You know this is going to end well

[David Dennison 18860]

Can our old AF 8th inning guy keep them from scoring with a man on first and second and no outs?

Let's watch!

Whew! Got out of that.

[Scraps 13561]

Thank god Pena doesn't suck

[hornmpa96 2618]

Let’s fucking win this thing in the 9th and go home with another series win!

I don't understand why he didn't. He is actually one of the few guys on the team with some experience getting bunts down (when he randomly tries to bunt for hits). 

We have to be one of the worst teams in the league at small balling a run in when we get a guy on 2nd with no outs. 

We might still miraculously win this one, but if so, it won't be because we're brilliant. 

[ChickenSandwich 9836]

Should have signed John Doubleton. 

[David Dennison 18860]

What the actual fuck?

[UTexasFight 9450]

That was an impressive walk after falling behind 1-2 on 2 filthy pitches 

get lucky, Chas

Turrible

[David Dennison 18860]

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK???

[hornmpa96 2618]

Why does Chas hit there? At this point, I would rather see Cabbage take an at-bat there.

[David Dennison 18860]

We really don't have anyone else better than Chas McCormick there? 

Really?

REALLY???

I still don't get using Hader in these situations at all.  Has Espada ever explained it?  He's an idiot, isn't he

twins used their closer, is the surly twins thread raging about that one ?

[runthebone 7982]

This ump sucks, haha

[David Dennison 18860]

Cherry on top.

[Wishbone 4760]

Welp, there it is.

[Rip76 4928]

Haha what a bitch.

[UTexasFight 9450]

Can’t make this up 

[Honeysucklerose 989]

That dude blows so much

[tx 3 putt 76958]

7-3 >>> 6-4

Probably they recognize they are at home

[Mez2 4023]

Fuck this fucking game. 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Good road trip, not great 

[Scraps 13561]

That Verhader

[runthebone 7982]

Maybe Hader should take the seventh.  Seriously

[David Dennison 18860]

That was a shitty, shitty baseball game for the good guys.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Catch 22, someone else gives up that hr … 

surly thread - why didn’t we use Hader !!!!!!! Fire espada !!!!!

Edited July 7 by tx 3 putt

[Mez2 4023]

McCormick has no business being on this team. 

[HtownHorn 14682]

Hader fucking sucks.

[hornmpa96 2618]

Of course

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Hopefully we have a stadium to play in on Tuesday….

Because they know regardless of what we did that top half, they will have last at bat. 

[BrickTop 477]

Can’t use our closer unless we are up more than 4.

many many surly posters will die on that Chas hill if we dfa him 

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Hader gives up a dinger in just about every appearance. 

[Pimphand 5750]

Its remarkable how stupid Espada is

[BrickTop 477]

Josh “The Mulligan”Hader

I hope they're entertaining offers for him.

[UTexasFight 9450]

Man.

they retired 16 in a row and we only got 2 hits after we got up 2-0 in the first?

[Mo Horn 8841]

Just trade Hader, then bring back Whitley and make him the closer. Can't be any worse. 

[Mez2 4023]

Now, I have to go home and hang out with my family for the next couple of days while a hurricane pummels us. 

Fuck. No baseball tomorrow, no Alma. No nothing. 

Tonight I'm not going to bang some Maze.

Almost

8 in 39 appearances

 

He gave up 3 all of last year.

the 8 matches the total he gave up for all of 2022.

He’s on pace to match the 15 he gave up in 2019.

[ChickenSandwich 9836]

Line-up today was a hope and a prayer for runs. AAAA

Four more years.

We're good at contracting.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Of the guys available today … Who should pitch 9th on the road, tied game ?

Top of the ninth, two guys on, do you get Hader ready or go with your guy ?

Hader is ready, do you sit him or bring in someone else ?

 

lot to go through. IMO if you get Hader up and he’s ready, you bring him in instead of sitting him 

[BrickTop 477]

Blanco has only given up 5 more HR than Hader.
