yuli's hit is out in 28 other ballparks 

[David Dennison 18601]

How long has the count graphic been down?

Yeah this dumb park and Camden where they just moved the wall back 4,000 ft this season

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

I don’t understand the Angels. Does Morales think they’re in the NBA? Way overpay for the Big 3, fill in the rest of the roster with scrubs like Fletcher, Mayfield, Stassi, and Duffy. 

Fletcher is a goddamn pest.

[WBT 20397]

That curve was nasty

He made a good first play in the field to get Ohtani. His AB’s have been cringy. If he’s league average this year that will be a win. That’s not a knock on him that should be the hope for all but the bluest of blue chip prospects their rookie season. AAA to MLB is the hardest transition in sports imo. 

[Guadaloopy 10903]

The first implementation of the Ohtani rule!

[Pablo 494]

Helluva job by Framber tonight!

[Guadaloopy 10903]

And Framber says, no big whoop.

I’ve heard this referenced but didn’t look it up. What is the Ohtani rule? 

[WBT 20397]

Framber at 67 pitches.  Should be able to go one more.

His trade value is shit right now.

Gets to stay at dh after being pulled from the mound.

Eggrolls served in the middle of the 6th in dugout of whoever is playing against the Angels

[tx 3 putt 76158]

chas !!!!

[cabowabo 4449]

Dang Chas…..

[WBT 20397]

Chazzy fizz!  Let's get him in this time.  And for the love of god, bunt mschete.

[cabowabo 4449]

Bunt here please. 

[Guadaloopy 10903]

[Scraps 13531]

Bunt fucker

[billfromlaketravis 11352]

Y’all keep taking shit on Chaz. I will be one of them. 

[Guadaloopy 10903]

It’s amazing how Chas can get on top of those pitches.  

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Come on machete

[cabowabo 4449]

Don’t understand why you call the bunt off there. 

[Honeysucklerose 957]

That’s terrible coaching

[WBT 20397]

base hit brings him home 

[cabowabo 4449]

And then Altuve bunts??  The fuck?

[perfectchaos007 6593]

We just can't get it going when we have RISP

I have no words for the last two at bats. 

[HtownHorn 14446]

I will never understand the desire not to sac bunt the worst hitter in baseball.

I can understand if the Astros are up a lot or down a lot, but a 1 run game, leadoff hit, it should be fucking automatic.

Trying to bunt for a hit after 3 straight Ks.  He seems to try it sometimes when he isn't seeing it well.  I wish he wouldn't with a runner on 2nd.

as opposed to not needing a hit to score him from 3rd.

See, the thing is to sac bunt the next guy with one out. That way there's a man on third with two outs.

It's science.

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Chase is like…

Yep.  NL pitchers were always auto bunts and he's about that bad.

[cabowabo 4449]

Peña has been terrible tonight. 

[perfectchaos007 6593]

I already miss Correa's defense

And there is our first error of the year for Pena. Not a story book debut so far. 

[David Dennison 18601]

Well, we missed Correa in the very first game.

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Peña with the error.  All is lost.

Yeah- Yuli saved him an error earlier in the game. I’m not sure how quick the turn on the double play was that they almost beat out in the first but it didn’t look v like the throw to Altuve was really fast.

You can't do that.

[WBT 20397]

That was a strike if machete doesn't bail out of there

[cabowabo 4449]

Holy shit…..

If Kansas City sucks late in the year Greinke should force them to do that with him. 

[tx 3 putt 76158]

Daaaaaaaaaammn

[Scraps 13531]

Should've been a K
