Fucking Benintendi

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Oh now you want to pitch. Idiot.

It would be so dusty to pitch him in a loss 

Like the loss Monday when Graveman and Pressly fucked the game up?

Cmon man. Nobody bitched about that because it was the right move. Nobody here is unreasonable or engaged in 20/20 hindsight. 

[WBT 20418]

Uncle Mike!!

[Gourmand 7774]

Big time hit from a pro hitter!

[Mo Horn 8807]

Professional (pinch) hitter

Be nice if Altuve could stop getting under everything and hitting easy pops to LF.

Trying too hard...

but it's worked so many times in the past.

Brantley's image in Dusty's head...

[WBT 20418]

Let's walk it off

Damn, Meyers is so fast. LF didn't even think about making a throw.

Didn't stop Benintendi from hosing McCormick last week.

[David Dennison 18655]

Womp womp.

[cabowabo 4452]

No reason Pressly should not be brought out for another inning here.  

[Chuckie Finster 22599]

Can't use Graveman in the 10th if you don't use Javier in the 7th. 

[Gourmand 7774]

walk this mofo

[cabowabo 4452]

Great play there.

Not sure if rage +1 emoji or if ha ha emoji.

Graveman with the Blue Star.

[Scraps 13542]

Lets see how we can fuck this up

[Storm the Field 5271]

Attaboy Tuck. Now someone put the damn ball in play.

[Chuckie Finster 22599]

Royals so dumb.  Should have walked him.

[HoustonFrog 368]

Two chances to bunt here

[cabowabo 4452]

T

[Scraps 13542]

Way to get that out at 1st lulz

[Storm the Field 5271]

I'll take it. 

[elfenix 34171]

60 foot walk off

[HoustonFrog 368]

Just about the worst place to hit it, but it worked!

[HtownHorn 14485]

Lulz at the pitcher completing the out at 1b.

[Gourmand 7774]

wooooooo!!!

DUSTY BAKER BITCHEZZZZZZZ

 

[tx 3 putt 76348]

Good job Jake !

[David Dennison 18655]

Whew.

that was so dumb that for a split second I thought there was some obscure rule I wasn't aware of to keep the runner from scoring

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

This game was extremely irritating and awful and then incredibly gratifying. Hopefully this is a spark that ends our August malaise and gets us on a hot streak. 

[Ojo Rojo 1895]

Not a fan of Breg's black cleats.

The Yin to Sunday's Yang. 

 

[Gourmand 7774]

good decision by Lopez to hold Bregman because he would've been out by five feet.

 Probably in a minor panic from ball bouncing off him, just revert to auto-pilot mode.

[tx 3 putt 76348]

This team was very hot. Let’s move on to Arlington

Very close. But we did have control of this game before fucking it up when the M’s didn’t. But yeah, pretty much 180 degrees apart emotionally.

Dusty creates unnecessary drama with his dubious decisions.

Like PH with Brantley? Or keeping Graveman/Pressly in his pocket for the end of the game?

More speaking of how in both games we managed to hold visiting team scoreless in the 10th and then get multiple men on with no outs. This time we put the ball in play.

If they supported his quads I might give them a pass...

[Gourmand 7774]

The Dusty shit is tired. He gave Lance a chance to get out of that inning when he was at 100+ pitches and McCullers unfortunately walked both the 8 and 9 hitters. Javier can get one out, he has the stuff. He just grooved one first and then got the out.

After we win the World Series, you can count me as on board the Dusty train.

[Gourmand 7774]

I think we can all agree on this: Watching Jake Meyers ball out is more exciting than Myles Straw.
