Nice win tonight!

[UTexasFight 9379]

While it does get a bit old seeing each team 19 times, really not digging losing at least 20 games against the AL west next year.

Fewer games finishing after midnight is a good thing. 

[WBT 20419]

Happy JV day.  Might as well fuck around and shutout the M's for the entire series.

[Texas St. Armadillos 1381]

So, does Dusty bench himself today?

I don't know but if he benches Yordan I will probably lose my shit at the game today

Rush the field 

[Scraps 13542]

Rush the field 

The drop from the crawford boxes probably would blow out both ankles

[HtownHorn 14485]

3-2 against the Mariners, 3 shutouts. So apparently, if we don't let them score, we win. Who knew?

The bad news is, if they score even a single run they win. Data. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Good news for Scraps' ankles:

I'll rush it from 133 for no Pena

[TonyTexas 10482]

I have no problem with sitting Peña occasionally.  Rookies are not accustomed to playing so many games and have a tendency hit a wall at some point during the season.

I’m not shocked Diaz is starting today.

I am shocked it’s at SS and not 2B though.

really surprising to me Altuve isn’t getting a break for the Wednesday day game after Tuesday night game after coming off IL Monday.

 

in other words, I’m sure we’ll see Goodrum in the 2 hole at 2B tomorrow…

If anyone can tell me which section they have these, I’d greatly appreciate itn

[Planet Houston 4923]

This jabroni has 13 BB in 17 IP. We should light him up. Hitting 97 tho, not bad.

Make him throw strikes 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Seems like a good start.

Yep. We have one of  solo home runs that JV will give up covered

Our catchers are so shitty offensively.

Professional hitter

Maybe we should take up a collection for PH to go to all the games.  This will cover salary and insurance for the year.

[Mo Horn 8807]

Glad to see them giving JV some early run support.

4-0 achieved in the 2nd.  Am raising the goal to 16-0....

sweeping Correa would be nice

[UTexasFight 9379]

Change that to an E when it’s still the only runner to reach come the 8th inning 

[tx 3 putt 76353]

Hell of a dp !!$

[clapclapclap 9000]

A ballsy at bat earns a single.

[kevwun 15643]

That was a homerun.

[Planet Houston 4923]

That clearly hit the yellow line. What’s the rule?

[kevwun 15643]

It's supposed to be a homer if it hits the yellow line or above and the ball goes in to the stands.  Replay is fucking worthless.  It could not have been any clearer.

Edited May 4, 2022 by kevwun

[Mo Horn 8807]

That was probably going to be a foul ball, but too close for the fielder to let it drop

[Ojo Rojo 1895]

Is Goodrum in at 2B?  Why? Did Altuve reaggravate? Or is precautionary with a large lead?

[clapclapclap 9000]

Correct call

Universal Ground Rules

• All yellow lines are in play.

Edit:  Looks like #8 and 10 may only apply to that left-center corner doohickey, according to their map.

Edited May 4, 2022 by clapclapclap
Or maybe it's a living, breathing yellow line

[Pablo 494]

the twitter machine says he fouled a ball off his dick

[kevwun 15643]

He got hit with a pitch that he swung at.  Looks like it him in the arm or the ribs, but they never showed a replay.  He finished the at bat and ended up getting a hit so it's probably just precautionary.

Fouled a ball off his groin in his last AB. Not sure if it's related. Hopefully Dusty is just giving him some rest given we are leading by 5 and it's a day game after a night game. 

[kevwun 15643]

That would explain why they never showed the replay.
