Altuve needs a hit in his next AB to hit .300!

[Scraps 13561]

JV going balls deep like the Phillies are Upton

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Pena is out there at short thinking, "I hope I never have to face that slider."

[WBT 20565]

Phillies must have gone hard at Treasures last night.

Is 8 Ks through 3 any good?

Any idea when tickets will go on sale?  I have a buddy who wants to watch them bad.

Not yet.

Thanks, their website is down right now looks like.

[runthebone 7982]

JV's velocity is a little lower tonight.  Hopefully just saving something for later.

[cabowabo 4484]

This is some sick shit…..

[WBT 20565]

.3011!

Oops, I was one hit and one AB off...the numbers I were looking at earlier included the first AB tonight already.

[Js1 85326]

Glad Dusty didn’t pull him!

[runthebone 7982]

.2998!!!!

 

He should go Ted Williams and leave no doubt. 

 

Thanks, Devo.

I need one of those Twitter trackers of Altuve’s chase for .300 from game 1 to game 161.

[TonyTexas 10511]

This is JV’s Curt Schilling game 

 

[HtownHorn 14681]

Now he's 1 double from 40 and 2 HRs from 30. Likely not going to get both, but nice counting stat season nonetheless.

His 2nd half has been absolutely incredible..next level, I almost feel like he just wanted to give himself a challenge 

[UTexasFight 9432]

If JV gets through 6 scoreless, (or earned run-less), he’ll tie Pedro for lowest AL ERA in the LDS era 

[WBT 20565]

What is Kalas smoking?  Or maybe it's me?  I think JV is the favorite for the CY but I don't think it will be unanimous.

[runthebone 7982]

What a season, JV

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Beast mode. Take a bow, 35. 

[tx 3 putt 76947]

Great outing !

[UTexasFight 9432]

Good awareness by Pettis to hold the runner with Yordan need 4 RBIs for 100

[runthebone 7982]

So does Altuve get 6 days off, then? 

[UTexasFight 9432]

Here comes a leadoff single 

[UTexasFight 9432]

JV/Hunter/Pressly wouldn’t be a bad way to show the Phillies how to actually pull off a No-hitter 

[TonyTexas 10511]

Congrats to JV for winning his 3rd Cy Young. Truly an amazing competitor. 

[UTexasFight 9432]

Is Kalas right? A guy gets credited with a hit if a runner is out because the ball hit him?

[runthebone 7982]

This is hockey style line shifting

Yes

[tx 3 putt 76947]

 

[WBT 20565]

I would have left Brown in but it worked out.  Pressly was probably throwing the 9th either way.

[Ojo Rojo 1965]

Nitpicking here in a meaningless game, but were there good reasons to pull JV after the 5th with only 77 pitches with a no-no going and the chance to do something historic?

 

[mrhorn 1383]

Smith? For fucks sake.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Will Smith in the 9th in a no hitter?  damn it dusty.

More like was there a good reason NOT to? At 77 pitches through 5, he wasn't going to throw a CG. That's regardless of any health issues. 

[WBT 20565]

Yordan messed around and got a triple double.

ill guess he had a say in it

Rake farm!  2 for 2.

Why leave JV in when Smith needs work.

Dude is raking and coming up short on RBIs

[Gut Wagon 8065]

In other news, Mancini is now an out looking for someplace to be made. 

[tx 3 putt 76947]

here we go 

 

[runthebone 7982]

Meyers's OPS is leaving Dubon's in the dust

hopefully the 5 days off does him some good

[WBT 20565]

[WBT 20565]

Damnit Dusty

[runthebone 7982]

Fuck you, Smith

[cabowabo 4484]

Lol. Knew there was no way Smith would close this out.
