I can regularly pick up 740AM KTRH from the source in the car or at home, just like tonight.

I would try a radio in my house but I don’t think I own one. Lol. 

[cabowabo 4453]

In the words of Ratt, Lay it down. 

[elfenix 34172]

i bought a new receiver and it seems like the AM radio is busted.  FM comes in fine even without the antenna.  nada on AM, even 740.  got the old alarm clock radio phone going though without digital tuning it's only so-so.

1st inning massacre.
Lockem down Valdez.

Do they know how to bunt in the pros?

Apparently not, or the shift wouldn't have knocked the whole league's batting average down by 20 points.

Henry Aaron was one of the best bunters ever and he would've hit .600 against the shift, but don't tell these analytics nerds that.  Just try to park one!

John Smoltz is such a fucking beating to listen to. Keep the rooting for the Phillies to yourself asshole.

[UDontKnow 10439]

Framber dealing a shutout but probably won't be able to go more than 6 frames at his current pace.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Who is worse? Him or Joe Buck? They both suck dick is my answer.

Crush it Yordan

[WBT 20424]

Buck indubitably is worse

Mike is a good follow. Know him in real life, loves the Stros more than anyone I know.

[YChang 3431]

Such better plate discipline tonight from Yordan

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19093]

Remember when it was both Buck and Smoltz?  FML.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19093]

Well, shit.  

[WBT 20424]

Damn, Bregman has hit two hard ground balls.  Just needs to elevate.

[YChang 3431]

At least it’s mostly good swings with these at bats, keep it up guys!

[HtownHorn 14491]

Lead off walks in back-to-back innings and neither advance one fucking base. I hate selfish playoff baseball.

[TexArcher 37524]

Smoltz trying to will the Phillies onto the scoreboard like last night.

Cocksmoker.

[tx 3 putt 76414]

yuli with the dig.  he never played first until he signed with the astros, that's correct

Plays like that are why i don't gripe too much about Yuli's bat.

[WBT 20424]

Nice play on both ends.

Both are awful - Smoltz is more annoying and grating IMO. Both of them together were nails on chalkboard. Buck’s favorite football team growing up were the Oilers so that gives him a few points in my book.

He had some adventures when they first moved him over to first, but the work he's put in and results are amazing.

[tx 3 putt 76414]

sit down !

 

[Macklemore 2870]

Great fucking inning Framber.

[TexArcher 37524]

All these waves at Framber's curve make me feel pretty damned good about LMJ's upcoming start, too...

[WBT 20424]

Good inning.  Only 11 pitches was nice.

[YChang 3431]

New #1 even if JV comes back?

[Wulaw Horn 18983]

If you would have given me 2-2 on the JV/Framber starts before the series started I’d feel pretty good about going 2-1 in the Javier/LMJ/Javier starts. 
It was a motherfucker the way we lost last night but this team is so mentally strong they shrugged it off like it was nothing. 
time to get a couple more runs here, watch Framber go 6 scoreless and turn it over to the bullpen for a nice and boring three innings. 

[Guest]

Bandana boy playing fuck-fuck with Framber was my favorite.

Such a satisfying strike-out, bitch boy.

[Gut Wagon 8053]

Adding another crooked number right here would be allowed.

With as much pitching as we have there is no way to justify giving JV 3 years and 100+ if you don’t trust him to be the hammer in the playoffs. He’s completely unnecessary in the regular season. 
But if JV is back he’s the opening day starter and your number 1.

Not to be negative but LMJ curveball usage is down like 20% since he missed 2019

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19093]

Hey, a bunt.  But with no one on.

Chas!

[HtownHorn 14491]

Great AB, gets the lineup through Maldonado.

[WBT 20424]

Way to turn the lineup over Chas

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19093]

Damn it.

[tx 3 putt 76414]

damn

[elfenix 34172]

mccormick seems to come up a lot with 2 outs and seems to get on base a lot.  important to get maldy up so he can do that and we can lead off with altuve (please take a pitch)
