Funny how that works

This could be the most important game of the year tonight. Need to win this series

well now that eduardo is injured (not sure how bad it is), we need a new list.  i think jp sears should be on that list.

That take is soft AF.  It's completely out of touch with reality.  No real person gives a shit about that tweet by the Astros.  And those that do think it was funny.  

The best part is there isn't a single reply to this on twitter that agrees with him

Clanton did it right...again:

No doubt he's going to PH for Machete in a critical situation...ok, some doubt.

That's because it was.  That little "Estimated Ump Zone" and the fact that it's based off the error range the MLBUA uses makes it almost always worse than what they say.  It's a good viewpoint though.  Basically says that he's 85% of what is within the margin of error.  Not he's 85% of correct based on the accurate zone.  

[kevwun 15595]

Yeah, they get a 2" cushion on the inside and outside corner so almost nothing close gets counted against their score.  I read an article that used a bad Angel Hernandez game as an example.  Umpire evaluators said his accuracy rate was 85.3% in that game, but his MLB score was 96.12%.

Get your votes in !!!

having france/bialek vs gray/ryan was the best case scenario for the twins, and we should be 2-0 right now.  need good hb for the series tomorrow then get framber and cj to open vs anaheim.  let's go.

 

I keep thinking the pumpkin is about to bust on the young arms, but this coaching staff keeps them going. dusty matched up bielak with salazar and they were bff's the past two days. whatever works.

Arrighetti, then! 

[kevwun 15595]

99 at the knees.  That was a Cole special.

[Mo Horn 8795]

Good job on the batter for dragging that one out and making Brown throw too many pitches 

[Mo Horn 8795]

Shocking I know, but another shitty HPU missing strikes. 

[tx 3 putt 76159]

Damn rook !

[Mo Horn 8795]

Amazing how one pitch that barely hit the dirt, so wasn't a K, totally affects a pitcher. Brown still hasn't shaken it off and has given up 2 hits. Baseball

[Scraps 13531]

Going full LMJ here

[Mo Horn 8795]

Rookies gonna rookie. He's lost his focus. 

[WBT 20397]

Tucker not helping his RAA

[henrygandorf 29174]

remember when yainer used to catch hb and he went 7ip, 0er 3/4 starts?  i remember.

[cabowabo 4449]

Bielak > Brown

[Mo Horn 8795]

Gotta pull him. He's not going to recover. Baseball is an amazing game, albeit frustrating when it goes against you. 

[Wishbone 4731]

Hunter dishing out a little “Brown 25” this inning (feel free to Google). Hope he can clean it up.

[WBT 20397]

Fucking sequencing.  Put one each of these bleeders in the first 2 innings and move one of the Ks to this inning and it looks a lot different

Mushinski up

[Mo Horn 8795]

Batters didn't do Brown any favors there. Barely gave him time to get a drink.

Chas can't swing on 1-0 there.  Meyers and Maldy both took strike one at least

[Mo Horn 8795]

How did that no get out? 

[rvm96 1643]

I thought it was gone with the pitchers reaction

[WBT 20397]

Damn that looked good.  Pitcher thought it was out.

out in yankee stadium and philly 

[Mo Horn 8795]

Fuck

[Guadaloopy 10903]

That was quite the blue ball inning.  

[Gut Wagon 8052]

At 98 pitches through 4.1? Go get him. 

[tx 3 putt 76159]

not the best first pitch

[HtownHorn 14446]

Dusty was mailing in this game from the beginning.

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Answer is Marwin.  

This game sucks.  

[Focht Up 631]

I'd trade jose abreu right now for a half eaten ham sandwich
