Damn, 8 guys with multi-hit games.  Is that good?  6 with at least 3 hits.  Do we have that many with 3 hits in the last week?

although this year, it would take a month to score this many runs.

 

I miss Yordan 

 

 

This year's team looks a lot more like the team that showed up the day after this game. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19478]

And that was about the last time we played well for the next three weeks.

My god those OPS numbers

[clapclapclap 9000]

For those (like me) who missed the 'brawl':

Dustin Garneau you don't

[UTexasFight 9819]

Can someone explain the business side of offering extensions to (virtually) the entire coaching staff a week in to a season?

not saying I’m second guessing it, but just trying to understand why then.

[DaysOff 8222]

It'd be cool if y'all swept these motherfuckers

[tx 3 putt 78763]

Sweep would be good 

[henrygandorf 29229]

laureano lol.

“I regret charging him because he’s a loser. [A suspension] is understandable, but I hope it’s not that many games.

“At the end of the day, I’m here to win a World Series with the Oakland Athletics — this wonderful group of guys. I don’t want to be a distraction. Obviously, I am right now. Hey, I’ve already moved on. I’m facing Julio Teheran today, and that’s all I’m thinking right now.”

Thattaboy Carlos.  Way to beat the shift.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[WBT 20998]

Wooooooooooo!!  Catcher's interference

[WBT 20998]

Uncle Mike!  That will help when you're in a slump.

Webb reminds me of the West Pointer Lieutenant in Hostiles, with Christian Bale.

[elfenix 34782]

So this is what hitting looks like

[Tommy Nobis 905]

When does the LMJ meltdown happen? /ducks head

[clapclapclap 9000]

It's a nice evening, should they open the roof?

[TonyTexas 10786]

I find it interesting how quiet this board is when we’re playing a good game. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Machete!

[utxmike05 1833]

Jeezus second game a catcher drags a low ass pitch up into strike zone. Argue that shit,
Tucker.

Hard to type and fap at the same time 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Really enjoying listening to Jon Miller on the SF radio broadcast.

Edit:  And of course as soon as I post that they start one of the innings where the other guy does 95% of the talking.

Edit Edit:  C'mon, Bregs.

Blum thinks Andujar Cedeno was a pitcher

[clapclapclap 9000]

Tromp is making tags great again.

[tx 3 putt 78763]

Jon Miller and Joe Morgan was as good as it gets 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Tucker is fucking lost as usual. Cut bait now. Should have traded him away when his minor

league stock was sky high.

[WBT 20998]

Great start for LMJ.  Hopefully he can build on this one.

[Scraps 13812]

James is so trash

[Scraps 13812]

Fire that 98 in there son!

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Here we go again

[WBT 20998]

Leaving James in for a 2nd inning is just pressing your luck.

[tx 3 putt 78763]

Fucking James 

[Scraps 13812]

"Fastball missing its location"

That is every fastball he throws

[WBT 20998]

But to make up for it he can hardly ever get anything else over the plate.

[UTexasFight 9819]

James needs to start drinking whatever water Valdez found in the off-season.

[elfenix 34782]

Motherfuck

[WBT 20998]

So the guy that just homered last inning is up as the tying run.  Cool, cool.

[clapclapclap 9000]

IIRC the Giants have several big come from behind late wins this season.

[elfenix 34782]

Fuck this bullpen

[UTexasFight 9819]

We’re about to give up a HR aren’t we 

[elfenix 34782]

Astros win!

[Guadaloopy 11139]

Finally. 

[WBT 20998]

A win!  Never in doubt.  And as soon as it goes final in Arlington, we're back in 2nd place, boys.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Dusty baker was a dumbass for attempting a Josh James 2 inning outing.

[Planet Houston 4950]

[TonyTexas 10786]

Here are all of Tommy Nobis’ posts tonight. Such a bitch. Even Scraps sometimes points out good play when warranted.

The LMJ no hitter post was a joke. What other posts was I wrong about? Tucker sucks, we had a 6 run lead and gave up 4 late to almost choke, hence the here we go again post. And dusty without a doubt should have never brought James back out.

6-1 lead, james is out there to eat those innings
