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)

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 76,375]

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 957]

Bad Lance tonight

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Bad Lance tonight

[Scraps 13,542]

Gonna see Brown in the 4th inning

[Honeysucklerose 957]

No idea why the triple post

[henrygandorf 29,177]

 

[runthebone 7,932]

Made contact, at least.

[Scraps 13,542]

Waaay better inning from Lance

Try 9-0....they suck

[Scraps 13,542]

Marwin is pitching

[Scraps 13,542]

Altuve 1900th hit

[henrygandorf 29,177]

 

[Scraps 13,542]

Marwin is pitching

He hit 90 on one pitch

[Scraps 13,542]

Suck it Trout

[Wulaw Horn 18,980]

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

brown needs to start stretching 

[runthebone 7,932]

Brown and Diaz will both be in by the fifth

[Scraps 13,542]

Yainer knows he can take pitches right

[WBT 20,421]

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

[TonyTexas 10,482]

Diaz needs to chill out. 

[Scraps 13,542]

He is Altuve on roids with the swing frequency

[rvm96 1,643]

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

[WBT 20,421]

1st and 3rd no outs, did not score 

[Wulaw Horn 18,980]

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

[Js1 85,110]

Just now, WBT said:

No one even put the ball in fucking play

Guaranteed homer next inning

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

[HtownHorn 14,487]

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

[Wulaw Horn 18,980]

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 8,052]

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 7,932]

No GIDP, Yuli.
