[Wulaw Horn 18984]

Pull ourselves together. Worst that can happen is we go down 1-0. Life will go on.

He had a shitty everything tonight.

 

Haha well yea. 

[Gut Wagon 8053]

I was in a restaurant the last time I saw this many meatballs served up. 

[oh_snap 694]

Good news is Framber will be fresh for Saturday night. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5036]

Imagine how demoralized Hotlanta will be when we come back and win this game.

[utxmike05 1825]

See. Should have pulled him earlier.  I get that it was early and positive people wana be like “oh we got this it’s early give him a chance”.   You could see this coming w Valdez not going to be able to right the ship.  Have you not seen how we play when getting beat early at home? Gross. Cmon boys

[UTexasFight 9381]

We’re goi g to win this game

unless we don’t

 

 

actually, yeah. Don’t change the approach and keep working counts. If we do, we’ll get back in this. If we start hunting the first strike, ballgame 

[Smax 3800]

And we know atl will take 1 home game so this means we win it in Houston

[cabowabo 4453]

Odorizzi?  Might as well just throw a position player.

It was clear early that he had nothing in the first inning 

[Brisketexan 104653]

Well….I mean….I’ve seen BETTER starts….

Unfortunately yes. I didn’t want to believe it though.

It's also clear that he was never going to get pulled at 3-0 in game 1.

The fuck you talking about?

[TexArcher 37531]

I might be crazy, but I feel like if we can hold them to just 2 the rest of the way, we can still win this game.

[At Ease 44]

How was it clear?  If he finds his release it's a different game.  His stuff didn't look bad, just his command.

[Guadaloopy 10927]

Still would be nice to win a WS Game 1 someday, but I prefer winning Game 7.

This part.

We better get to Morton quick because if he goes 6/7 no way we win.

Yeah. That’s the pet that looked bad.

Yup. Gotta find the bats fsho.  They were all over Valdez hoping bullpen stuns them. 

[TexArcher 37531]

Just now, Tommy Nobis said:

Agreed, but he's looked shaky and he's already pushing up near 40 pitches after 2.  Hell, Machete hit a rope, it was just right at somebody.  Top of the lineup coming has to get at least a couple runs back and they might even be able to chase him in the 3rd or 4th.

Yup, feel the same, get 2-3 a couple times and we’re good

Command is pretty important against

hot team in WS. 

[UTexasFight 9381]

Yimi should starts.

 

 

[UTexasFight 9381]

the last time in a World Series a starter did what Framber just did, his team came back and won…. And it was against Dusty’s Giants 

[cabowabo 4453]

Is there any reason why Yimi can’t go more than 1 inning?

[patrickdrinksbeer 788]

Ldogg sighting! (not that those are rare)

[Wishbone 4739]

Yumpin’ Yimini!

Because we about to put up a crooked number and he’s gonna get cold

[Gourmand 7774]

lot of game left. 

just battle one AB at a time.

[runthebone 7932]

Well, we were down 4-0 to Kershaw.

[Telegraph_it 3354]

Fuck this tik tok commercial. I’m mad I know what it’s about. 

[Dnaguy 11777]

In the wild card era, the team that wins game 1 has one the WS 80% of the time.

21/26 or something like that.

We better pull a rabbit out of our hat and win this fucking ballgame.

[UTexasFight 9381]

Whoa 

[WBT 20425]

Charlie pull up lame?

[David Dennison 18661]

I mean, if you're just gonna look at strike three, it's gonna be a long night.

Didn't we lose Game 1 in 2017?

[Scraps 13543]

Ruh roh

[cabowabo 4453]

Nice coverage of the injury Fox. 

[WBT 20425]

Just now, TexArcher said:

That was one of the five.

When we lose Game 1 it works every time 50% of the time

[TexArcher 37531]

Ohhhh, shit.  I hate that for CFM, but if that's a hammy, he's done for the Series, no??

🤔

[cabowabo 4453]

Achilles?

[StruggleBus 3922]

Well here’s your chance to get back in it 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Yes we did lol

[Wishbone 4739]

Ok, and now for something completely different. Bash this aggy.

[Telegraph_it 3354]

I don’t like Altuve playing so poorly. 

[Sleepygrad 1029]

Hate to see it, but Morton was on his shit and it was gonna be one of those outings for him. Good break for us.
