Dubon clearly taking base running lessons from Altuve. 

[cabowabo 4484]

Replay nullification.  Lol. 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

WTF !!!!!!

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Fuck New York

[HtownHorn 14682]

The top spin on that ball from Alvarez was insane. Dubon is still slow as shit.

 

I am fine with the overturn. The blocking rule is stupid as shit,

Agreed. For a slim dude his base stealing numbers are dog shit.

Still above league average.

[WBT 20572]

I thought you could block if you already had the ball?

These rules changes were all dumb.  Thanks a lot Chase Utley.

[rvm96 1643]

I guess he's not hurt anymore.

True. Then again, for a guy who's been a big part of why we're somehow over .500, he sure catches a lot of grief.

Fuck no. -3.9 BsR for his career, -1.3 this season. He's fucking slow as shit, only slightly faster than your brain's ability to figure shit out.

France with a hell of start after 30 pitches in the 1st inning.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Yordan !!!!

[hornmpa96 2618]

Yordan with the big catch.

[Mo Horn 8842]

Nice job JP. OK boys  let's get him the win now

Abreu has to be hurt.  He can’t suck this bad. 

[UTexasFight 9450]

Speaking of sprint speed 

[HtownHorn 14682]

The grass in LF is different.

[Gut Wagon 8071]

All things considered (especially after that wild first inning), a mighty nice start for France. Hope he can get the W. 

[UTexasFight 9450]

What happens to leadoff walkss

 

 

[runthebone 7982]

Neris just wants to feel alive, guys.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

[billfromlaketravis 11480]

Lol. F*** Houston chant gets answered with a double play. Please beat us once before starting that chant. 0-5 assholes.

Is there some secret scouting report about using a lefty versus Yordan?  If so, I salute the author.

[WBT 20572]

Sounded like a Ju-li-o chant to me

[tx 3 putt 76958]

That m’s pitcher had the red ass

Nasty pitch

Looks to me like everyone has learned to pitch him in under the hands so that he can’t get his arms extended.

Granted, I never really watched him before this year, so don’t know what he used to do with inside pitches.

Dude needs to figure it out soon, or he’s just going to be a black hole in the middle of the lineup.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Seeing eye singles 

[Rip76 4928]

Oof

Good grief. France deserves better than this fiasco. 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

We over payed for Montero 

[Mo Horn 8842]

Tucker up first in the 9th.

what did he do late in the game yesterday?

[cabowabo 4484]

We still have the lead if he doesn’t walk that dude with 2 outs. 

[elfenix 34241]

sonuvabitch

[YChang 3444]

Mannnnnn

[David Dennison 18860]

Bregman should have had that ball.

[Chuckie Finster 22694]

Bagwell the GM really boned this team
