I’d actually question the box

it’s Mark Wegner

he’s one of the best

or maybe he was dialed up for a 7pm game and the rain delay fucked his mindset for the night

lol

 

[UTexasFight 9454]

Idk when the league is going to start figuring out JP, but enjoying this as long as it lasts.

GOOD LUCK, FUCKERS

[UTexasFight 9454]

Rangers get two in the top of the 10th

And then don’t get an out in the bottom of the inning as the A’s get one back and then a 3 run walkoff HR

[runthebone 7990]

Let's keep Tucker behind Alvarez.

 

Chicago's chemistry must really suck.  How is a non-tanking team 13-27.

There are has an ERA over 5 so that's not a good starting point.

I bet Abreu could help them with that ….and thereby, us

Dusty also destroyed the careers of Mark Prior and Kerry Wood, so maybe he's learned something.

Kerry wood played 14 seasons and had tommy John year 2 

That surgery was happening regardless of his coach 

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Prior had bad legs

Woods arm was abused in high school. I’m shocked he lasted as long as he did.

We might need him …

Even crazier, to me, is how Cease has an ERA north of 5.5. I do expect him to lower it tonight, but hope Bielak and company can somehow scratch out a W.

As long as Abreu doesn’t bat 4th we will be fine

Get that wild card talk outta here

[Wulaw Horn 19076]

Cease going 6 innings giving up 1. 

[tx 3 putt 76980]

1 earned run and 5 unearned runs, I’ll take it 

[henrygandorf 29191]

cease has had a weird season.  his earned runs, in order, starting with opening night - 1-1-1-2-3-6-4-7.

we'll see.

also the 4-7 is 11er in 10ip vs minn/kc - two shitty offenses.

We'll see. I wouldn't be mad at Bielak - Whitley piggyback, but I'm not sure if they can carry an extra pitcher.

Getting Altuve back will give them some flexibility when Dubon doesn't have to play 2nd every day.

Holy shit Salazar exists 

Abreu 5th so I’m guessing 6-4 Astros win montero gets the save

Unfortunately, I think Chas' playing time will suffer. Dusty being Dusty, will be tempted to play Jake and Dubon in center everyday.

The Salazar roster rationale was so incredibly shitty. Dusty has pinch hit for Maldy, what once? And 95% of the time Diaz is available to pinch hit.

See therein lies the fault in your thoughts. You assumed Dusty has a brain

Haha. Yeah Dirden has to be pissed he's not a catcher right now. 

[Scraps 13561]

Salazar gettin one last go before Altuve boots his ass

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Do we have a guess of when he comes off? I assume they’re gonna wanna do it at home?

[Scraps 13561]

No better time than Friday against the shitty ass A's

I just assumed that was too fast. 

[runthebone 7990]

The standard is pretty low to celebrate 8 hits in 8 games.

Why?

he’s ready when he’s ready

I hope  he’s ready before the homestand that starts Memorial Day.

 

 

edit; yeah no better time than against the AAAA A’s

 

[Scraps 13561]

I just assumed that was too fast. 

It probably is but they are the equivalent of a minor league team so it would still basically be a rehab assignment

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Since you two are 10 days off in your answers im gonna wait for @tx 3 putt Twitter answer 

[UTexasFight 9454]

I’m saying he’s not going to be ready for the next homestand that ends with the A’s 

but waiting until the following one thats starts on Memorial Day is dumb

so he’ll join the team on the road.

likely in Oakland
