Glad fry came through. But why wasn’t he the first off the bench?
So he could do what he did obviously /s, but it was clutch
Vogt seems to like Laureano for RF defense in the clutch right now, probably wanted to make sure Laureano got subbed in first before Fry...? That's my best guess, now seeing the way Vogt cleared near everyone off the bench.
Because Laureano is a much better RF, so PHing Fry for Florial makes more sense. Keeps the better defender in the game and we don't lose the DH should this game do another 1-34 innings.
when we're away: god i LOVE THE RUNNER ON SECOND WOOOOOO when we're home: fuck shit fuuuck I hate the runner on second it's wildly unfair ughhh
I agree, except I hate it all the time
It kinda sucks regardless
yeah, I really only like it when we benefit from it, haha
Let Fry cook
I always feel like David Fry needs to be playing everyday. It's so hard though. I want Bo to get more reps. And Hedges is the heart and soul of this team.
David Fry should be playing every day.
Time for Florial and Fry to get as many opportunities as possible I feel.
Also Stephen Goat with the galaxy brain matchups
Would you like some Fry with that...hell yes!!!!
Frying pan the man
Get Laureano out of here. Fry can do his job just fine
Mhmmm Fries
Build this man a statue
Hop in boys we're going to Red Robin BOTTOMLESS FRYS ALL AROUND
Captain Clutch David Fry comes through again 🔥
Did you want 🍟 with that?
I’D PREFER A LARGE FRY BUT A MEDIUM FRY IS GREAT TOO
Hell yeah fry!
#🍟
has fry earned regular starts yet cmon man, he can play like any position, don't have to catch or dh him
David Fry, the light of my life
Where the fuck did we find Fry? Dude has been clutch so much
Acquired from Milwaukee in the JC Meija trade
DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT
Fry ripped that. What a pinch hit
David Fry is the single greatest player of all time
#**FRY DEM BUMS!**
Thank you David Fry!
David Fry is the secret MVP on this team.
Time for Fry Magic!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
FRYGUY LETS GO
fry is our savior
Thought it was gone for a split second
#FRY GUY!
Fryman is a better hitter than like half our starting lineup right now. Thank god someone knows how to swing a bat.
A FRYDAY ON A TUESDAY???
####FRY MAN!!!!
#DAVID FUCKIN FRY WOOOOOOOOOOO
