Goldy up, 2nd and 3rd. One out.

But he’s not slumping.
With all due respect to our favorite Diamondback, Goldy is not slumping. He is declining.

We've heard from the announcers during the game that Goldy is not able to hit fast balls.

We don't want to believe it, but denial isn't going to help.

Not gonna front, im a little concerned about Goldy. But to be where were at now with him playing the way he is has to be looked at in a positive light. We are pretty solid. Just need to add one more legit sp imo

Why did we pull Archie? He only threw 11 pitches.

'Disappointing that Yoshi has let in the tying runs.

But with three closer level relievers, the plan was never for Archie to pitch more than two innings, which would have been the case if he pitched another full inning.

I'm a Goldy defender but something's gotta give. At least push him down in the order.

Yeah, he gave up 2 runs and threw 25 pitches getting 3 outs. Archie got 4 outs on 11 pitches.

The Astros show way there a contender in the D backs or pretender they get the runs home when they're in scoring position the D backs do wwsk pop-ups and strikeouts

Whew! Goldy with a walk to load the bases. Up comes Pollock. Tied with two outs in the 9th.

It was cool to finally see a game we won. And the way we won it. No one wanted to leave.

These guys just keep winning!

Grienke was great today. Yes, great. This Astros lineup is on fire to pitch 7innings of 2 run baseball against them is great.

Just realized had Verlander taken Kate’s last name, his name would be Justin Upton.
