Fuck

[WBT 20,884]

wtf was that?

[tx 3 putt 78,470]

fuck me

[Scraps 13,745]

No, they were both players at the time.  Loved Dierker...
ASTROS rally  !!!

Yes old man seizure jokes are frowned upon

My bad

[UTexasFight 9,788]

The machete black hole turning the lineup over to the Altuve black hole is quite disconcerting 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Tuve has been terribad all post season outside of a solo homer in Boston.

[Telegraph_it 3,376]

The bats aren’t dead. We just don’t have that 2 out mojo. Fuck that was terrible Altuve.

Well, when you swing at the first pitch and it’s a foot inside. That’s what that was 

[elfenix 34,658]

Altuve trending toward the Maldonado line not bueno

[Wulaw Horn 19,560]

Such a ducking dumb decision. Defense blah blah blah. That was quite possibly going to be the best chance to get back in the game. I don’t give a fuck about catcher defense down four with an auto out at the plate. Have to pinch hit there. Have to.

Yep. Absolutely terrible

[cabowabo 4,645]

Gonna be even worse with Machete in Atlanta. That’s 2 automatic outs in the lineup. 

[utxmike05 1,833]

Gah damnit Tuve. Get your head out of your ass. The team goes as you do. 

[UTexasFight 9,788]

Broken fibula 

[cabowabo 4,645]

Damn, terrible for CFM.

This is also true. Jose could have made that bad decision moot. But he’s completely inside his own fucking head. 
wow- fracture for uncle Charlie. 

[Mo Horn 8,933]

Sucks for CFM

[TexArcher 38,816]

Ohhhhhh shit, Charlies out for the Series.

Hate that shit for him, but it sure helps us.

Ugh.

[StruggleBus 3,922]

CFM out there pitching with a fractured leg is fuckin beast mode though

Or the 2R HR that saved ALCS G1.  You are such a beating.

Unless the Braves make him the cause to rally around/for.  Kinda like win one for the Gipper.

I wish that had been a hit instead. 

[Wulaw Horn 19,560]

I wonder if not pinch hitting there had anything to do with not having a 3rd catcher for case of emergency and wanting to save Castro for any PH against a right handed later. 

[Guadaloopy 11,129]

That sucks hard about CFM.  

[Wishbone 4,924]

Lulz

McCullers should consult with him.  I’ll show my way out now.

Yeah- if you are going to hit 125 in a series and be just awful at times those 2 HR go a long fucking way to making everything ok.

Damn. Sucks for Charlie.

Good grief, people.  You don’t PH for your pitcher whisperer in the 4th inning when both teams are in their bullpen.

I’ll get over it quick. Atlanta fans aren’t sending cards to Verlander or LMJ. 

[cabowabo 4,645]

Altuve fills me with confidence every time he is shown on camera. 

[perfectchaos007 6,766]

CFM was probably going to make 3 starts if the series went 7

[UTexasFight 9,788]

Odorizzi brought his nuts tonight. As big as his whiny mouth 

[David Dennison 19,441]

It's silly season.

[TexArcher 38,816]

Fuck it, ride Odorizzi for another 2 or 3 innings.

[LTtxfan 49,909]

Braves can add another pitcher to their roster due to CM injury right ??

[perfectchaos007 6,766]

Maldonado framed a couple good pitches there for us. Lets get some runs

[Wishbone 4,924]

Ok, time to open it up. Let’s get some back.

Only if you have 3 catchers. Way too early. Castro comes in and gets hurt a d we are super fucked

That was my follow up post. And why I was arguing so strongly for Stubbs. Not that I wanted him in there but as insurance so you can get aggro with PH for Machete early.

Can we use a robo catcher?

You’re a fucking beating. You want to leave in you starter that has nothing and let the game get of out of hand. Then you want to leave in your worst hitter in what might be your best chance to narrow the lead. Because he’s the “pitcher whisperer.” The fuck out of here.

[patrickdrinksbeer 810]

how many times a season does a catcher leave a game for injury? you can’t fucking worry about that

[Scraps 13,745]

Damn some of you are dumber than I originally thought

It’s not just that- he’s also your best PH against right handers and you’d think we get a righty somewhere down the line here. But that’s why you roster 3 catchers for this very reason. 

[Wishbone 4,924]

One thing about it, this plate ump calls the high strike. He’s been consistent on that.
