Apologies, didn’t think to double check my sources.

Well done.

[rvm96 1643]

Great job battling tonight after a tough first inning to earn a quality start. The swing and miss numbers are encouraging.

[tx 3 putt 77360]

Damn solid outing for Javier. He looked much better than some recent outings. He can go hit the buffet now, guilt free 

 

[Hornsbay22 470]

Not a bad start for Javier afte I spent 30 min cussing him and his family.

Still would prefer not giving them 5 free base runners. But way better than I thought it would go after the 1st inning

[rvm96 1643]

Wait when the heck did Randy get long hair/extensions?

[Scraps 13570]

Stephenson played for Pit and now Tampa

Recent and they are hideous.

Worst OF hair in majors....him, Siri and whatever whiteboy is rocking doesnt even matter


Edit....siri got rid of his...didnt even notice

Baseball prospect dorks have overvalued catcher prospects from the beginning of time. Lee’s immensely overrated by you and every service out there. Can’t hit. Nice defense. Awesome. Put 50 of those guys in a fucking hat, shake them up and pull one out, and you have a 4A solution that people can jack off to for a few years before the “prospect” fades into oblivion. 

He was a bad draft choice and good riddance. All we have lost is y’all’s dorky prospect yearning. He will do precisely dick at the MLB level. 

I mean- do you think saying 37tg best asset in the organization is me showering him with praise?  
maldonado is the exemplified of what absolute shit caching looks like and it can be really bad. Lee is the Gbenda of the astros, not great but if you have to instead play coke you’d wish you had gbenda. 

[David Dennison 18946]

Never mind.

C'mon blue. Jesus.

[WBT 20658]

Yordan needs to run into one here

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

That first pitch to Yordan should have ended up in upper deck. Don’t think he quite has his sea legs yet.

[David Dennison 18946]

Great.

[Scraps 13570]

Fucking kidding me

The only day Hank is happy is the day the Astros win the WS.  The next day he’s back to his dark clouds.  Miserable.  

This is a ridiculous exaggeration; in both instances, I was reasonably happy the next day too. 

[cabowabo 4514]

And we get fucked by Jose Siri.

Could Julks have played that better?

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

next year with no Dusty

7th - Pressly, 8th Neris , 9th Abreu

[runthebone 8033]

[Mo Horn 8853]

Siri beating us us really going to piss me off, if we can't come back in the bottom of the 9th.

If he gave up a run in the 7th we'd still be losing

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Hitting five of their guys might not be any record, but it's up there. What a cluster of a game. 

[David Dennison 18946]

Man, how do you let Siri stretch that into a double in the 9th inning?

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

We need 9 pitchers 

[rvm96 1643]

Also Ryan justed passed Bryan in blown saves this season. Bryan is 3 for 7.

Well walk offs are fun. I’m ready for a fun Friday night

Julks’d

[Mo Horn 8853]

I've never been a fan of throwing your closer in the top of the 9th when you're tied. If we don't come back press is gonna take the deserved loss

[UTexasFight 9527]

Pressly probably cooked for tomorrow night to.

will need Graveman tomorrow

[rvm96 1643]

Lol my brain is fried so Ryan and Bryan are still tied.

Is it considered a blown save since the game was tied? Just a loss, I think. 

[UTexasFight 9527]

Is the mlb app crap for anyone else lately?

Takes forever to load.

”sorry. Something went wrong/ retry” error messages often?

When you're brought in for only one inning before the 9th you can only get a blown save.
