Manufacture!

Feels like that's the first time in about 10 throws into center this year that our basestealer has seen it and got up and gone to 3rd.

[WBT 20411]

Bregman's ops is up from .534 to .599 today.  Nearing the Maldonado line.

Wow, once in a blue moon type game for Bregs, great to see. 

[HtownHorn 14468]

Pressly should be traded. He's redudant with Hader and Abreu.

[thetruth 149]

Saw the Orioles were asking about Pressley. At this point- we gotta at least hear them out right?

Damn what was Brown looking for?

[HtownHorn 14468]

Bregman and Alvarez each with 2 hits. 3rd time all season that has happened in the same game. So far, we are 2-0 in those games.

Someeebody wants to be back in the cleanup spot…

[Storm the Field 5271]

Alright, 9-2. Let's wrap it up.

[Dutchrudder 11113]

Ughhh... weak throw, but Singleton has to come off the bag to get the ball too

I'm sure Bregman appreciates that error.

When do playoff tickets go on sale?  Is Academy staying open late tonight?

[Storm the Field 5271]

9-6 in our last 15. Just keep stringing together more W's than L's and let the chips fall where they may.

[WBT 20411]

Arighetti gets his first win!

[Snake Diggity 4614]

Bregman’s ops went from .534 to .615 in one game.

She’s ok. It’s not Kalas is a some HOF announcer. 

Yeah I thought she did as well as anyone could expect her to do. It's not an easy job. Good for her.

[Dutchrudder 11113]

3 strikeouts by Taylor Scott to end the game is nice. 6 games back from the division lead is doable. Lucky that the whole division is winnable if things can keep going this way.  

[WBT 20411]

I only caught the last few innings on tv but I thought Julia was good

Episode 62 up. It’s not a work of art but neither is the subject matter.

🤔🤔🤔🤔

The Astros have scored 5.5 runs per game since Jeremy Peña initially moved into the cleanup spot at Yankee Stadium last Wednesday. 

Houston is 4-2 over that span, during which Peña also has made two starts as the No. 2 hitter.

[tx 3 putt 76294]

Alex Bregman’s exit velocity plus results last night:

-98.3 MPH - home run
-104.4 MPH - home run
-96.7 MPH - double

Brown wanted, Henderson, Holliday, Rutschman in a three team trade

Whitesox trade Maldy

Astros trade Pressly, Bregs, Caratini  

Whitesox get, Rutschman, Henderson, Holliday

Baltimore gets Bregman, Pressly, and Carotini 

Astros get Maldy

This has been around my consistent number of like to see. If we could score 5/6 a game consistently we would be in second place easily. 1-3 a game is where we’ve been and why we suck so bad. We’re due a turn around now.

[UTexasFight 9375]

Whoa. Two straight starts for Meyers

 

 

[HtownHorn 14468]

Holy shit, Espada just can't stop tinkering.

[UTexasFight 9375]

Also, I was today years old when I learned Meyers, born in Omaha in 1996, middle name is Berkshire.

whats the story with that?

his parents make a ton of money following the Oracle of Omaha? Or just big fans?

Maybe Dusty had nothing to do with the lineup cards last year.

I assume this is because of a LHP starting today (moving singleton down) but who knows.

Line ups should be based on the starting pitcher

 yeah that looked like some weak ass effort

[Scraps 13538]

Speaking of balls that should be caught

[Limp Brisket 546]

Oakland’s defense has been awesome.

[Smax 3800]

awful chase Yordan

[hornmpa96 2598]

I wish they would give Singleton a day off against a left-handed starter and let Caratini play first.

[Guadaloopy 10917]

So close to immaculate.  

[WBT 20411]

Gotta be the shoes headband

[Macklemore 2871]

BREGMAN another HR
