Pulling Pressly feels a little too cute

[Guadaloopy 10926]

Canha’s such a bitch. 

[Scraps 13542]

Not a save opp

Was when he entered the game.

I am good with saving him and not using him the 9th, but not sure who we go to if scrubb starts to fuck this up

It was when he came in so he would have gotten a save.  Not a save opp for Scrubb.

[Scraps 13542]

[WBT 20422]

I know that.  Doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve one. Save parameters should change.  He deserves some kind of statistical acknowledgment for what he did there.  Clutch.

I stand corrected 

[HtownHorn 14488]

Hilarious that Scrubb also bounced the throw to Altuve.

[cabowabo 4453]

I don't know what the rule is, but I doubt that is correct. Don't think they would take an easy save away from him.

actually, I was wrong, 55 would have gotten a save had he finished the game.

[WBT 20422]

well that was a bomb

[Scraps 13542]

Some of yall need to watch those lame ass rules of the game broadcasts

WBT, How does it feel to make such a similar post as cabowabo? I know I’d feel bad. 

[WBT 20422]

It's a lot to think about

The rule is if you aren't the pitcher of record you get a hold if the score is 1-3 runs. If you finish the game you get a save. Since Pressly entered the game with the score within 3 runs, he will get a hold, if he had finished the game he would have also gotten the save. Since the score was greater than 3 runs, Scrubb will get a GF.

If you give up the lead as a reliever then you get a BS, no matter what inning it occurs as long as you are not the pitcher of record.

[WBT 20422]

First place boys.  Keep winning series...should have been a sweep though.

[Guest]

Fuck you Laureano.

Fuck you Oakland.

[Gourmand 7774]

first place mfers!!

[cabowabo 4453]

So I'm wrong on the rules there. Dusty needs to let him get a save there. Whatever. Fuck the A's.

[Scraps 13542]

No one gives a shit about the stat....its.about being able to use him tomorrow to finish off the no hitter of the Rangers

[DaysOff 7853]

Should've swept these fuck knobs.

[Gourmand 7774]

yeah I am still chapped about that fucker DeJesus behind the plate Tues night because I'm convinced he fucked Stanek and Abreu into giving up those runs

well you can't get a hold and a save, if that's what you meant.  he'll get a hold since he didn't finish the game.  scrubb will get nothing and like it.

very proud of this team.  we're 9-2 in our last 11 and those 2 were backbreakers that might've caused a hangover loss or two in the past.  this team gives no fucks.

we're 26-18 including a 1-9 stretch where we got swept by 2 of the worst teams in mlb.  crazy sport.  diff of +66.

let's fucking go.

I love winning!!

[Scraps 13542]

They probably really should be like 35-9

[henrygandorf 29177]

also what a great way to end the series, a called 3rd strike on a borderline 3-2 pitch after 27 innings of bitching and moaning from the a's about the strike zone, followed by an ejection of bob melvin.  lulzzzzz.

Imagine how awesome this lineup will be once Correa gets his .764 OPS up to his career average of .829.

Man, it really fucking stinks that Verlander isn't here for all of this. This 2021 team is fun to watch.

[TonyTexas 10482]

[Gourmand 7774]

And how many games did Manfred chop block the Astros when four every day starters and our utility guy got sidelined for covid? The fact we played those games was a goddamn outrage when you consider the double standard they would have applied had it been any other team but the Astros.

The fact that it was Laureano makes it even better. 

[Gourmand 7774]

At 26-18 the 2021 Astros are three wins shy of equaling their 2020 regular season win total. Through 44 games last year the Astros were 22-22 with 16 games remaining. They went 7-9 during that stretch to finish 29-31.

But hey, those crybaby boo birds with their inflatable fuck toys have really shown the Astros who's boss!

Padres just had a big COVID roster impact as well and had to keep playing.  It is strange that different standards seem to apply to different teams, though.
