  1. Bad Framber. Get one more out and hope this is his bad inning
  2. I don’t mind those three being aggressive.
  3. Ldogg. let’s go
  4. Don’t fuck around and wait to jump on Skubal (yeah, yeah, “make him work and get in to their bullpen)… I get that but I don’t think I can’t take a low scoring /scoreless game in to the 7th or 8th where we’ve clearly been the better team and just haven’t been able to get across runs
  5. Espn(abc) is the woooorsst.…bad news is expect this for every game the next three days. good news, disney is done broadcasting MLB games in 2024 after the wild card round.
  6. Hinch is no dummy
  7. You have to look at 2nd half stats vs 1st half stats with them. Completely different teams
  8. Exactly my initial reaction so infuriating
  9. Wilder only agreed to play the part of Willy Wonka on the condition they let him fake having a limp in the opening scene on the idea you wouldn’t know for the rest of the movie if he was lying or not /csb Which also exactly sums up our medical staff/front office when it comes to injuries.
  10. If the Yankees hold serve, the only playoffs games we’ll have at home on the weekend (Fri-Sun)* would be games 4 and 5 of the LCS. Game 4 (Friday, Oct 18) would likely be primetime at least as that’ll be getaway day for the NLCS. Game 5 of the ALCS (assuming we don’t sweep the Yankees) is on Oct 19 and is the only game that day (meaning it’ll be in primetime). So root for an afternoon Texas/UGA kickoff. * - assumes at least 1 of the LCS’ goes 6 or 7 games. If both finish in 4 or 5, we’d host games 3-5 of the World Series Fri-Sun Oct 25-27. Otherwise, World Series games in Houston would be Mon-Wed Oct 28-30.
  11. Would be nice to include the number of players in parentheses in each category. i’m drawing a blank, what does “NOFA” mean? really interesting how much the NL teams have relied on trades and free agency… and how much Luhnow’s legacy still lives on in Houston and Baltimore, and to a lesser extent Milwaukee
  12. A little better angle than my view… look how shitty “El Pequeno” was 17 years ago
  13. This. time to bully the mlb in to this like going back on the all star game jerseys. i’m sure there is some dumb shit written in to the TV contracts. The espn deal is through 2028, but espn has an opt out after next year. if the nfl is comfortable enough putting two games on MNF at the same time, MLB can do the same thing with the WC/LDS rounds.
  14. But speaking of naming rights, I just got this from a relative a couple of weeks ago:
  15. Money can buyout anything but: The Astros sold naming rights of the ballpark in 2002 to locally based Coca-Cola subsidiary Minute Maid for $100 million over 30 years
  16. Give me the D-Backs to win it all if they do.
  17. Remind me which knee? left? Or right? if right, just wheel him out there if he’s the tying/winning run in the 8th or 9th (or extras) and let him crawl around the bases if he has to after delivering this year’s version of the Robbie Ray blast
  18. There should never be a playoff series where Dubon starts over Yordan…but if there were, it would be this one (better against Tiger pitching this year in every category with only 4 fewer plate appearances than Yordan):
  19. I mean we’re good, but split squad meeting in the WS? 2019, sure. 2024, I don’t know
  20. Ferguson and King’s numbers the past month are both shitty. Turd’s are slightly less shitty. ort’s are better than them both (including against lefties), except for the long ball. Which is not what you want right now. I have no idea. Put King, Ferguson, Ort, JV names in to a hat. Hold your nose and pull two out.
  21. He means “fighting the pressure” instead of just playing loose, relaxing.
  22. That would have been a lot cooler if the loser went home. instead of delaying their turn at the champagne for 3.5 hours.
