I seem to remember the front office making similar proclamations of "don't worry, everything is fine" with Yordan's hand earlier this summer.

Yeah, excuse me if I don't take anything the front office says at face value when it comes to injuries. 

[UTexasFight 9380]

Meh. If he’s hurt and ineffective, we won’t we see him.

what’s the other alternative for them to announce?

”his neck really bothers him when he has to produce more torgue throwing fastballs. Expect to see more offspeed from him in the postseason.”

[henrygandorf 29178]

which one is pressly again?

[UTexasFight 9380]

Just gotta fix the walks. He’s showing some progress recently 

 

 

 

 

Spoiler

Abreu

Pretty sure Pressly broke his neck and is a quadriplegic now.

[UTexasFight 9380]

Pretty close to our postseason lineup

No motherfucking Ranger is going first to third tonight.

Sweet

With sugarland in town, had already planned to make my first round rock game of the year tomorrow before this news.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

I'm only now noticing that Javier has only an 8-9 record despite a 3.07 ERA and some of the best stuff in the league. How did that happen? I mean, besides Houston scoring fewer runs than the other team in 9 of his games?

I feel like I saw a stat not too long ago that he’s up there in league leaders for worst run support 

6 of his L’s the team has scored 2 or fewer

Major League play there Jeremy.

Yeah- that’s a tough error on him but damn if we aren’t used to that play being made the last 7 years. I can’t believe the defensive metrics when I see them play out comparing our last SS to this one. 

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Rangers apparently haven't heard that sacrifice bunts are now verboten.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

When a stiff like Calhoun is hitting you, it's not your night. 

[TonyTexas 10482]

So Chas has one of the best slugging % in the league against LHP. But he’s on the bench tonight and usually is against lefties. SMH

[Scraps 13542]

That was cute

[cabowabo 4453]

This team is unwatchable at the moment.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Tonight is like tee ball, but with less attention to detail.

It’s truly mind boggling. He’s got an ops of 1.000 against LHP. That’s MVP candidate numbers. Yet, he doesn’t play. 

[TonyTexas 10482]

WTF?  That made no sense. 

[runthebone 7932]

I hope the Astros lose tonight then have a meeting about having your fucking catcher trying to steal third with 2 out and Alvarez at the plate.  Then whoever made that decision will be fucking fired.

[Guadaloopy 10926]

Anyone have a good stream?   Mine is jacked up.  It just showed a broadcast from some alternate dimension where Christian Vazquez tried to steal third with Yordan at the plate.

If sitting Chas against a LHP so you can play Dubon isn’t a fireable offense then nothing about in game strategy could possibly be. 
 

[runthebone 7932]

Are they going to meet with Dusty before the playoffs and tell him to stop this shit?  I don't feel like wasting a year of everyone's primes.

[Scraps 13542]

A little 2 out magic.

Mancini needs to go ahead and tie it up

That’s always been my sense, but starting to lose faith the closer we get and the less we start seeing optimal lineups.

I see what you mean. 

[Guadaloopy 10926]

We’ve got to get to one of these bullpen arms, right?   Right?

[tx 3 putt 76402]

King Tuck !

[Scraps 13542]

There we go

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Just waiting to clear Javier's line, I guess. 

[Scraps 13542]

Walking someone who is trying to bunt....jfc

[runthebone 7932]

Ugh.

[Scraps 13542]

Great job by Abreu

Da fuq?

[kevwun 15653]

It's contagious.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

This is one wacky game. 

[LebongJames 1787]

Fuck Dusty. My dad is two years older than him we took major decision making out of his hands a couple years ago.

[Scraps 13542]

Fucking Dusty why did you bring in Abreu to completely shut them down

[Guadaloopy 10926]

Abreu is our postseason weapon.  That was damn nasty.  

[UTexasFight 9380]

Good work Abreu.

comes in with a man on.

2 IP.

no walks.

No one reaches 

 

keep it rolling
