I have no faith of Pressly closing out this game.

Well that's when I knew it was a lock to be a save.

[oh_snap 694]

That was some playoff baseball. 

[elfenix 34230]

astros win!

[David Dennison 18854]

LFG!!!!

[Stros121 4]

Astros win, Pressly kinda sucks as a closer

[Overlord 366]

Well. There’s another pair of Tommy Johns headed for the trash. 

[Lat22 4010]

Let’s go to the interview of the translator. 

[UTHornFan014 710]

Let's clinch a wildcard spot tomorrow

[runthebone 7968]

1. Fuck you, Pressly

2. Someone must have told Urquidy it was a World Series game

3. Whatever genius signed Abreu should run the upcoming offseason

[Rimbo 25919]

OK, back to watching unbelievably shitty college football

[Rip76 4925]

Beta Blockers activate!

How does Abreu not speak English yet?

He doesn't do DuoLingo 

[Stros121 4]

Damn abreu has the master dip in his mouth.

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

The bad thing is that we gonna get their best shot tomorrow. 

The good news is, even if we lose tomorrow they will clinch and undoubtedly drink until 4 in the morning, celebrate and play a split squad lineup on Sunday  Should be easy like playing the royals! 

Best news would be if we win tomorrow, Seattle wins again, but the reds lose.  Then, diamondbacks clinch and shut it down, we are guaranteed the playoffs and a win wins us the division. 

That’s the ideal scenario tomorrow. 
 

I think I wouldn’t pitch JV tomorrow and try to steal a win with France if he’s back. Or Bielak or something like that. That way- if you steal the win you throw Javier Sunday and if you win you get the division. If you lose you have JV and Framber lined up for the WC series with Minnesota. 
 

I bet we go with JV, but I don’t think that’s how I’d do it now that we have 2 chances to win 1 game.

Yeah but it is bad for our playoff math if Seattle wins.

I’d almost guarantee you he does. But just not super well. Doesn’t want to misspeak in his second language I bet.

Play to win the division.  Give yourself a chance to bypass 2 of 3 roulette

This is the way.

We take care of our business and win the next two, I have a feeling one of Castillo or Kirby beats the rangers and we win the division.

He’s an obstinate idiot at war with math and knows the rest of the world is mocking him. Of course he does.

That 432ft double has to be up there with the longest base hits ever

Richie sexton off the flag pole in MMP when it was 436 to the pole and he hit it 30 feet up the pole.

And like that one, Abreu should have been given a triple 

[Dutchrudder 11137]

Holy shit, I can't believe they pulled that win off! I looked up highlights because I missed it live, but what the fuck was the call on that Abreu "double"???  Did that get reviewed by New York umps?  The ball clearly hits the yellow line on this video, and here's a screenshot I took of it before it changes direction.

Hitting the yellow line is not a HR. Has to be above the yellow line

I saw it live. It was amazing. 

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

Another thought- if we win tomorrow and Seattle loses- they have no incentive to win on Sunday. Won’t likely get their best effort.
