That line up fucks. Let’s Go !!!!!

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Down 0-2 let’s change the lineup but keep Maldonado in. Makes sense.

[kevwun 15788]

Brantley might actually manage to get on base for Yordan.

Regardless of what happens this year, it is gonna be so nice next year not having to suffer through Maldonado any longer.

Not when Dusty sucks off Jimmy and gives Maldy a one year contract. 
 

It’s gonna happen.

He'll get signed as a "cheap, veteran backup" and Dusty will start him 70% of the time.

I’d auto walk Yordan, the next two games 

As a Rangers fan I completely agree; dude is like 2001-era Barry Bonds without the 14 1/2 hat size…

Let’s Fucking Go !!!

have to get to that BP early 

[cabowabo 4484]

Fuck the Rangers. 

[tx 3 putt 76956]

Damn, loooong out 

[cabowabo 4484]

Picked up right where we left off.

Damn that curve was nasty

 

[Guest]

getting lots of pitches from Scherzer...

 

Working the counts against a guy recovering from serious injury seems like a waste of time, no?

[Mo Horn 8840]

Ugh

[Smax 3800]

not the start we needed

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Stare down two pitches down the middle then swing when you know it’s a breaking ball in the dirt. Nice. More long pop outs. Rangers will come up and score 5 because they don’t stare don’t fastballs down the middle .

[Guest]

Hey if we zip through this game, maybe Dusty will have some leftover corny dogs for us  at the hotel room.

Over/Under of 20 on pitches Javier will throw this half inning. I have to take the over, but would love to be wrong.

That bottom 3 is gross.  But why would we want to start playing our best 9 now?

[cabowabo 4484]

Trying to get too cute with the pitch clock. 

[Mo Horn 8840]

Proved me wrong

[Rip76 4928]

Nice pitching 

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Finally nice to see a good start to a game in the pitching department

He did it last game too.  If it works, LFG!!!

[WBT 20570]

Altuve hitting the ball hard is encouraging.  That was a HR in 13/30 parks.

[Mo Horn 8840]

Not a fucking strike

[tx 3 putt 76956]

Fuck me 

[cabowabo 4484]

If he has to come out, then Seager needs one in the back. 

Edited October 19, 2023 by cabowabo

[WBT 20570]

Hopefully DHing will help with that foot.  I'm not sure if you want to ice it between ABs or try to keep it warm but either way has to be better than having to stand around in LF.

Maybe next spring.  It would still be stupid but at least it wouldn't hurt anything.

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Need to win and we’re still ducking not swinging. 

[WBT 20570]

Just want to point out I was never fooled by Abreu fool's gold last series.

[Mo Horn 8840]

I'll take a walk when Tuck is struggling

[cabowabo 4484]

Someone needs to step up right now. 

[tx 3 putt 76956]

Dubon !!!

[YChang 3444]

Aw crap, our kryptonite… bases loaded

[Mo Horn 8840]

We HAVE to score here

[tx 3 putt 76956]

Pena Time !!!

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Perfec time to get them loaded again

[Overlord 366]

Fucking Dubon. 
 

Most Improved Player of the Year

[YChang 3444]

I’ll take a walk here Pena, don’t do anything stupid

[WBT 20570]

Damnit, still holding guys at 3rd for the dp machines at the bottom of the order.  Not my windmill.

[Overlord 366]

God fucking dammit

[YChang 3444]

Sigh….

[cabowabo 4484]

Un. Fucking. Believable. 

[tx 3 putt 76956]
