Our beautiful boy.

Look at our DH. Better win tonight, cause the next two pitching matchups are real fucking ugly. 

 

[DougO 5264]

Using your DH spot for a .202 hitter in the 9 hole is a bold strategy.

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Hell, our OD lineup had Free Willie hitting 9-hole as DH, we ain’t changed much. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Alright, 1-0 final. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Corey, bitches. 

[jeevsie 3789]

Check in from H-Town

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Move down to one of those lower sections. Tell them you know @Scraps. 

[jeevsie 3789]

Attendance tonight is a bit thin

[DougO 5264]

First three innings of work Perez has thrown 23 pitches, 20 for strikes. Not terrible.

I hope I didn't just screw him over.

Vaunted Josh/Bubba combo, of course. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Bubba’s gonna snap his ankle sliding that late.

Per Brad Miller's Wikipedia:

Miller is a bamboo aficionado. He keeps several bamboo plants in his Florida home, saying that the plants are low-maintenance enough to maintain with a baseball schedule. In June 2019, he purchased a "lucky bamboo plant" from a shop in Philadelphia's Chinatown, which he believed helped break the Phillies' seven-game losing streak.

There it is

Sorry, Rangers fans.

 

[ztejas 44223]

Joke's on them we aren't really trying to win. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Kinda fucked this one up. 

[jeevsie 3789]

Get that lead back

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Adolis, bitches. 

[Dr Fear 1290]

Adolis, bitches. 

Now tied for 9th in MLB with Freddie Freeman at 71 RBI

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

We really gonna get swept now.

They even hammered Uruqidy early, who has been very hot. Still Rangering it.

Woody just trying to keep it from being a one-run game at this point.

 

[Herbie Hancock 7489]

Woody makes me miss Jerry Narron.

[jeevsie 3789]

Rally!

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Fan gonna protect our 1-run record. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

That sucked. 

[dcar00 14947]

that is just horseshit that it wasn't overturned to a home run.  Just have people out their knocking balls back on to the field.  

what a bunch of fucking morons in NY

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

8-hole. This one will likely be over in the first hour or so. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Spencer Howard dead, watch Dallas fucking Keuchel start for us Friday night against Sea. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Ballgame. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22980]

Hey we're winning.

I haven't kept up and watched much since that three game sweep @ Baltimore, but I had no idea King had been optioned down at some point.

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Of course the vaunted Leody/Meibrys combo bowed up. 

[Dr Fear 1290]

Honest question, why is Brad Miller on this team?

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Because he’s signed for $4M next year. Exact same reason Woodward will at least get to finish this one. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

We hate leads.

I find that answer to be very unsatisfying.

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Um, really fucking need more than 1 here. 

That works. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

We’ve seen that kind of pen inning a time or 26. 

[Dr Fear 1290]

Funny how the game immediately turned on a dime when Miller got pinch hit for.

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Have a fucking game, Leody. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Oh yeah, tomorrow is YouTube-only at 1:10. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Our only decent SP blows a 4-run lead, then we win the classic Otto v. JV matchup. 

Baseball, man. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

 

Culb/Zeke/Bubba, yowza. 

[jeevsie 3789]

Can't believe I let the kid pick which game we went to.

"Well, we don't want to go when Verlander is pitching!"

[gsoda3 3362]

Oof. Hate to see his prom date.

[DougO 5264]

Was tryna get home and catch the end of the game. Where's it at? Is this on some kind of twitter bullshit or something?

It's been over for a bit.

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Obviously the Miller & Calhoun signings were massive failures, but Garrett Richards really fucking sucks too.
