  1. V ending this would work, too.
  2. Punish them with a few more here.
  3. They no longer have even a microscopic sliver of interest in this event. But they continue to show Jethro Bodine and his merc pitcher while ignoring White.
  4. I want Stewie to break a window. In Tulsa.
  5. Barreling it up the other way. The way monster bats should when pitched away. Destroy them now.
  6. The Ogre was in Deliverance?
  7. Liking Stewie in front of Joley tonight. Seems our best possible lineup at the moment.
  8. Maybe the network is busy setting up details of covering the parade. Which had better be in Austin.
  9. I'm still not seeing such high chances of precipitation on the NWS forecast for OKC, but maybe I'm missing something. Hope it stays dry.
  10. Something tells me I do. While you're at it, please take a glove with you and at least knock down any grounders Tech hits that way.
  11. The way we've been playing soccer on the right side of the IF, vs. what's been happening with Mia and (usually) Goode, I dread the thought of Tech trying to bunt or hit the ball into our trouble zone. I mean, it would be mighty temping to do so if TK pitches in a way that facilitates it. I trust we know that and will work to counter it, but that of course remains to be seen. Let's play great D all over the field and not have to worry about it.
  12. Personality has a ton to do with it. Low-key guy. And as noted, I'm just offering a 30,000-foot view. I was never in those games or clubhouses and don't have personal connections with anyone who was.
  13. Agree. Once Tucker went from buzzworthy phenom to everyday player, I kept waiting for him to take the leap into the stratosphere of iconic Astros...and he just never did. Didn't even seriously threaten to win a batting crown post-shift, as I felt sure he could have. Never (to my knowledge) became a rock of the clubhouse in a visible way. Didn't follow Yordan's lead and lock into a long deal with Houston. Didn't appear to engage with fans even 1% as much as they supported him. And he cemented all that by proving a pedestrian performer in October. I began to sense he cared only about a monster deal and not maxing out his game to earn one. That scramble for his 30th homer was perhaps a good example of playing for himself and not the franchise. Correct me if I'm wrong.
  14. Along similar lines, it took me way longer than it should have to realize "AGTG" wasn't some contraction of "AgTag."
  15. Common sense says the more pitches you see from a given source, the greater your comfort level and confidence. Even if you haven't been hitting them hard, recognition at least is simplified a bit. That counts for a lot, because it's so hard to hit a pitch you've never seen. As noted, Cimusz had a tremendous AB despite coming in cold. Not sure how often she'd faced Canady over the years, but she hung really tough and made solid contact. That's what you need from everyone in crunch time. And crunch time is exactly what this whole game will be. Strike early, play clean and light the tower.
  16. He's a slightly more experienced Michael Earley and a much less expressed Bucky McMillan. That's about all I have.
  17. I'd roll with Stewart, Goode and Cimusz at 6-7-8 and take my chances. Had we done that tonight, maybe we wouldn't have been trying to climb out of such a pit. We'll never know. Left unmentioned is that Joley's having a tougher series than I'd anticipated. Need her very best at the plate and at 1B tomorrow.
  18. Didn't play clean enough, to put it mildly. We really hit the ball better than they did, but so sloppy late. Didn't like seeing Cit in a tight spot.
  19. At least she's now seen a few pitches
  20. Cit hasn't been good. I'm disappointed White went there, but so it goes.
