"With each passing day, each line drive to left, each six-run game, it becomes harder to assign the performance of those teams to their cheating. The Astros’ numbers can’t just be a product of TV monitors and trash cans, not when in the absence of those they’re even better."

Which was lunhow’s point and the only thing that rang true to me- they did a study and it wasn’t particularly helpful which is what hey stopped half way through 18.

They should do a study of why Angel Hernandez's strike zone sucks so much.

That would be the result if that occurred 

[UTexasFight 9,533]

Maybe it’s because I’ve been following him since Corpus, but I swear Urquidy is a ~5 year veteran…and then realize he’s 9-5 in his career with 25 starts.

 

of course that doesn’t include 8 postseason appearances and 4 starts in October, which is pretty impressive considering he hasn’t even hit the 2 year anniversary of his MLB debut

All of the above losing George and replacing with Myles and Chas…and we have an everyday catcher hitting .167

[tx 3 putt 77,458]

Dow’s machete finish over .200 ?

Rest of the league: maybe it wasn’t the height of their cheating…

 

 

Go Astros.  Pour it the fuck on.

[Pimphand 5,908]

[Guadaloopy 11,014]

Do these Astros go to 11?

[UTexasFight 9,533]

It’s going to be so so so sweet finishing off a sweep for another ring in Dodger Stadium in late october

Especially when we hang the game 4 L on Bauer.

 

[Scraps 13,581]

Lol at the Dodgers making WS

[tx 3 putt 77,458]

Keep cruising along and wreck shop. Get our guys healthy

Not surprising and well deserved. A cursory glance tells me he hasn’t had a game day off since May 14.

Who gets the day off today in the Baker Bingo lineup?

Altuve hasn't had a day off since May 14th. Is today the day? If so, would you put Correa in the leadoff spot?

I still think I'd rather Correa hit leadoff

You don't like our 3rd lowest ops in the lineup getting the most PA?

[WBT 20,670]

5 pitch 1st.  Cool cool.

As someone who has not watched a single Tigers game outside of those against the Astros, I can only assume this Baddoo dude is the second coming of Pete Rose.
