a 3-7 pitcher with 5.50 ERA outduels the best pitcher in the world, the game of his life.  That's one aspect of the game.

The second aspect -- Then gets pulled with 1 out to go on a CG shutout masterpiece.  F'n moron Oriole manager. 

Orioles have the magic against Houston.  The next couple of games are going to be rough, let's see. 

Moron?  Hyde said the one guy he didn’t want hitting again was Alvarez.  So, he brought in his 12 for 12 closer to shut the door.  Bautista struck out Diaz for the final out with Alvarez on deck.

or the starter could have K'd Diaz as he did 10 other hitters.

100 pitches .. furthest Bradish had gone in his baseball career.  Tying run at bat, lead run on deck, only closer in MLB without a blown save or loss since the trade deadline ready to go R on R.  Potential complete game for an individual or pretty much lock for a team win?  Whatever …

We'll see how Urquidy looks today.  Pretty important start for him.

And for the random % of innings with a sub-4 ERA pitcher stat.

[tx 3 putt 76,906]

Bounce back game would be nice

I think I’d rather be skewed on the pitching than the batting.

but man, I would be a bit disappointed if it’s anything other than Dodgers/Astros in the fall classic

Wow.

After clinching Monday, I didn’t think we’d see the playoff lineup again until…the playoffs.

No Tucker, but close.

[runthebone 7,972]

Mancini has 90 career starts in RF.  Doing everything we can to help Urquidy, no doubt.

Oh I’m with you

but I also want to grind the heel on both of them and revel in the tears, I mean boos after all the shit since the news broke in 2019.

[cabowabo 4,484]

Never ceases to amaze me.

Not watching.

went to check gameday and knew I had a 50/50 shot as to what this post was referencing.

leadoff homer. TOOTBLAN.

 

Dammit

I celebrate the entire catalogue. 
he’s an above average (barely) base runner for his career. He takes obvious stuff off the table but there is a lot of good there. It’s amusing as long as the team is running away with division titles. 

[TonyTexas 10,510]

Even if he’d been safe, he, no doubt, would’ve been doubled up on the line drive to the 3rd baseman

[cabowabo 4,484]

Bone headed baserunning strikes again.

[Honeysucklerose 987]

This freaking base-running is atrocious

[Pimphand 5,735]

FFS it is a good thing Baltiless wont be in the playpffs.

[WBT 20,561]

We're never going to score again.  Getting shutout by manbun.

[tx 3 putt 76,906]

 

[runthebone 7,972]

This offense sucks donkey balls.

[David Dennison 18,854]

This is absurd.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

At this point, I choose to believe this is a plan to keep the Mariners out of the playoffs and Julio from winning the ROY.

[tx 3 putt 76,906]

damn that was a big league play, on both ends  !

When I saw Dusty do the fake “toothpick in anger,” throw, I knew something was up.

They are replacing it after this show.  

[Scraps 13,561]

Yes i know

[Hank Chinaski 6,314]

So 15 straight scoreless innings. I guess they’re getting this shit out of their system?

 I still want to hear the contingency plans if we’re in the World Series opposite anyone other the Dodgers.

or are we just going to have a 3 hour Elton John concert delay during game 6?

(or a daytime World Series game would be kind cool. I guess. But can’t imagine a way to pull off a World Series game during the day and Elton John concert at night… followed by a potential game 7 the following night)

This team sucks donkey balls and ain't doing shit in the playoffs.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

5 games against Baltimore with this run production:  0, 1, 3 (W) , 0, 0.    So far 1-4.  

good thing we don't play them in the playoffs.  2 more regular season painful games to go. 

[Wulaw Horn 19,069]

If click is gone I want Sterns but I’d be just fine with Elias. Timing sort of fucked us on the JL suspension.

Lolz.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,771]

Tomorrow, Houston faces a minor league call up .. Mike Baumann.  He replaces Tyler Wells who’s done for the year with shoulder tightness.

[Jshep34 2,308]

Hoping for Elias as GM.

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could score a fucking run
If I could get out of Baltimore

[Hank Chinaski 6,314]

So as a team, the stros are 6/41 (.146) on balls in play the last 2 games. Baseball.
