If they don’t fuck up that  HR call, and that other one is a foul ball… and Whitley doesn’t come in, we’re right back in this thing!

[Scraps 13812]

I mean back-back-back homers to win it would be like cool and shit

[Guadaloopy 11139]

 Math is hard for TK.  Who gives a shit if the tying run is on deck.   

[UTexasFight 9819]

I think we got this

 

closers don’t like to get up when they think the game is over

 

they definitely don’t like having to come in to the game

I can’t help but think that somewhere in Mexico, Luhnow is lighting up a large cigar….and closing the chapter on that part of his life 

He has way too much class to be a chickenshit like that. He tweets out support for his former players. Bring the goat 🐐 home.

2 really good first 8 innings pitched the last two games completely wasted.

Baseball is stupid anyway.

Huh? I’m not saying he’s “toasting” Whitley not looking sharp.

i’m saying  I’m sure he’s happy/proud the dude he hung his hat on for so long is finally getting his shot.

Please don’t get swept tomorrow

At least the Horns are winning against UTRGV, right?   RIGHT?!

Holy crap. I just looks at the score…and box score…

11 walks?! 9 HBP?!

even the Astros bullpen is blushing at that. 

[David Dennison 19570]

Look on the bright side: we're only 3.5 back.

Thought you were saying he was happy with the implosion of the Astros. My bad. From the 🐐’s mouth.

I don’t care if you throw 100. If you throw it straight and right down the middle, major league hitters are going to crush it.

Well you mean besides our lineup when we have anyone on base.

I think the suite is paid for by a booze distributor so one would hope so.  Better be a lot.

Well, then sign Ken Griffey, Jr to a one-year contract.  Look at the back of his baseball card!  Can't miss.

Singleton has a 5 game hitting streak and is smacking the shit out of the ball even on groundouts.  Abreu has osteoporosis.  wtf.

[Scraps 13812]

I need Yordan to wake up

3 for his last 22 with 3 singles is not my standard.

[n64ra 1150]

I'm more concerned about the pitching.

Justin Verlander will come off the IL and start for the Astros on Friday in Washington.

[Scraps 13812]

So potentially Thursday in Chicago for the day game....that would rule

Damn you.

i wanted to see him in Mexico City…. But I’m sure he wants no part of that thin air and sure this was by design.

looks like it’ll be Blanco and Javier in Mexico City is rotation holds. I can live with that but also fully expect it’ll be completely reset with all of the off days coming and I’ll probably be stuck with France and Brown…

[tx 3 putt 78762]

 

[Scraps 13812]

 

Huh...Dana should look again

[tx 3 putt 78762]

Never forget ….

 

[tx 3 putt 78762]

Damn ….

Mauricio Dubon is hitting .636 (7x11) with runners in scoring position this season, which is the best in MLB

I'm losing my mind...what year is that Abreu card?   Because it looks exactly like a 1974 Topps...

Lol 2023...thats what Topps Heritage does is just reup the old years designs. This Altuve is the 2024 Topps Heritage which i think is 1975 design

Btw that Goldy was mailed out a couple days ago

[TexArcher 39078]

That is 100% the 1975 card.  I had the Mike Schmidt.

[UTexasFight 9819]

I need someone to learn me on baseball cards these days.

ive been out of that game for a looong time but my 9 yo is showing an interest and would love to get back in to it with him

Don't do it lol.

[Dutchrudder 11247]

Early game today, just started with a single off the first pitch by Acuna.  

Pirate stream for those that need it:  https://www.thestreameast.to/mlb/atlanta-braves-houston-astros-8/

Oh and now they called a balk on JP for his pickoff attempt at him, Acuna to second...
