3 in a row

I've been to 2 games this year, 2 Caratini walkoffs

[runthebone 8015]

Breathing down Oakland's neck!

[UTexasFight 9504]

Now to hear what Laz has to say after the game 

[Scraps 13565]

Hopefully knocked out Miller for tomorrow too 

Tv said he hadnt pitch in the next two games this season when he goes 2 innings...so we may not see him again

Of course Kalas prob needs to be fact checked

[perfectchaos007 6675]

Caratini is the only guy who can win an extra inning game for Houston

I checked.

it’s true 

But it’s also only happened 3 times before tonight. And only once did they have games the next two days.

Mariners are losing to KC in the 7th right now too, might be the only team in the division to win today.

[Scraps 13565]

Michael Bourn english is be good

[UTexasFight 9504]

Let’s get that L10 above .500 for the first time all year tomorrow!

[Scraps 13565]

Bourn keeps referring to some skank hoe he used to dick down...."rosalyn"

It's rosin dumbass

[wood 11227]

So, rosin mixed with sweat inside his glove? I had no idea rosin is illegal on the non-throwing hand. Why is that illegal?

[HtownHorn 14726]

Man we give Brown and Arrighetti shit, but damn Jack Leiter. 16.39 era so far 17 ERs through 9.1 IP over 3 GS so far.

If you added Brown and Arrighetti's era together it is still less than Leiter's.

Edited May 15 by HtownHorn

[Storm the Field 5295]

A walk-off in extras despite our pitcher getting ejected after 3 IP and going 0-9 with RISP in regulation? Hader comes in and throws 2 spotless innings, stranding the ghost runner in the Top of the 10th?

Things seem to legitimately have changed for us. That's a game we lose 100% of the time back in April.

How do they determine if it was rosin vs spidertack?  GC/mass spec?

Ford pointed out that he took his first ML loss tonight, almost like he was congratulating him.  I laughed

Rosin + Sweat = white

I mean, that's a given! But why is it legal on the throwing hand but not on the glove hand?

That just makes no sense at all. 

[WBT 20618]

Maybe it was deep woods off.  Mosquitoes have been hot.

[tx 3 putt 77093]

 

[wood 11227]

This is a year old, but it might as well have been written tonight, replacing Max Scherzer's name with Ronel Blanco's. Apparently what had been legal for the whole game suddenly became illegal based on an Ump's judgement of level of stickiness. So fucking stupid. There were already problems with this enforcement for years, and it's still a complete shitshow. 

 

Major League Baseball has a sticky stuff enforcement problem
Max Scherzer's ejection highlighted the inconsistencies in MLB's regulation of pitchers' use of grip-enhancing substances

M's lost and Angels just lost.  We gain a game on errbody.

[wood 11227]

Being only 5.5 back after this start is just insane.

[Snake Diggity 4625]

Say what you want about the move to the AL, but playing in the AL West has been a godsend for the last 10 years.

[uoftorange 1386]

Stat of the day: 1. Player in Astros history to have extra-base hits in five consecutive at-bats: Alex Bregman on Monday and Tuesday, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

[tx 3 putt 77093]

We’ll be down a player for 10 games
