Pondering getting tickets for my daughter and me for Wednesday's game, but SD fans last time we did it were shitty. And the only thing available are nosebleeds.

Pop that Kikuchi has his W-L record up to .500, 9-9.  He was 4-9 at the time of the trade.

[TejasPedro 1848]

You say, I say, we all say Kikuchi!

[Bevo&Pevo 4932]

Fridays over the Angels was the 5000th for the organization.

Yusei Kikuchi, Yordan Alvarez lead Astros past Angels 5-3 for Houston's 5,000th victory (msn.com)

Averaging 79 wins a season.. yay?

I guess it’s gotta be right at 81 by the time the season is over considering we’re 40 over .500 all-time. Covid year fucks up my maths

So, how would 5000/79 wins compare to the other teams who have accomplished it?  That is a big sample size.

Like our record (average), I think we’re middle of the pack on all-time franchise records (winning %)

I think the Phillies are the worst fwiw

 

edit: yep, 11th all-time winning %

I'm surprised cubs and guardians are as high as they are.

i’m guessing they crushed it circa McKinley /T Roosevelt administrations

It's true that they hate the Dodgers more than they like themselves.

It's like Boston with better weather.

There are worse “skills” for Japanese translators to have.  Or so I’ve heard.  

[Rimbo 25247]

Looks like there's only nosebleeds available, anyway; SD is good this year (well into WC territory and challenging the Dodgers for 1st place but, as always, in second) so tickets are in high demand.

Meh.

Team didn't start playing well until I stopped paying attention, I don't want to break the streak by starting to pay attention now.

[Scraps 13490]

[David Dennison 17800]

He's making the playoff decision easy.

[Scraps 13490]

There goes the no hitter lol

[Rockethorn1978 6059]

See we’re getting shitty jv again.

Routine

[Dutchrudder 11071]

112 mph exit velo on that bomb

[Scraps 13490]

[runthebone 7894]

This should all count in Josh Fields’s WAR

[tx 3 putt 75522]

[Scraps 13490]

Angels can blame that one on blue

[Hornsbay22 452]

Do y'all prefer the plant and cannon (Correa) or Quick release fling (Pena) from SS? 

[Scraps 13490]

I prefer everything Correa except speed and paycheck

[Dutchrudder 11071]

and injury status...

[kevwun 15336]

Correa’s throws were almost always perfect.

[David Dennison 17800]

JFC

[David Dennison 17800]

Please pull him.

[Scraps 13490]

Scott thanks for your first couple months....now stop pitching when we have a lead

[David Dennison 17800]

PULL HIM RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!!

[Gut Wagon 8038]

Good grief. HBP or not, yank this guy. 

[Rip76 4883]

Review it and pull him.

[tx 3 putt 75522]

did not hit him, he never fucking moved 

[David Dennison 17800]

Shouldn't have faced that batter in the first place.

 

[Scraps 13490]

I dont like Pressly with no one on, i sure dont like him with bases loaded
