But But why leave them in soooo long.  I don't mind losing but not like that.  Isn't that is what the bullpen is for?  Just saying

You are not likely winning this game. No point in using up arms. 

After it got to 14-2, I would have had no problem leaving King in for another inning. Game was over at that point.

16-2

Sometimes teams get into hitting streaks and there’s nothing you can do to stop the bleeding. Might even pitch position players.

Eight runs over this game and the previous 3 not counting what they may do in a meaningless 9th inning.  Not a good time for the offense to fizzle. 

Early in the game the booth was discussing Lambert's workload and then he struggled, if he has hit a wall it's going to get tough to hang on to the West and a series loss to the Angels at home is not helpful. It's baseball though and who knows what will happen at the end.

Astro batters struck out 14 times tonight.

Yuck. Hiw about the stat anniunced during the game stating the Astros have a tremendous record when the clean up hitter has an RBI?  My take has nothing to do with great win percentage in thst scenario, it's how in the heck does the 4 hole have less than 50 RBI through 130 games. They weren't referencing a specific person who has hit in that spot. It was the 4 hole in all games. That's not good. 

Bad loss tonight.
