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 1918]

You say, I say, we all say Kikuchi!

[Bevo&Pevo 5531]

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 27093]

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 13813]

JV no hitter tonight

[David Dennison 19571]

He's making the playoff decision easy.

[Scraps 13813]

There goes the no hitter lol

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

See we’re getting shitty jv again.

[Scraps 13813]

Routine

[Dutchrudder 11249]

112 mph exit velo on that bomb

[Scraps 13813]

[runthebone 8380]

This should all count in Josh Fields’s WAR

[tx 3 putt 78793]

[Scraps 13813]

Angels can blame that one on blue

[Hornsbay22 485]

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

[Scraps 13813]

I prefer everything Correa except speed and paycheck

[Dutchrudder 11249]

and injury status...

[kevwun 16450]

Correa’s throws were almost always perfect.

[David Dennison 19571]

JFC

[David Dennison 19571]

Please pull him.

[Scraps 13813]

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

[David Dennison 19571]

PULL HIM RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!!

[Gut Wagon 8219]

Good grief. HBP or not, yank this guy. 

[Rip76 5023]

Review it and pull him.

[tx 3 putt 78793]

did not hit him, he never fucking moved 

[David Dennison 19571]

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

 

[Scraps 13813]

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