18 sides come up to bat, 18 shiners in a box. Coincidence?

You know how I know you have a Costco membership?

It doesn't account for Cash over managing with the drawn in infield + the shift. I still can't believe he did that.

Kevin Cash kinda sounds/kinda looks like Fritzy from the Dan Patrick Show.

how much money would you be comfortable losing right now on a bet if it guaranteed an Astros trip to the World Series?

Yeah I get analytics and understand why bunting has decreased overall, but Got dammit, there are still certain situations that just beg for a bunt, and people are crazy to not be doing it in those circumstances. 

I heard in one of  the games the other day that some managers would like to bunt more, but "nobody does it any more, so nobody's good at it". Lamest, weakest excuse ever.

1st and 2nd with nobody out is actually the most defensible bunting situation, With Maldonado up and Springer on deck it may actually be the analytically correct play. It's also the best stolen base situation (double steal) if you've got the guys on for that.

Bold statement. It’s good to know that a double steal with a man on 1st and 3rd isn’t better. 

[Huckleberry 33072]

lulz

That parenthetical just means the double steal there is the best stolen base option, not just stealing third.

Yeah only 1 day off too for them. 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Like to see another good outing by Lance and for Bregs and Yuli to breakout.  A stress free game would be really nice.

Here’s to 10 in the top of the first and then a clean next 8.5 innings. 

[tx 3 putt 77336]

Professional Hitter 

[Mo Horn 8853]

Professional hitter 

[WBT 20653]

There you go Uncle Mike

Professional hitter!! - Frenchy

[runthebone 8029]

Missed a mistake

[rvm96 1643]

TBS was so busy hyping up Correa they were late to get back to the game for the SO

[tx 3 putt 77336]

Not the ideal first pitch 

[Mo Horn 8853]

That's a good start Lance

[clapclapclap 9000]

Roof is open.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

not a good start for LMJ

[WBT 20653]

LMJ had 4 hbp in the 2017 WS Game 7.  That turned out ok.

[Limp Brisket 546]

I’m tired of hearing about ol Randy

[tx 3 putt 77336]

Fuck

[elfenix 34331]

god fucking damnit

[Macklemore 2873]

Fuck 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

That was killer

[Lat22 4014]

Why do we fucking pitch to him? It’s not rocket science.

[Js1 85527]

Probably shouldn’t throw him another pitch. Period 

[HoustonFrog 368]

McCullers is so bad

[runthebone 8029]

Horrible pitch

[FondrenRoad 4378]

Should have tried to make him chase. 

[Wulaw Horn 19147]

And coming back from 3 games down and all the momentum is now gone. 
fucking greatest player in the history of the world or something. 

[Wishbone 4776]

Fucking hell Lance! Why do they continue to fuck up against that guy?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Why are we even pitching to him?

Not a FB

[runthebone 8029]

Just fucking braindead

[Lat22 4014]

I’d walk him with the bases loaded.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Need Lance to not melt over it.

[Wishbone 4776]

Hard enough to face Morris in game 7. Not need to get behind him by multiple runs in the first inning due to dumbassery.

[runthebone 8029]

Hopefully he settles down

[HoustonFrog 368]

He’s just so fucking wild. He’s the guy with the remarkable stuff so he’s never had to learn to hit a dime
