Pretty sure Puerto Rico is pulling for the Astros also.

I came here to ask the same question about the pearls and I approve of the answer.

I just smoke to keep my body fat at 14% or lower. I’m not a smoker though

Ok. Get 3 quick and head to the top of the order.

[HoustonFrog 368]

Missing big opportunity to push that pitch count up

[Mo Horn 8831]

Gonna let Fried hang around. Need to get into their pen and make them use some arms

[Dutchrudder 11134]

THIS CITY, IS MYYYYY CITYYY

AND I LOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEE IT!!

 

 

[Dutchrudder 11134]

worst. song. ever

 

[TexArcher 37767]

Not good to see d'Arnaud heating up near the bottom of that lineup.

C'mon, Jose.  Hold them down a little longer.

[Wishbone 4759]

There we go Urquidy. Shut this down before it gets started.

No idea. All I could find was down 85%. From when and what number I couldn’t tell. My guess would be something like 10% maybe 8%?  I think they were comparing to the mid 60’s but they didn’t explicitly say. 
it felt like a ton of people smoked in college/law school. Kids today aren’t smoking like they used to in college anymore and I guess more people are kicking the habit.

Pairs well with user name. 

[WBT 20561]

Should have been an inning ending dp

[Wishbone 4759]

Need to leave this guy stranded.

[TexArcher 37767]

Passed ball takes away a DP.  Shit.

[Mo Horn 8831]

And of course we got the double play ball after the wild pitch

[Wishbone 4759]

Fuck

[Gourmand 7774]

fuck goddamn it 

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

Maldonado cost us that run.

They vape now

[Js1 85280]

Fucking passed ball

[Wulaw Horn 19068]

So help me I wouldn’t mind seeing Maton in here for the next two hitters. 

[StruggleBus 3922]

That one is on Maldonado

He giveth and taketh away tonight

[cabowabo 4484]

Great job by Urquidy. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

Another one where holding the runner on saves our ass.

[elfenix 34223]

officially scored as a wild pitch :boggle:

[TexArcher 37767]

Attaboy, Yuli!

Let's go get that run back.  I want boring baseball in the late innings.

I thought they scored it a wild pitch, although I think it was a PB

50% anyway.  Net gain.

They actually scored it a wild pitch. 
Urquidy did one inning better for us than I wanted. Love it. 
time to pass the baton right now (not Javier- keep him for bridge in game 3 or 4). I’d go Stanek to Maton (mix them up to get Maton in on the tough left handers), Graveman, Presley. Not going to bitch too much if it’s Javier but would like to keep their eyes off him and him under wraps until game 3

Or score 5 runs here and run Urquidy back out. 

[UTexasFight 9429]

Damn

why are we pulling Urquidy?

Man I hope we don’t regret this. Even if Javier is nails.

 

would much rather have him ready behind Garcia or Grienke

yup

[WBT 20561]

Yeah I'd send Urquidy back out but I guess I don't hate pulling him.  They have had some hard contact off of him.

We need the top of the order to go ahead and knock Fried out to put more strain on their bullpen.  He's really settled in now.

[Gourmand 7774]

i don't like this nine straight outs thing

[TonyTexas 10508]

I think we can give Dusty the benefit of a doubt here. He has been pushing the right buttons in this postseason. 

[elfenix 34223]

not great at bats there

[perfectchaos007 6626]

Fried is probably going to pitch the 6th inning at this rate

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

Hit the fucking ball Bregman
