Time for Abreu to put up a dinger. OK, past time...but still time. Maybe he busts out this series and restores my faith in signing "elderly" FA position players. 

[Scraps 13581]

Any day Yordan isn't playing is a bad day

with Yanier at DH, I look forward to seeing how Dusty fucks this up.

Either by leaving Maldy in to bat in the 9th against Fairbanks instead of pinch-hitting with Yordan.

or by pinch-hitting Yordan for Maldy thinking he can slide Diaz over to catcher and leave Yordan in at DH….except it doesn’t work that way

Just say the update. Fuck

Y’all slap dicks wanted brabaylon to get an at bat, highly likely it now happens this series

Probably in the 3rd inning to PH for Tucker because #Dusty

[UTexasFight 9528]

I’m getting tired of Yordan coming down with freak injuries  playing in Atlanta

Are they sure it isn't his back that's hurt from carrying this team?

Don't they have injections for this shit?

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Baseball players get the weirdest injuries. For players with little to zero physical contact they are made of glass

Who wanted that?  Literally no one.  No one wanted that.

I think what it is is that it’s an every day game. Think Of how many times you wake up feeling physically like shit in some way. Imagine having to do something physical every day for 7.5 or 8.5 months. It’s a lot. Even if it’s not a contact/collision sport.

Yep.

but counterpoint:

it’s April fucking 24th.

not September 24th

True. 

[Rip76 4947]

That’s how you start off.

[Scraps 13581]

Them boys loafing in the OF

Dubon doing work

[Wulaw Horn 19152]

Peña can swing over the top of a breaking ball in the 2 spot as easily as the 7th spot. 

[Scraps 13581]

Pena seems like he sucks

[UTexasFight 9528]

Getting the run in

nice work 

[UTexasFight 9528]

Dubon looking like Altuve ambushing first pitch in Tampa 

[Scraps 13581]

Breggy likes to bomb in the Trop

[Rip76 4947]

Hell yes!

[Scraps 13581]

Yep...just looked it up cause i thought i knew he hit here.

5th career homer there now

[UTexasFight 9528]

Sexy start  

[UTexasFight 9528]

Looking like we got a scouting report on this guy after his first two MLB starts were excellent 

[Scraps 13581]

Nice shoes bitch

[Wulaw Horn 19152]

Looked safe live to me. 

[Scraps 13581]

Safe

[Wulaw Horn 19152]

Yeah he’s safe. Also we never get a break on these so…

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

 

[Scraps 13581]

This 1st base ump can suck a fat dick

[Scraps 13581]

Kalas...."Margot chops one to second"

Straight to Pena at the SS position

[Scraps 13581]

Pena no longer seems like he sucks

Dayum

[Scraps 13581]

Dayum

Yeah well lets hope he doesnt K 15 straight times now on the same pitch

[Wulaw Horn 19152]

He’s on pace for 30. If he plays a really good SS he’s a plus guy regardless of all the stuff he doesn’t do well. But, I’d prefer him doing that from the 8 hole once we are fully healthy. 

[Wulaw Horn 19152]

It doesn’t feel like we win this game and it doesn’t feel like Urquidy gets they 5. 
I honestly want no part of these guys in the playoffs. Give me Yankees or jays or Indians or anyone but them all day every day 

[Limp Brisket 546]

They’re 19-3, we knew it would be tough, same going into Braves series.  

[Scraps 13581]

Hey vato throw strikes

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Those walks came back to hurt Urquidy, just like they usually do

[HtownHorn 14781]

I've seen enough of Urquidy today.

[David Dennison 18947]

Nice inning.

[HtownHorn 14781]

Maldonado loves calling the same fucking pitch in the same location all the fucking time.
