Obligatory fuck you, bullpen.

[Guadaloopy 10,918]

I guess it’s better than a leadoff walk?

[Guadaloopy 10,918]

Stick to the LMJ method for closing.  Curves until your arm falls off.

Once again, we think Greinke's arm will fall off if he throws a pitch in the 9th.  Let's see how it pays off.

It’s so ridiculous. He’s a 37 year old man. He knows how to pace himself. 

[Guadaloopy 10,918]

That’s a defeated man on the mound.  Terrible body language. 

[Gourmand 7,774]

IS THIS REAL LIFE?

[WBT 20,415]

3 runs and 1 out.  I don't like this ratio.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

This is unbelievable

[Guadaloopy 10,918]

No more fastballs, Scrubb!

[Rimbo 25,772]

[Rip76 4,913]

You can’t make this up.

Going to be gut wrenching watching the bullpen blow this lead as well.

Fuck me

[Gourmand 7,774]

I'm tired of watching these fucking dickbags corkscrew their bodies into the batter's box while they do their best Pujols 2005 impressions.

[Rimbo 25,772]

hey at least with 2 guys on base there's more than one place to get an out, amirite? RIGHT GUYS???

 

 

 

assuming scrubb ever throws a pitch that is neither a ball nor batting practice OH THERE'S A STRIKE

[WBT 20,415]

Never in doubt.

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

A 6 run lead in the 9th inning should still be considered a save situation with our bullpen 

[Guadaloopy 10,918]

Great not getting swept  !!!!

HOLY SHIT

HOLY SHIT

STORM THE FIELD

[CycleTex87 2,953]

Astros win

[Gourmand 7,774]

anyone spare a wet wipe?

 

[WBT 20,415]

9 BBs/9 and a 27.00 ERA for the bullpen today.  Progress!

[elfenix 34,171]

Go fuck yourself San Diego

[Wulaw Horn 18,971]

That was not the least bit amusing to end the game that way. Ducking Scrub, living up to his name. 

[Rip76 4,913]

We could’ve swept the series.

Should have. Grrrrrrrr. 

[WBT 20,415]

A's lost.  1.5 back.  It still feels like we should easily be the favorites to win the division but our pitching needs to get healthier and better.

[Scraps 13,540]

Day/Night doubleheader

[Gourmand 7,774]

I don't know if I'll get over Crane moving the AAA team from Round Rock.

[Scraps 13,540]

Ronnie Dawson just jacked a grand slam

[Gourmand 7,774]

Astros and As tied in the loss column

[Gourmand 7,774]

Ronnie Dawson just jacked a grand slam

Fuck yeah

I am a big fan of that guy and hope he gets a chance at the next level to prove himself as a Tony Kemp type

[Scraps 13,540]

They fucked Pudges kid up pretty good. Rockies have a few familiar faces on their AAA team....Greg Bird, Rodriguez, Taylor Motter

[Scraps 13,540]

Almost saw a no hitter

[kevwun 15,620]

Went to the hooks game last night.  They were giving away Bregman bobble heads and it was dollar hotdog night.  Food lines were ridiculous and whataburger ran out of food.  Great night despite all that. Pedro Leon has a long way to go.  He’s currently under the Mendoza line

Edited May 31, 2021 by kevwun

[Gourmand 7,774]

33 Ks in 75 ABs.

He's a long way away.

[kevwun 15,620]

He was also in cf last night.  Maybe that experiment is over.

Did you see Bermudez pitch?  He's been killing AA this season and I wouldn't be surprised if the Astros give him a shot before the trade deadline if he keeps it up.

The Skeeters have been pretty dominant.  I went Saturday and Solomon dominated.

Yeah I imagine the Dawson, Meyers, and Siri outfield is pretty entertaining.

Astros cool fan points go way up, haha...Suck it Rangers. He may have been from Fort Worth, but his baseball soul was orange. 

[TonyTexas 10,481]

Haven’t seen who went down for Urquidy. Anyone know?

[kevwun 15,620]

Bermudez and France combined for a 4 hit shutout.  He doesn’t throw very hard.  I don’t think he hit 90 all night and sat around 85 and lower I would say.  Hard to get a feel for his stuff because we were sitting by 3rd base.  France was better last night I would say, but it’s just one game.

Dawson is currently striking out less than 16% of his PAs. In 2019 he was around 30%, mostly in AA. He's not even at 100 PAs yet, so it is obviously early, but may be interesting to watch. I *think* K% tends to stabilize fairly quickly in the course of a season. His swinging strike % is way down so far. If this is a real improvement, he has a shot. 

[Gourmand 7,774]

I'm sure it will be Garza and Nivaldo Rodriguez. Or Paredes, he needs to figure it out against AAA hitters.

Edit: it's Scrubb and Garza
