[tx 3 putt 76871]

Better throw gets him at home 

[Mo Horn 8831]

Bad luck continues. No way that ball should have come so far off the wall, unless it hits just right

[Scraps 13561]

Shut these kids up....would rather listen to a drum

[Scraps 13561]

Lets not make this fuck look like cy young the first 5 innings

[Mo Horn 8831]

I dare them to throw that pitch again to yordan tonight

[tx 3 putt 76871]

We love two out runs 

[WBT 20561]

Ted!  f your now less extreme shift.

Obviously your left fielder needs to come in more on a ball hit like that.  I hate Drayton's gimmicky ballpark sometimes.

Pay the man.

What a dumb fucking question

[WBT 20561]

y'all keep talking shit about rake farm

[WBT 20561]

Holy shit, that was a sub 2-minute half inning for Framberlamps

[Mo Horn 8831]

Nailed him. Great throw

[MaybeACoordinator 8349]

All y'all who think Yordan is a liability in LF say what?

People say that?

[Scraps 13561]

Shift that Hinch you fucktard

[tx 3 putt 76871]

All Hail !!!

[WBT 20561]

Ted!!  3-0 green light.

[tx 3 putt 76871]

Go Julks Go 

[Mo Horn 8831]

Embarrassing Julks

[Scraps 13561]

Speaking of fucktards

[WBT 20561]

fucking hell, cougar high

[closetojumping 62565]

Julks isn’t worth the fucking gas fare it will cost to send him to the Greyhound station or Sugarland. Fuck me there are some dead outs in this lineup right now. 

[Scraps 13561]

Jesus christ

[tx 3 putt 76871]

Out 

[cabowabo 4484]

Great hustle there Alex. 

[Rip76 4925]

Good lord

[WBT 20561]

Not that close

And with your statement about Julks (while true) there are at least 3 guys in tonight’s lineup worse than him and arguably a 4th. They really really pussed out at Catcher and LF. 

[Mo Horn 8831]

JFC, can anything else go against us this year? But, Alex shouldn't assume and go hard regardless

[WBT 20561]

It looked like he was running fairly hard until he realized he was going to be dead at 2nd.  I think it was more about the bounce coming so quickly back to the LF than thinking it was gone.

[WBT 20561]

catch the fucking ball

[David Dennison 18850]

Oh, good. Playing from behind. Again.

This is just stupid imo. I know he's several years older when he first got to the bigs compared to Tucker but I'll give an example anyways. Tucker batted .141 in his first 28 games. 

[Scraps 13561]

So much fail

Julks bregman dubon machete

[tx 3 putt 76871]

Pena has to cut down that run at the plate 

[Mo Horn 8831]

Cmon Pena, you're in and it's hit right to you. Field the damn ball and throw him out. Doing everything we can to lose games this year. Gotta shake the WS hangover and start playing some ball. 

[patrickdrinksbeer 788]

sloppy play in all phases tonight. need to tighten this shit up.

 He just went unselected in the rule 5 and made his debut at 27 and you're comparing him to a #5 overall pick?  He's a non prospect.

[David Dennison 18850]

Let the game 6 freak out commence.

[Mo Horn 8831]

The baseball gods just hate us right now

The point was that some players take time to adjust to big league hitting. Tucker was the first player that came to mind.

Nowhere close to freaking out, but you gotta admit the entire club, minus a few hitters that are in the zone, seem to be in a funk. 

[David Dennison 18850]

This pitching change makes no sense, AJ.

It's like this every year. 

[Hank Chinaski 6314]

It’s not freaking out to acknowledge that this team is significantly worse than last year.

Didn't last year's team start 11-11?

Right now?  sure. If fully healthy?  Nah. We will be good. Probably. Unless everything stays against us. 
we were 11-11 last year and everyone was freaking out too.

Remember the Nico Goodrum experience last Apr-May?  Good times.
