At least he's only throwing 4 pitches on these walks.

Keeping the pitch count down. Smart.

[kevwun 15789]

He's so wild they can't hit him.

[Wulaw Horn 19070]

One of my favorite things in the world on a weekday is when I get to read this thread- everyone is talking like our pets heads are falling off and I log on to ESPN and we are down like 1-0 or 2-1.  

I'm sure it has looked ugly.  But goodness gracious sakes alive people- shake yourselves.  We are only down 1-0.  We can do this. 

[kevwun 15789]

I get that, but they were really lucky today.  Frambler could not hit the broad side of a barn.

[huge 3793]

walks are bad

 

[WBT 20572]

7 walks through 4.  It's like a UT game broke out.

[runthebone 7983]

7 walks allowed through 4, lucky to be down only 1-0.

No doubt we can, but we look terrible. You have to be watching to understand how crappy they are today

I get it. Really I do.  It's just funny to read that and see such a large disconnect with the score.  

This is sort of my fear with this team that we are a couple bats short.  It's so early and spring training was so funky it's way too early to say.  But even though we are 4-1 we've only really broken out in 1 game- the rest of it the offense has been pretty anemic.

Pitchers have an all time slash line (since integration) of 144/188/189.  Question- will Maldonado finish with a better or worse slash line than that this year?

[WBT 20572]

His OPS will be comfortably above .400.  I'm pretty sure.

[elfenix 34243]

damn

After a week of the season with nothing approaching a base hit, I’m taking the under.  

[HtownHorn 14683]

Fucking awful baserunning by Altuve.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

If Altuve tags on Bregman fly he scores on Tuckers fly.

Yep. Should have been on third for that Tucker fly out. 

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Lame. 

[Hank Chinaski 6315]

Christ. Twice they’ve had 2 on/0 out today and haven’t scored. That’s the kind of day today is.

Also, Altuve has always done dumb shit on the bases. Love him, but it’s true.

Absolutely

I disagree.  But whatever.

 

Kelly thought it was gone or at least xbh

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Disagree with all of those saying Altuve should have made it to 3rd.  Tagging from 2nd on a fly to left is not a given at all.  Unless it’s Adell out there, of course.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Let’s punch a run in here!

[cabowabo 4484]

Machete should not be batting here.

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Digging these wallpapers.

Shit. I agree with you.  

[elfenix 34243]

[cabowabo 4484]

Lol. OK.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

There ya go machete

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Hat tip to Machete.  Good AB.  

[huge 3793]

productive outs are productive

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Damn fine work from Javier today.  

[huge 3793]

Yes.  That was macho needed

Quick, type "Bregman should not be batting here."

Edit:  Too late, now try Tucker.

got some hustle in the outfield

[perfectchaos007 6643]

No 9th inning magic for us today.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Hector has been all business today and yesterday.

Tomorrow is our Neris dueler's day off.

[Lat22 4014]

I’ve watched this entire game sitting dead stopped on I 45 in Huntsville. Eighteen wheeler flipped over right in front of me over 3 hours ago. CSB.

[TonyTexas 10515]
