playoff Abreu has been worth the signing thus far

[UTexasFight 9431]

Not easy to get one out to that part of the park tonight 

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

Good signing, Dana. 

[Rip76 4925]

The Killer A’s!!

[texasgangordie 100]

Absolute crush job by Abreu 

[Scraps 13561]

All you motherfuckers who talked all that shit about Abreu all season need to sit there and think about what you did. Maybe even slap yourself a couple times.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Good signing, Dana. 

Bagwell bro

Came back down on the field.  I'm not sure where it bounced down from.

Ricocheted off Io.

[tx 3 putt 76905]

Damn that ball was deep 

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Bagwells signees coming in clutch. Bagwell for coach/GM/president 

[TexArcher 37774]

NONE OF THESE PITCHERS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER THAN LEAVING JOE RYAN IN DUMBASS

Hit the facade of the upper deck. That is a big boy shot to the opposite field. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Pretty sure every homer of his has been 400+ this series

[kevwun 15774]

And AJ had a good point about what the hell are they gonna do at the end of the game.  Bring in their blowout guys?

[Guest]

Thing I don't get about a Bullpen game is when you think of how many times even a Verlander or Cole when he was in blue & orange would give up a single home run early or just get knocked around a little until they found their rhythm and then it was lights out for the other team.  This approach brings in several pitchers who aren't on rhythm, and it's deliberate.

I get it if your staff is stretched thin or whatever.  Not sure I agree with Minny's approach for a Best of 5 Series. 

[tx 3 putt 76905]

Go Chas Go !!!!

2 - 2 

[Smax 3800]

The restrained disappointment in national announcers voice when the Astros take a lead is worth the price of admission

[perfectchaos007 6634]

Maldy will lead off the 5th of course. lmao

Glad to see him hit, he had a rough September.

I just don't understand the pre- planned bullpen game idea. Their starter wasn't pitching terrible, so why not adjust and play it inning by inning with him? I feel like it is much more difficult to have 6-7 relievers all be on their A game than to try to squeeze another couple innings out of the starter.

Maybe he'll take 7-8 pitches and get to the next guy for the top of the order.

It's working for me so far. 

[IDIOTsavant 8483]

Y’all need to pipe down and let Dave Rober….er Rocco cook.

[Scraps 13561]

2 more

That right center power alley upper deck is basically Crawford Boxes North for our heroes

Adam Amin sounds like someone shot his dog when Abreu hit that HR

[Scraps 13561]

Wainwright derpin it up

[TexArcher 37774]

Helluva job, Urquidy!!

Let's add on like 5 more.

[Guest]

announcers are pretty much shitting all over Minny's approach on the mound.

[Pimphand 5735]

Would be nice for Urquidy to get 7+ in

That's what she said?

[HtownHorn 14677]

Abreu has earned his $18M and can return for next year to be awful in the regular season.

I don't think he realized how long of a HR he hit. I don't think he saw it very well.

 

Lulz, at Wainwright. He got the memo to pump up the Twins.

[Gut Wagon 8065]

When your fans go nuts over a K by Maldy, you know they're desperate for good news.

[BrazilHorn 6586]

Paddack’s schtick of blowing his cheeks out/glaring at the batters is stupid.
