[tx 3 putt 78470]

[Gourmand 7778]

Blum calling out this Dolis dude for taking a minute between every pitch

[Scraps 13745]

Yordan needs 1 more rbi for 100 in his career
it’s his 113th game
if he gets it by his 114th would be fastest to 100 in the expansion era (1962)
and 7th fastest all time

Got it

[tx 3 putt 78470]

congrats to Wade Miley !

[Scraps 13745]

Wade fucking Miley with a no hitter lmao

[Gourmand 7778]

Imagine being an Indians fan and having been no-hit twice in a month

[WBT 20884]

He has a WHIP of something like 0.77

 

[Guadaloopy 11129]

[Gourmand 7778]

I like Emanuel and would like to see him eased into some more high leverage situations.

[Gourmand 7778]

Leadoff double for the Rays to break up the no-hitter. Now win the game please.

[elfenix 34658]

astros win!

[Gourmand 7778]

Let's win this series tomorrow

[Scraps 13745]

Emanuel reminds me of Kent Mercker lookswise, which kinda gets me ragey

I feel like he only pitched against shit teams but he’s getting the job done this year

Miley's no hitter was a nail-biter like JV's last one because it was 0-0 until the top of the 9th when the Reds finally scored and took the lead.

I’m still a bit surprised a game that was 0-0 through 8 and Miley on the mound ended up taking 2:34

that screams a 2 hour game.

maybe it would have been but for that top of the 9th. That half inning took forever

Yordan’s first 162 game extrapolation is 47 HRs, 142 RBIs with a slash of .318/.403/.641

[UTexasFight 9788]

Then let’s make it  so

[Jshep34 2425]

Yea but all those numbers are being wasted in middle of line up.

I don't have a problem with him any more than i do Altuve or Belltran or whomever.

They were the only guys doing it...right?  LOlz.

 

It's all such a bad fucking joke of convenience.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Well, this sucks

It will be interesting to see how they handle that. Yordan is under team control until 2026. He’s a generational type hitter but is exclusively a DH and has questionable knees. Crane appears to shy away from the really long term contracts. I can see a Bregman type contract after next year, before he goes into arbitration.

He's in his age 24 season, what would you offer him? 8 year/200mm?

No way you have to go that high. He’s under club control for 4 years where the most he probably earns is $25-30M.  I’d say 6/$120M starting 2023 would be fair.

I realize that but I'd rather have him for his age 28-30 seasons at below market rate and not lose him in FA because I think he's irreplaceable. Pay him up front and lock him up long term. 

[Gourmand 7778]

Y'all need to keep hatin on Andre Scrubb

[HtownHorn 15243]

The bottom of the order is just a black hole right now. Way too much pressure on the Top 5 to do something.

And Raley

I can’t stand that freaking aggy

[billfromlaketravis 11784]

Don’t worry guys, Joe Smith is coming in. 

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

Oh God. Not as much as I hate Smith though

[henrygandorf 29221]

raley and his 9.49 era and leadoff walk in the t9 of a one-run game is just perfect.

[billfromlaketravis 11784]

Joe Smith hates the Astros more than Yankees fans.
