  Nice escape from 1st and 2nd and no outs

[Guest]

Beautiful artistry from the mound by Javier.   Damn...

[Gourmand 7,774]

Javier throws quality pitch after quality pitch. HPU squeezed him at least five or six times earlier and he never gave in and threw a ball over the heart of the plate. He's challenging hitters AND the ump.

If Javier is Van Gogh or DaVinci tonight, the bullpen's gonna be a drunk guy with one hand on an Etch-a-Sketch.

And first up is James

 

damn you 

[WBT 20,565]

Why is James still pitching in 2-run games?  Starts with a K at least.

[WBT 20,565]

Alright, James escapes

[tx 3 putt 76,947]

James needs to find his way and be a weapon 

[tx 3 putt 76,947]

Fucking raley 

[WBT 20,565]

fucking aggy

[WBT 20,565]

I'd rather go with Enoli/Taylor than James/Raley in a close game.  Need some insurance here for Pressly.

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Sexually active Aggy

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Just do your job, Pressly.  1 inning.

[Scraps 13,561]

[Scraps 13,561]

Giants just blew a 3 run lead in the 9th.  Walked the tying run and then gave up a 3 run homer to Canha.  The A's are starting to piss me off.

Goddamn it, two nights in a row. Last night was a five run lead, tonight it was three.

Jesus Christ the A’s are ridiculous in the 9th. Three grannies and a three-run bomb already this season in the ninth or later?!?

Use em up Dumbo bitches...

Hopefully Verlander gets healthy in time to pitch against his former team!

Altuve still hitting 7th today.

Rabbit hole got me good this morning.

Game 163, 1980.

so much amazing-ness in the first 10 minutes.

Al Michaels, Bob Uecker on the call.

Dusty Baker in LF for the Dodgers “some day the most valuable Dodger this year”.

Al commenting this game, with so much on the line, will take a while. “We’ll likely see this game go 3 hours.”

2 pitch outs the first time a guy gets on base.

Astros getting out to a fast start in the first  thanks to Dodger miscues, eerily similar to a winner-take-all game 27 years later (albeit all small ball. Only one ball out of the infield)

He looked pretty good on a 1st to 3rd run last night. 

[Scraps 13,561]

When he ran to 1st on a ground out after that i could tell a slight limp it looked like

[Guest]

let him bat and Straw starts from outside the right handed batter's box and runs for him.

 

Seems fair to me...

[Guest]

Dylan Moore...you've been chopped.

[Scraps 13,561]

This dumbfuck keeps trying run on machete

[WBT 20,565]

Wow, great pick and throw by machete.  Good tag by Altuve too.

[Scraps 13,561]

Well that low ass strike call is gonna be todays pain in the ass

[Guest]

Does it irk anyone else when Altuve takes a pitch, he watches it all the way the way into the umps eyes.

You're one of the best hitters to ever play the game.  Trust your own eye and make the ump call the pitch, not your reaction.

[Planet Houston 4,930]

Goddamn Kyle Tucker sucks ass. 

[Guest]

good job George!!!

Good hustle Toro, pays off in a run.

Great hit by Machete.

[Scraps 13,561]

Nice 2 out rally here

[Planet Houston 4,930]

Springer does not 🤘
