MiLb is all about eating, drinking beer, and walking around the stadium and then watching the game in between

[Beau Vine 55824]

ESPN -- This is worse than listening to Blum talking about analytics.

fucking christ

now we’re left with an .092 hitter at the plate with no one on after a 4 pitch walk to start the inning 

[HtownHorn 15243]

Straw is a fundamentally unsound baseball player. How can you fucking not know how to slide?

[cabowabo 4645]

Can we please put Castro in?

Good thing we signed him to a longer contract. It's not like we have anybody else we need to sign. 

[Wulaw Horn 19560]

Fucking atrocious slide there Myles. Should have had that base stolen by 3 feet. 

[Mo Horn 8933]

Tuve has turned ice cold after having a good start to the season. 

[HtownHorn 15243]

Altuve is completely lost at the plate right now. He needs to be moved down in the order. 2 for his last 27. Batting average down from .347 to .250

[Mo Horn 8933]

I absolutley hate how Dusty manages pitchers. 4 innings and 84 innings and he pulls Zach. We're gonna have nothing but dead arms in the pen by the end of the season.

It’s not like grienke had retired 11 of his last 13

 

Oh wait

[UTexasFight 9788]

But that said, I like Bielak here  to give 3-4 solid innings 

don’t prove me wrong.

it's that third time through the lineup thing

[UTexasFight 9788]

Holy shit

117 mph by Stanton?!

[Scraps 13745]

Yeah or aka using your head

Dusty runs pitchers into the ground
Dusty pulls pitchers too early
Blah blah blah

Hey I don't disagree it's just an undeniable trend in baseball analytics these days and I'd bet that this is more a function of the front office ethos than Dusty's call. The guy was pilloried for years for running his starters into the ground and now he's a dumbass for always going to the pen early. 

 

Edit: sorry I misread your post, agree. now I gotta go open another cold one.

Astros are middle of the pack in average IP by starters at 5.2. Dodgers lead at 6.0. And they’re #9 in pitches per start at 87

Espn telecast watching a chick blow up an inflatable trash can for 6 pitches

[Chuckie Finster 22978]

Ump picking a really annoying time to shrink his zone.

[cabowabo 4645]

Why the hell was Bregman playing on the grass there?

[Guest]

This ump truly is fucking blind.

Fuck this ump. 

[Scraps 13745]

Ok Dusty needs to go get tossed. Fuck this ump

[elfenix 34658]

ford and sparky asking where that pitch was

[runthebone 8322]

Walked a .164 hitter on 4 straight.  Deserve whatever comes next if it's bad. 

 

Shitty ump or not.

goddamnit

[clapclapclap 9000]

Bregman just killed half the stadium.

 

[Mo Horn 8933]

I'm about as traditional as they come when it comes to baseball, but it's time for automated balls and strikes. 

[WBT 20884]

Damn that looks like another concussion

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Bregman needs to eat that next time and just let them have 1 run instead of 3.

[UTexasFight 9788]

Fuck odor

 

at least castro will finally get some starts.

 

sorry, I’m pissed 

[Scraps 13745]

I wish odor wouldve taken out the ump in this whole process

[WBT 20884]

Also should have been an out at the plate.  Machete's trend of turning into Gary Sanchez continues.

[cabowabo 4645]

Maldonado can't even cetch the ball now.
