Cole/Grienke tomorrow

tasty

both guys with significantly reduced spin rates since June 15. 
should be fun

[Jshep34 2304]

Thunderdome indeed at mmp this weekend. Sold my tickets for that very reason. May go to a skeeters game instead. Sweep the over rated, over paid bums from NYC. Release the letter

Hopefully there will be some additional precipitation in the form of MFY fan tears

[TonyTexas 10482]

Damn. I hopes this ends with him and Raley. It’s never a good time but if it’s going to happen, now, right before the break, is as good a time as any. 

[Pimphand 5608]

I just would rather it have happened after the MFY series. 

[tx 3 putt 76422]

 

[tx 3 putt 76422]

fast forward to 6:44 

 

 

[tx 3 putt 76422]

you just knew that first ball was going to SS 

[Scraps 13544]

Lucky that Sanchez didn't hit that to Katy

[tx 3 putt 76422]

it takes 2 !!!!!!!!!!

[Gourmand 7774]

let's fuck them up in all their smallest, tightest, driest holes

[WBT 20426]

Bullshit

nm, he did tag him.  

Edited July 10, 2021 by WBT

[Gourmand 7774]

i mean, he did run out of the baseline though

[tx 3 putt 76422]

he tagged him, not outside the line 

[Scraps 13544]

Nestor? I barely know her

[Gourmand 7774]

Get some runs this inning and stuff these twats

[billfromlaketravis 11364]

Cortes was great in Blood In Blood Out. 

[Scraps 13544]

Pound this pussy already

[Sleepygrad 1029]

We’re just letting the suspense build

[Scraps 13544]

Castro not taking the HBP is a fail

[Scraps 13544]

Wtf are you doing Tucker? Jesus christ

[Wulaw Horn 18984]

Why the fuck did he throw to second. That should have hit the cutoff man and that’s a 1 run outcome. 
fuck. 

[Honeysucklerose 959]

Tucker isn't good out there

[VirginiaLonghorn 4750]

YES announcers LOL …

wouldn't have mattered, that second run was easily scoring

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Okay let’s get the bats going

Was it?  Didn’t even look like he was waving him.

yes i watched it again, would not have been close

That’s actually not true. I think all the defensive metrics have him as best or 2nd best RF in AL. He made a great play in the gap look easy to cut a ball earlier today and hold guys to first and second.

[Bender Bending Rodriguez 1669]

Lol.. yeah, these are the numbers through mid June. https://sabr.org/latest/sabr-defensive-index-rankings-released-through-june-13-2021/

Will take your word for it. I’m half watching. Still not fundamentally sound there. Hit the cutoff man on a line drive to the chest. Anything’s can happen and it’s not like he was going to make a play at second nor was the runner going to third. 

[Wulaw Horn 18984]

Fielding Bible has “astros RF” as 9 runs above average. Trailing only SF at 11 and Texas at 10

[Scraps 13544]

Lol you gotta take off your orange colored glasses sometimes man

At this point Tucker has the ball in his hand....Urshela isn't even to third

Nevin was set deep ready to jam up the stop sign and Tucker idiotically threw to 2nd

[Scraps 13544]

I think the problem is Tucker is drunk

That’s how it seemed to me. 

[Hornsbay22 463]

We have an astonishing way of making mediocre pitching look cy young caliber at times.

[WBT 20426]

The hook one out from qualifying for the W.  Thanks.

And thaaaaa whiff

[Sleepygrad 1029]

Altuve watching 90mph fastballs down the middle. Just swing homie

[Guadaloopy 10927]

I’m watching on a bar TV in the airport waiting on a flight to Austin. Any “Open the letter” chants audible on the broadcast?

[runthebone 7932]

Altuve under .280.  Itd be nice if he got hot and carried the offe'nse for a few weeks.
