Is he a good pinch hitter?

[cabowabo 4484]

Damn, we are swinging at some bad pitches. 

[Mo Horn 8832]

Might as well let Maldy hit. Save the PH for later. 

[UTexasFight 9432]

I’m half shocked he didn’t pull diaz back once penas was retired and that spot isn’t the tying run

Nope.

He should have

Diaz will bat again tonight.

Bet.

[cabowabo 4484]

Let’s just hope we don’t get headcase Framber tomorrow.

No but Maldy is out for today. Should have double switched Brantley and Diaz but Dustard can't play checkers 

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

Welp, after his terrible AB’s in Minny that wasn’t awful. Story of the night- nothing going our way. 
Brantley to Ph in 9th for Dubon if we get there?  

[LCHorn 2617]

Pinch hitting there for Maldy is a giant “fuck you” from Dusty to all Astros fans.

Hero ball.  It in the MMP way.   See home record.

[MirrOlure 14767]

First pitch swinging against a world class shitty bullpen….ugh

He should have PH'd Brantley there and double switched Diaz in at the plate.

Common Sense 101 but we can't do basic algebra at this point...

Brantley is your best bullet probably as a PH. Save him for a spot you can tie the game maybe?  I’d have done it your way though.

Because it will be vs a RHP in the 9th. You want Brantley up then imo over Dubon. If there’s one out and a dude on I might let Dubon hit, PH Brantley for Peña and then move Chas to CF and Dubon to SS if there’s extras.

Chapman warming up 

[Pimphand 5738]

Obi-shitty-wan in the Rangers pen!

[Mo Horn 8832]

Can't believe he's bringing in Chapman

[WBT 20564]

Top of the order up.  Time to go get 'em Astros.

[perfectchaos007 6635]

Chapman pitching gives us our best chance of the game to do something on offense. If we don't, its over

[TexArcher 37774]

Come on, bats, fuck's sake, let's god damned go!!

There's nobody on base...

Pena

Dubon for me if there’s 2 outs. Peña if not. 

[cabowabo 4484]

Lulz. That was a strike. 

Man, they really don’t have anyone else to bring in except Chapman?

[perfectchaos007 6635]

pray for wild chapman

[Limp Brisket 546]

Clearly it was a ball.  Nice call Blue!

Yeah. About that

[Guest]

LOL.  Chapman didn't have to face his bogeyman.

 

But the crew awaits.

 

LFG!!!

[runthebone 7979]

Chapman time?

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

He’s been really good behind the plate but the two worst misses have both been huge and in our favor. He blew the 3-2 call or we’d be down 3-0. That gives us life late. 

[rvm96 1643]

Poor framing by the catcher there.

[runthebone 7979]

He hasn't been giving the low strike most of the game.

[LCHorn 2617]

Judging purely by the frequency that Altuve clears his nose, only Patrick Ewing generates more boogers. 

[Guadaloopy 10962]

[WBT 20564]

Not locating his fastball.  That's what led to him hanging the famous obviously coming slider to Altuve

[Mo Horn 8832]

FUUUUUUUUUUK. ME

[Pimphand 5738]

God fucking damnit!

[perfectchaos007 6635]

damn. Texas has been on their defensive A game

[TexArcher 37774]

Fùuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[Dutchrudder 11138]

lol, just isn't our night...

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

Not our night. 

[WBT 20564]

Damn, Bregs doesn't hit many out if he doesn't pull it all the way into the Crawford boxes

[UTexasFight 9432]

Of course Altuve TOOTBLAN would make this a complete night 

[runthebone 7979]

Oh, damn

[cabowabo 4484]

Altuve you fucking idiot. 

[Celery Man 20935]

Jeezum pete

That wasn't a great catch. It was a deep fly he was under
