Is he a good pinch hitter?

[cabowabo 4452]

Damn, we are swinging at some bad pitches. 

[Mo Horn 8807]

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

[UTexasFight 9379]

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

He should have

Diaz will bat again tonight.

Bet.

[cabowabo 4452]

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 18980]

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 2585]

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 14625]

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...

Why pull tonight's best bat?

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 5596]

Obi-shitty-wan in the Rangers pen!

[Mo Horn 8807]

Can't believe he's bringing in Chapman

[WBT 20418]

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

[perfectchaos007 6596]

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

[TexArcher 37508]

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 4452]

Lulz. That was a strike. 

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

[perfectchaos007 6596]

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 7932]

Chapman time?

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

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 7932]

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

[LCHorn 2585]

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

[Guadaloopy 10921]

[WBT 20418]

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

[Mo Horn 8807]

FUUUUUUUUUUK. ME

[Pimphand 5596]

God fucking damnit!

[perfectchaos007 6596]

damn. Texas has been on their defensive A game

[TexArcher 37508]

Fùuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[Dutchrudder 11115]

lol, just isn't our night...

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

Not our night. 

[WBT 20418]

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

[UTexasFight 9379]

Of course Altuve TOOTBLAN would make this a complete night 

[runthebone 7932]

Oh, damn

[cabowabo 4452]

Altuve you fucking idiot. 

[Celery Man 20883]

Jeezum pete

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