You know this is going to end well

[David Dennison 19441]

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 13744]

Thank god Pena doesn't suck

[hornmpa96 2651]

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 9918]

Should have signed John Doubleton. 

[David Dennison 19441]

What the actual fuck?

[UTexasFight 9787]

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

get lucky, Chas

Turrible

[David Dennison 19441]

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK???

[hornmpa96 2651]

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

[David Dennison 19441]

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 8322]

This ump sucks, haha

[David Dennison 19441]

Cherry on top.

[Wishbone 4924]

Welp, there it is.

[Rip76 5009]

Haha what a bitch.

[UTexasFight 9787]

Can’t make this up 

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

That dude blows so much

[tx 3 putt 78469]

7-3 >>> 6-4

Probably they recognize they are at home

[Mez2 4041]

Fuck this fucking game. 

[tx 3 putt 78469]

Good road trip, not great 

[Scraps 13744]

That Verhader

[runthebone 8322]

Maybe Hader should take the seventh.  Seriously

[David Dennison 19441]

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

[tx 3 putt 78469]

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 4041]

McCormick has no business being on this team. 

[HtownHorn 15243]

Hader fucking sucks.

[hornmpa96 2651]

Of course

[tx 3 putt 78469]

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 482]

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 6766]

Hader gives up a dinger in just about every appearance. 

[Pimphand 6266]

Its remarkable how stupid Espada is

[BrickTop 482]

Josh “The Mulligan”Hader

I hope they're entertaining offers for him.

[UTexasFight 9787]

Man.

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

[Mo Horn 8933]

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

[Mez2 4041]

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 9918]

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

Four more years.

We're good at contracting.

[tx 3 putt 78469]

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 482]

Blanco has only given up 5 more HR than Hader.
