He also tweeted about Altuve’s knee looking just fine running the bases. Not a word about Degrom. He’s devolved into complete hack at this point.

Fuck the world

Olney has had a hardon for the Astros pretty much since Crane/Lunhow took over. 

He constantly bitched about how they "were trying to lose" in '12-'13, and how terrible that was for the game. 

Anytime service-time manipulation is mentioned, he uses the Springer example - never fails. (He never acknowledges that, given the circumstances, it would have been professional negligence to trade full-season 2020 Springer for a few weeks of rookie Springer in 2014 on a team with no chance of contending - never.) Everyone did this. Everyone. 

Look, I don't mind criticism about Osuna or the douchebag front-office guy that yelled at the reporter, or even the sign-stealing thing (although it is intellectually dishonest for writers to pretend that it was as big a deal as they've made out to be). But when he's been whining about the org every chance he gets for nearly a decade, and then he feels the need to complain about guys who say "fuck you" to the All-Star game - in part due to a situation in which he himself is somewhat complicit in creating - yeah, he just comes off as having an axe to grind. 

I'd have more respect for him if he just came out and admitted that he doesn't like the org and the people who run it, and by extension, the players in it. Instead he has been passive-aggressive about it for 9 years. 

[Scraps 13545]

Guess who else won't be going to the game.....Mookie

Lets all wait for the outcry


(Spoiler: we will still be waiting for it in 2050)

[Gourmand 7774]

[elguapo 4583]

Olney is such a fucking shit hack.

Ken Rosenthal can suck a fat dick

[cabowabo 4453]

Nobody gives a fuck about the all star game. I’ll bet that 9 out of 10 players selected would rather have the four days off sitting on their asses at home than play in a meaningless game.

Our PR department is killing it.

[cabowabo 4453]

And let’s not forgot how big a bitch Cole was after we lost game 7 of the WS. Fuck him and fuck the Yankees. 

[Scraps 13545]

Robel baby lmao

[Scraps 13545]

And let’s not forgot how big a bitch Cole was after we lost game 7 of the WS. Fuck him and fuck the Yankees. 

He was booed when they announced him as SP....he is such a mental midget I wouldn't be shocked if he implodes now lol

[Rip76 4914]

Base hits please.

[Scraps 13545]

Or we can just not make Cole work

Altuve and Brantley gotta snap outta their funk

[Guest]

Ump wanted to call it.

Yuli fought off multiple pitches out of the strikezone and  he gets fucked on a strike called on a pitch outside the zone.

 

Fix it, baseball.  For crisesakes.

[Scraps 13545]

The matchup we all came for....Yordan v Cole

[Scraps 13545]

Chased strike 2 womp womp

[Scraps 13545]

So we still look like shit offensively....cool

[dr99 551]

Cole must have found a new place to hide the spider tack

Cole was right.  He should have been in the game.

That being said, fuck the Yankees, and he is one.

[Guadaloopy 10927]

OMG!!!1! Did you see Judge adjust his buzzer as he rounded second?!

[dr99 551]

Cole keeps rubbing his ankle

While wearing a non astros hat cause he was a free agent after the last out.

Didn’t know an article of clothing could completely shift my opinion of an athlete, but that hat did it.

[Guadaloopy 10927]

Umpires need to check the pitching coach for spider tack.  

[Rip76 4914]

Ugh

[Honeysucklerose 960]

This offense is pissing me off right now

[David Dennison 18662]

Watching without sound. Why is Javier in there?

[Guest]

fuck this commentary.  It's all fucking bullshit.

 

Poor gotdam Yankees.  So disadvantaged.  Give me a fucking break. They all have a boil on their asses the size of Gardner's melon.  

Such a fucking beating.  How will the downtrodden Bronxies ever recover?

They’ve been talking about cheating for five minutes. 

[henrygandorf 29179]

god why do we have such a hard time against shitty teams?

[Honeysucklerose 960]

Be thankful

[Rip76 4914]

Now.  Hit away

[henrygandorf 29179]

straw’s eye had gotten really good. before that pitch. 

[Bender Bending Rodriguez 1669]

This sucks. 

[Honeysucklerose 960]

Well, we know Cole is an elite pitcher. So no surprise, but man the offense is in a slump. Yordan watching those pitches in the 7th was criminal.

[Bender Bending Rodriguez 1669]

Yuli has two extra base hits in his past 105 at bats. Both doubles.

2020 Yuli is back

[Guadaloopy 10927]

Wow.  GIDP on a 3-0 pitch.  Got lucky Stanek. 

[Wulaw Horn 18984]

Seriously, what the fuck was wrong with Greinke? 
also it’s not like this wasn’t predicted last night. 
also- fuck this ump. That’s a ball. 

[Guest]

every close pitch goes Cole's way.

Zero pressure on him tonight.

Most of it is his own doing.  Couple of calls are WTF, though.
