Check that Bregman has won it 3 times now...missed one of them in 2018.  So we have 9 of the last 34 

Now let’s add player of October (and first week of November)

[Scraps 13745]

Yordan scratched. Hand discomfort. Why are they even trying to play him right now?

[tx 3 putt 78469]

Just IL him for the rest of September. He’ll have 5 games in October to get his timing right then another week to heal some more

Really want to see Alvarez on the 15 day DL. It’s just absurd not to try to get him some rest. He’s completely unnecessary right now. Bring him back with 2 weeks left in the season and pray the rest does him good. 
Really feels fucked for the year. 

[tx 3 putt 78469]

I don’t think rest will help much, he needs surgery. 6 to 8 week recovery

He can have his surgery in November

It certainly can’t hurt anything. 
If it’s Hamate surgery that’s a good news bad news thing. 
the good news is it’s only like a 2 month rehab time. 
the bad news is it can sap your power for anywhere from 12-18 months. 
So, 2023 could be slappy Alvarez.

LMJ is getting his pitches in now so he can chill from the fourth inning on.

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

Bad Lance tonight

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

[Scraps 13745]

Gonna see Brown in the 4th inning

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

No idea why the triple post

[henrygandorf 29218]

 

[runthebone 8322]

Made contact, at least.

[Scraps 13745]

Waaay better inning from Lance

Try 9-0....they suck

[Scraps 13745]

Marwin is pitching

[Scraps 13745]

Altuve 1900th hit

[henrygandorf 29218]

 

[Scraps 13745]

Marwin is pitching

He hit 90 on one pitch

[Scraps 13745]

Suck it Trout

[Wulaw Horn 19560]

Jose Altuve is the greatest base runner in the history of  9/2/2022. Stole a run.

brown needs to start stretching 

[runthebone 8322]

Brown and Diaz will both be in by the fifth

Yainer knows he can take pitches right

[WBT 20881]

Needs to learn to lay off the fastball at the letters before I slot him into the 5-hole for the playoffs

[TonyTexas 10683]

Diaz needs to chill out. 

[Scraps 13745]

He is Altuve on roids with the swing frequency

[rvm96 1643]

It's his first game and he wasn't supposed to start today. I'll give him a break

[WBT 20881]

1st and 3rd no outs, did not score 

[Wulaw Horn 19560]

It’d be really nice if he got about 15 starts in a row (narrator voice- he won’t).

No one even put the ball in fucking play

"Altuve how tall are you"

"Cheattttterrrrr"

Guaranteed homer next inning

La Pina leadoff double often proved to be but a delay in a scoreless frame. 

[HtownHorn 15243]

Went back to the same pitch in the same location and got the call.

[Wulaw Horn 19560]

Lance is dominating even numbered innings. Houdini in odd numbered innings. 
I’m starting to get hard in anticipation of Hunter Browns MLB debut. 

[Gut Wagon 8214]

LMJ at just 56% strikes through 4. But when it's been over the plate, it's evidently been really hard to hit. Overall quite positive to this point. 

[runthebone 8322]

No GIDP, Yuli.
