Brantley get a fucking hit god dammit

[Scraps 13,570]

Thats what i thought

[WBT 20,642]

professional hitter

[Scraps 13,570]

Nice throw Straw lmao

[HtownHorn 14,755]

Bregman must still be thinking about that shitty strike call. The Astros are playing at a pre-Kelly Leak Bad News Bears level right now.

[Scraps 13,570]

This game seems like it sucks

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Hey. Here’s an idea. Let’s score some fucking runs.

[Scraps 13,570]

There we go babayyyyy

[WBT 20,642]

Showrrea!

[Guadaloopy 10,988]

Finally

[Scraps 13,570]

Tucker is 2 for his last 20.

Woof

[Scraps 13,570]

Garcia don't do this shit bro

Get a ground ball

[Scraps 13,570]

That a babbbbayyy

[tx 3 putt 77,230]

very nice dp

[WBT 20,642]

Huge dp.  Garcia is doing a hell of a job.

[tx 3 putt 77,230]

garcia is done, pull him 

[WBT 20,642]

damnit

[cabowabo 4,492]

I’m done with Straw. 

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

I thought Straw was going to catch that. I miss Marisnick 

[Scraps 13,570]

I’m done with Straw. 

Took you long enough

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Not sure why we keep trotting out Abreu. Especially in a close game.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Straw sucks. Hey oh

[Scraps 13,570]

I’m done with Straw. 

Took you long enough

[DLev 12]

Jake sat out there as a free agent for half the offseason before Cubs signed him. It was such an obvious move. Straw is awful. he has no instincts as an outfielder.

Jbj wouldve caught that...but why sign a gold glove CF when you can have a fast white boy

Well at least he makes up for it by being a .200 hitter with very little power

[Scraps 13,570]

Kalas acting like it is a huge deal who the Rockies would have to bring in for Toro

Rockies:

He sucks from the right side.....he sucks from the left side.....yall rock paper scissors to see who goes in

(Hoping "talkin shit about Toro" works)

Just put in Yordan and let him hit it to Wyoming

[WBT 20,642]

That was hit at 113 mph and baseball savant had it at xBA of .950.  So you can't say that one should have been caught but yeah I would take Jake or JBJ as having a better chance.

Inexcusable to ph Toro there instead of Yordan.

Bill Brown filling in for Sparks on the radio if you prefer

Damn toro showing off the power

Baseball Savant had like a .900 xBA for the one he fucked up last game, but they said on the TV broadcast that another MLB research tool at it at a 95% catch probability because it hung up so long. So who knows, but your point is well taken. That said, I could see with my own eyes that he had no clue which direction to go off the bat and that’s why he didn’t get there.

[WBT 20,642]

Someone woke up Kalas during the break.  He came back actually questioning the decision and pointing out that there's no guarantee we get to the pitcher's spot again.

True.  He gets terrible jumps.  Which is why he is fast as fuck and still not a good outfielder.

[UTexasFight 9,516]

This “bullpen”

[tx 3 putt 77,230]

straw has zero instincts in cf

Oh, and he takes bad routes too

[Chuckie Finster 22,702]

An offense that can't hit combined with a bullpen that blows combined with starting pitching that is lucky to get 5 is a hell of a combo.

[Scraps 13,570]

Oh, and he takes bad routes too

At least his throws back to the IF are A+


Oh wait

[Scraps 13,570]

RALEY TIME BITCHES!!!!

Joe Smith warming?

Welp see yall tomorrow

[WBT 20,642]

Sweet, the Joe Smith experience at altitude

[cabowabo 4,492]

Joe, take your pussy COVID scared ass the fuck out of here and back to your hot ass wife.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Someone said it in here perfectly last week. The first week of the season was the anomaly.

[Guadaloopy 10,988]

[Scraps 13,570]

Smith should do us a favor and retire since we arent going to release him

[David Dennison 18,940]

Do they keep track of meaningless hits when it comes time to negotiate contracts?

[Rimbo 26,018]

[David Dennison 18,940]

Furk.
