[Overlord 366]

Why do all players turn to shit when they come play for the Astros?

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 

I hate Chas McCormick batting in the 9th way more than Hader pitching in the 9th.

Four more years.

We're good at contracting.

Now I know why Correa and Springer didn’t get long term deals. And why Tuck won’t get one either. Maybe management is smarter than I thought. 

[David Dennison 18944]

The series going into and coming out of the break are pretty, pretty, pretty important.

Well. Espada the genius had burned his DH, another signature move

We need Caratini back to have 3 catchers.

Baseball is hard. It's extra hard when you can't score.

Ronel Blanco fucked out of making the AS team it looks like

[Scraps 13570]

Tucker made it of course

This one actually pisses me off. He’s our team MVP to this point in the season IMO. He’s a great story and absolutely deserves it on the numbers.

Yep. He should have been in over Ragans.

I get the whole need player from each team, but KC had Lugo and Salvy already so that doesn't even factor into that

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.

The Astros need to moneywhip whoever the Padres pitching coach is. That dude made Blake Snell into a Cy Young winner and Hader into the best closer in baseball last year. He might know a thing or two more than this Astros staff.

[UTexasFight 9523]

Mariners leave 9 on base the 8-10th innings without scoring a run and lose 5-4

still two back 

[Mez2 4025]

Alligator blood... hanging around

[Rockethorn1978 6102]

Just logged on to say the offense blows dick again and hader fucking sucks.

Sucks he didn’t get named tonight, but will quite surprised if he’s not on the roster come this time next week 

and at the end of the day no one counts if a guy was named an all star out of the gate or a replacement

Astros-Marlins probables:

Tues: RHP Ronel Blanco (8-3, 2.53) vs. LHP Trevor Rogers (1-9, 4.91)

Wednesday: LHP Framber Valdez (7-5, 3.84) vs. TBA (bullpen)

Thursday: TBA vs. RHP Roddery Muñoz (1-3, 5.48)

Let blanco goto 9-3 !

[Wulaw Horn 19147]

Bloss thursday absolutely seems the play. 

[n64ra 1087]

Is it possible for Hader to not give up a HR in the 9th?

This content is already known, but what a dumbass writer.

 

"Biggio led the American League in runs scored in 1995 and 1997. He was the AL's doubles leader in 1998 and 1999."

[BrickTop 477]

It’s almost like LMJ shouldn’t be included in any long term plans.

[David Dennison 18944]

Good start.

[tx 3 putt 77332]

[dr99 560]

Altuve playing with a purple hand, yet Tucker is being coddled like a baby.

[tx 3 putt 77332]

Ugh ….

 

[runthebone 8029]

Chazz has been so bad that he might hit into a 2-out triple play

I never lost faith in you, Chazzz

[David Dennison 18944]

Good job, Chas. You really needed that.

[tx 3 putt 77332]

 

[HOOKEM4 5040]

I get it, but it pisses me off that mattress Mack wears that dumbass hat but dares to have a house in the Austin area. Go build a castle in BCS if you want to rep those losers. Nooo, you come to my hood and do awesome fireworks shows then peddle your sleep sacks with that loser hat on.

[Scraps 13570]

Money Maton traded to the Mets

[runthebone 8029]

I'm surprised McCullers had what other pitchers call a "setback" but what he calls "Tuesday."

[David Dennison 18944]

Now I'm even more upset with Jake.

[runthebone 8029]

Time to go to the pen

90.7 fastball

[runthebone 8029]

Why leave him in for that extra batter, Espada, you dumbfuck

[tx 3 putt 77332]

Need runs 

Edited July 10 by tx 3 putt

[dr99 560]

Good thing the Marlins suck.

Espada needs Maldy to tell him when to take pitchers out.

Lock it down now

[runthebone 8029]

Good thing we have Hader to close it out

 

Still was a mistake to leave Blanco in after the HR

Single at 111 on a high slider

Out 1 on a good pitch

Fortunate to get GIDP on a shitty middle middle slider

9-3 >>> 8-3 

Hopefully he’s rested until that first game vs the Mariners

No insurance necessary, boys.  Save the runs for tomorrow if that is a thing.
