Dammit
Tuve should have had the DP

Shame.

[UTexasFight 9431]

JV: Last 13 IP, 2 hits, 16 Ks.

Fucker is still yapping.

He plays for the White Sox.

[runthebone 7967]

McCann must be exhausted.

[Dr. Teeth 5844]

Springer is on fire.

Has he been running through your mind all night?

Fuck White over Gattis at DH. 

 

You dont break into the majors at DH and despite yesterday's atrocities on the base paths, El Oso Blanco has proven invaluable when the shit hits the fan.

Gattis earned himself far more than 20 games this season with his home run against the Yankees in game 7 of the ALCS last year

Gattis was near negative WAR last year and he’s not looking any different this year. A good AB against a team doesn’t wash away everything else. We’re not seeing anything from Gattis that indicates he’s not a high parabola player. Rapid ascent and descent. Nostalgia is worthless and Luhnow knows it. Going to be interesting to watch if Gattis doesn’t improve markedly through Memorial Day.

Need to give Fisher at least another month. He has talent.  Bregman started slow too.

I get it, but one guy isn’t always another. We’re not seeing a lot from either hole in the OF between JM and Fisher, so sending him down for a break might help.

showerrea !!!!

[runthebone 7967]

Hats for bats.  Keep bats warm.  

[Dr. Teeth 5844]

Showrrea!!!

Let's run-rule these fools.

[TonyTexas 10510]

I guess the bats have woken up.

[UTexasFight 9431]

We good

[henrygandorf 29189]

well that was a dicey week, but hopefully the ship has been righted.

[softlynow 1814]

Are there any interesting position-player-as-pitcher options for the Sox?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

I'd like to have Abreu at DH

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

What happened to Altuve?

 

[henrygandorf 29189]

so lmj gave up a solo shot to cano in the 1st on tuesday.  that was the last er given up by our starters.

looks like 26 consec innings heading into dk tomorrow, assuming jv is done for the night.

he passed out in the dugout

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Ugh. Get well, son.

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

We look good in ski masks.  Need to crank up the AC in MMP going forward.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Another Marisnick strike out

[elfenix 34229]

showrrea x2

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Twice as nice

[Dr. Teeth 5844]

Showrrea double feature. 

[tx 3 putt 76901]

#showrea !!!!!

[WBT 20561]

Showrrea

[Mez2 4023]

Starting to make consistent contact, encouraging signs

[elfenix 34229]

think you could get a middle reliever for bregman?

[TexArcher 37772]

Nice to see Carlos getting some dingers.

17 RBI in 21 games seems good, too.

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

What a long way we've come when we're 14-7* and have quite a bit to complain about. Not that it isn't justified at all, just that it's nice to have a team playing .667 baseball and wonder what's going wrong.

[WBT 20561]

26 runs our last 3 games

is that good ?

[Dr. Teeth 5844]

Wish we could have gotten those two runs in the 9th now. 

[Dr. Teeth 5844]

#14!!!

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

Phew. We survived another Giles attempt to blow the ga....nvm.

Good win against a bad team.

I'm not saying to keep playing him if he goes 60 games hitting the same way, but 20 games is too shot a time for him. Springer was barely above .200 until this last week.
