I'll take first AB of the game Altuve against any and all situations in which we really need him to drive in a run late. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Altuve gonna Altuve

[HOOKEM4 4949]

Altuve has never seen a pitch he didn't like.  Same as it ever was. We need Yordong to end this.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Let’s get 3 outs and let Yordan walk off this abomination

Yordan walk off or he joins Tucker after hammering his knee with a Kenley cutter

Not sure it’ll be anything in between

Oh wow.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Yainer!

[Mo Horn 8723]

Yainer walking it off 

[perfectchaos007 6542]

Buenos Diaz! He got a hold of that one!

[tx 3 putt 75570]

That’ll do 

[Scraps 13490]

Totalllly redeemed himself

[David Dennison 17804]

Rather crushed.

[HtownHorn 14344]

That's how you do it Yanier. That is how you redeem yourself after your poor play up until that point.

Orioles lost, only 3 losses behind them now.

Twins are losing at San Diego

Royals won.

[Hornsbay22 452]

Win ugly!!! Atta boy Yainer.

[Genghis 636]

I wonder if Yordan said "I missed a 92 mph center-cut meatball. Don't do what I did."

[HOOKEM4 4949]

Well I was one batter off. Fuck yeah!

[YChang 3394]

Well well well… that was nice

[Overlord 366]

So, will Bagwell teach Yainer the ins and outs of playing first base this offseason?

[UTexasFight 9304]

Ford: I can’t remember…the last time the Astros hit a big home run off Kenley Jansen.

sparks: it’s been a while 

[Harrison Stafford 3319]

Thank the Lord we didn’t waste another solid start from Kikuchi.  5 2/3 innings, one earned run, and seven strikeouts.

[Scraps 13490]

"What did Yordan tell you on your way up"

"He said homer or I will fuck you up and then fuck your mother....so I homered"

[tx 3 putt 75570]

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Good grief what a shitty game except the final. lol walkoffs are fun!

orioles lost, twins are losing, let’s go Dodgers

[runthebone 7894]

Listen to your friend Billy Zane...

 

 

It's a walkoff.

Twice…

and taking the first one down the middle 

 

and yeah, that’s basically what Yordan did tell him. “Watch the timing (of the release)”

I get it, but he's a good defensive catcher. I think the better move is go get a real 1B.

[tx 3 putt 75570]

Win the series tomorrow !!!!!!

To get through 6 innings once? Yes, I’d like that 

(even though dude got enough outs to get in to the 7th)

[Wulaw Horn 18919]

I love Yainer yall. 
thanks for playing maldy 125 games in the regular season and the entire playoffs Dusty you fucking cocksucking retard. 

[UTexasFight 9304]

11 out of 13… and still pissed at Espada for that series opener in Arlington and series opener against ChiSox preventing the winning streak from reaching a baker’s dozen 

[billfromlaketravis 11291]

Stole it, but I’ll take. Sox radio going to be fun tomorrow morning.’

[ChickenSandwich 9769]

[HtownHorn 14344]

We really need to call up Salazar, because this lineup needs Diaz and Caratini in the lineup every game from here on out, and team MVP needs to bat last if he's in the lineup at all.

Edited August 20 by HtownHorn

[UTexasFight 9304]

We’re 15 over since June 22, the best record in the majors in that time. A stretch that includes 0 HRs from Tucker. And 0 HRs from Yordan at home. 

[ChickenSandwich 9769]

Yainer tonight

 

[Gut Wagon 8039]

Has a guy ever auto-whiffed and then walked it off with a 400-footer on the next swing? Seems highly doubtful.

Why?

 

idiot tried to call time a 2nd time because he was still hot at the ump for missing his 11th pitch of the night

Rage inducing

Seems like every game he has multiple chances to score a runner from 3rd with less than 2 outs and either Ks or GIDP

But the big homer against mariners

[UTexasFight 9304]

Speaking of Mariners, I’d rather our current 4 through 9 than the mariners 1 through 9.

they appear to have our 10 run curse. get their week’s worth of runs on Sunday and then nothing the rest of the week:

12 runs against the Mets on Sunday night baseball last week and 9 runs the rest of the week.

10 runs yesterday and being 2 hit through 7 as dodgers hit 2 homers in the bottom of the 7th to go up 3-0 right now.

Despite wulaw and wbt's exuberance over a unsustainable 17 game stretch, this is who Jake Meyers has always been. A horrible offensive player that can't control the strike zone with elite tracking skills but with a shitty arm that is unplayable in late game situations. He's a 1 tool player and should have never been given the job on a full time basis.

The worst part is that he's grounded into 7 DPs in the 2nd half.

Edited August 20 by HtownHorn

[Scraps 13490]

Tried to tell yall Arozarena and Justin Turner wasn't gonna fix their shitty batting.....and yes to whoever wanted to comment after like 3 games that "we" (i think that was prob just me) were laughing at them getting Turner.

He's batting .188 with them. He sucks.

[UTexasFight 9304]

Could watch this all night. I love that on deck camera angle
