You just hope the lineup can score enough runs to support our fifth or sixth best starter

Thanks, Disney.

When the hell is Sparks back?

[tx 3 putt 76958]

ohh shit, tucker on base 

this guy is throwing all fastballs 

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

JV shit inning as usual.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

fucking JV !!!!!

[David Dennison 18860]

The conversation with JV about his spot in the playoffs will be awkward.

3 hard hit balls 

wait, is that a free chick fil a !??????

[UTHornFan014 710]

I would not have JV pitch any meaningful innings in the playoffs... unless he somehow figures it out the next few starts

[oh_snap 694]

The Disney - Directv bullshit saving me from watching this I guess

You can always listen!

There is no way you can pitch him in the playoffs the way things are now. Sounds like he needs to go to the IL with a season ending 'injury. "

[runthebone 7982]

Maybe 262 wins is a realistic goal

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

He’s getting destroyed then settles down and looks good then back to shit and guys smash him for dingers.

[BrickTop 477]

Anyone else noticing any contact made sounds like a damn explosion on this broadcast?

It's almost like he's 41.

I hate that about ESPN.

[HOOKEM4 5037]

They have microphones in the baseballs.

Diaz and Caritini keep calling the gopher ball--must mean the problem is the catcher.

Not at this rate 

[runthebone 7982]

8-0 soon?

[HOOKEM4 5037]

Can we pull him now?

[David Dennison 18860]

Not gonna lie.

I'm kind of sad.

Bagwell on the first homer after ford commented Diaz set up looking for that pitch down:

”you said Diaz looking for that down, but JV is used to pitching up in the zone. Has done that his whole career.”

🤦‍♂️

maybe the catcher recognizes he’s 41 and can’t blow it by people anymore

Good call.

[YChang 3444]

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Damn. It’s over for JV

[runthebone 7982]

He is not even lasting long enough to build up arm strength.

[UTexasFight 9450]

I miss when we could hit grand slams 

[TonyTexas 10514]

I am very happy that JV’s option for next year won’t kick in, even with the Mets paying half. He’s done. 

[UTexasFight 9450]

Just now getting up Ferguson?!

[Harrison Stafford 3335]

He’s cooked.

[Overlord 366]

Go ahead and pull him. Before he gets on the IL for another 35 days

Father Time is undefeated. 

[UTexasFight 9450]

Wow. Only the 4th slam JV has ever given up.

first in 14 years 

[Overlord 366]

What was that gold flag above the 22 banner?

oh. I forgot.

Maybe.

but hopefully just still finding his groove. doesnt have the feel for the breaking stuff yet. And fastball control is garbage right now. 
hit your spots and might be serviceable 

[Gut Wagon 8071]

Repeatedly punked by a AAAA ginger is not our standard. 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

he has a couple more starts to find it 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

rams / lions will be good 😁

Same here.  My son got tickets for us to attend game 2 of the 2017 ALCS with the Yankees.  Watched JV strike out 13 batters and we won it in the bottom of the ninth.  The best baseball game I’ve watched in person.  I hope, I hope, I hope he gets it together.  As my stock broker says, “ I’m cautiously optimistic.”

[tx 3 putt 76958]

only 6 down !!!!

[Slacks 6821]

Someone hit Smith

[David Dennison 18860]

OK, Chas.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

6 down
