Walk this off Yordan.  No softball rules at all.

[Guadaloopy 10981]

As a bald man, it annoys me when men who have hair do something ridiculous with it.

That was a location mistake, not bad stuff.  

Yeah. That’s the Maldy .400 red square right there

[WBT 20636]

That's terrible 

[UTexasFight 9514]

Unreal

[cabowabo 4492]

No excuse for that. Fucking idiot.

[Guadaloopy 10981]

Get out of the box, big man.  

[HtownHorn 14749]

Dusty needs to nip this stupid shit in the bud, right now.

[Storm the Field 5297]

Don't sit there and pimp a double off the wall and turn it into a single.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Now that pisses me right off

Dusty will probably bench him tomorrow

We can hope.

[Wulaw Horn 19129]

Yuli needs to pick him up here. That’s not a habitual thing for Yordan, I’m giving him a huge pass here. 

[UTexasFight 9514]

2 TOOTBLANs and a 2 strike cement mixer with 2 outs in the 9th.

 

pull your heads out, guys. This isn’t 2013.

[cabowabo 4492]

Fuck this ump.

[Wulaw Horn 19129]

Clown show ump on Yuli. 

[Guadaloopy 10981]

WTF blue.

And Yordon’s boner no longer matters. 

[Scraps 13567]

Yordan probably would've blown out his knee going to 2nd. I applaud his walking to first on a ball hit off the wall

[cabowabo 4492]

Can Tucker bunt?

Not technically a tootblan

[HtownHorn 14749]

Tucker should bunt, not called, but bunt nonetheless.

Then they walk Pena and Siri and Maldonado are due up

[Wulaw Horn 19129]

If Tucker hunts it’s bases loaded for SIRI with 1 out after they walk Peña  I say swing away.

Sorry

1 TOOTBLAN 

1 PFPRAFISP (pulled for pinch runner at first instead of scoring position)

[WBT 20636]

Ted!!

[Scraps 13567]

You Tucker bunt guys are dumb as rocks

[elfenix 34330]

it don't make a shit! astros win!

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Ted!

[Wulaw Horn 19129]

Swing away!  Great success!  

[Gourmand 7774]

YESSSSSSSSSSS 

TUCKER 

[Guadaloopy 10981]

Their closer’s worse than ours!!!

Edited May 6, 2022 by Guadaloopy

[HtownHorn 14749]

Nearly hit McCormick, but I'll take it. Way to pick up Yordan.

[Gourmand 7774]

Man, Yordan WTF

The game would be over.

[WBT 20636]

4 in a row

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Pressly with the W! Nice!

[runthebone 8022]

And Pressly gets the win in his first game back.

 

Even better than a save.

[Guadaloopy 10981]

Yordan’s screwup probably saved him a pulled hammy on the scamper home.

I'm not following you.  Anyway it worked out

[Gourmand 7774]

Yordan pantsed himself on that long single off the Phillips 66 sign BUT how the f was that not a home run?? Looked easily gone off the bat. 

Like y'all said, it all worked out regardless.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

what is the lowest BA for a catcher in mlb history, given 200+ ABs. ?

That guy is sending Maldonado a muffin basket 

[Scraps 13567]

Bill Bergen hit .132 in 1911 with 250 PA.

Not sure if it is lowest, but machete and Castro both have some work to do

We've held opponents scoreless in 34 of 36 innings so far this homestand.  The other 2 we've given up a 2-run homer.

All fastballs to Baez: 91, 94, 94, 93, 93

We happy about that?  We nervous about that?  

I'll be nervous about it if we don't see an uptick soon. He's not going to overpower hitters with that velo, and his command has been lacking. Small sample size and all that, but he has a 1.5 WHIP and a 5.4 BB/9 so far this season. I'd be fine with Montero getting the save opportunities until Pressly returns to form.
