Ted!!  2-out rbis get you to heaven.

[Mo Horn 8937]

Not a good AB for breggy

[Gut Wagon 8219]

After the wild pitch, I assumed they'd throw a 3-2 pitch well off the plate to put Tucker on first and set up the RH-RH matchup. Glad they didn't.

Also Maldy is by far our most effective bunter.  He's the only one that ever does it.  Kind of surprised they didnt do it there.

Guys scored anyway...

Yeah, he usually gets them down when he tries.  He usually does it if there are runners on 1st and 2nd but he should be bunting pretty much anytime when a NL pitcher would have.

Good thing we're resting yordan tonight. Why would we need another big bat in the lineup tonight? And Maldonado still sucks in RBI opportunities. 

[WBT 20972]

3 frustratingly weak ABs after the first two got on.

[cabowabo 4689]

Lol. If you recall, Maldy lost quite a bit of weight in the off season and looked rather svelte (for him certainly) on opening day.  What the fuck does this guy do during the season when he is not striking out or letting passed balls go by?  Slam cheeseburgers and chocolate malts all day?  He is a true master of his craft. 

[Overlord 366]

Still clean

[Dutchrudder 11243]

Walked 1, and got him on a double play. Still a no no through 5 for Framber!

[Overlord 366]

Since Verlander and Maldy are so tight, does this mean Yanier won’t be catching him?

You've obviously never been in an MLB clubhouse.  It's a food orgy

Shit, now they gotta bitch handing out B-Vitamin’s on flights for “blood flow”. 
 

Somewhere the 86’ Mets are laughing.

Correct.

Camera adds 40lbs 

[WBT 20972]

How many cameras are on him?

The gear bulks him up 

not trolling again, but he’s getting another year 

[Overlord 366]

Framber got rid of the Mardi Gras beads and is back to the diamonds and white gold. 
 

it is working. 

[WBT 20972]

66 pitches

[Mo Horn 8937]

Abreu with the warning track power... although in any other park it's a lazy fly to not so deep left field

Myers with his typical shitty at bat with runners on base

[WBT 20972]

71 pitches

[WBT 20972]

Most trades with the Cardinals.  I would have guessed Padres or Phillies.

[Wulaw Horn 19595]

Maldy with the hat trick. May he not get up again to insure avoiding the golden sombrero. 

[RGBIII 23014]

6 more…

6 more runs tonight would be great.   That MUST be what you are talking about.

My thought was Philly....2nd

[mrhorn 1467]

[WBT 20972]

81 pitches.

7-8-9 due up

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Okay Dusty put in Pressley in the 9th to shut the door










/s

[runthebone 8376]

Should make it easier for him and score here.

[Sgt Hulk 14432]

I’m here to jinx the no no.  Fuk the stros.  Go rangers 

[Overlord 366]

If Shohei Ohtani is the best player ever, why does he have only one shitty assed New Balance commercial? He probably has 75 in Japan. 

[mrhorn 1467]

Anyone know why those top corner seats on the 3rd base side are always completely empty?

No pinch hitter??? 

[runthebone 8376]

Jeez, Verlander really does make this pitching staff better.

 

Congrats to Framber...for doing what Maldonado said to do.

[texashorne 1194]

FRAMBER

[tx 3 putt 78676]

The Framchise !

[Smax 3800]

hell yes

[Huckleberry 34635]

Oh man he hung that one. Worst pitch of the night to finish the no-hitter. 

Awesome

[rvm96 1643]

The Franchise!

[Halohal 525]

How about them apples 

[WBT 20972]

Somebody call the Framber-lamps!!!

[Mo Horn 8937]

NO-NO for Framber.
