So you’re saying the greatest righthander in history can’t pitch an inning of relief and come back two days later with a perfecto? Overrated. 

[TonyTexas 10,587]

The Astros pitching is historic. Go browse this stat page. So many crazy numbers. One that stand out is BAA against this staff is .196

Here’s the other side of the coin. The Indian’s bullpen ERA is 6.23 after tonight.

Run differential! The Astros have it!

+125. is that good?

 

[TexArcher 38,449]

This staff is absurd.

Keuchel's on a 3.39 ERA and if the playoffs started today he'd probably be a Game 4 starter and Game 7 reliever.

Pretty sure we're still the favorite to win the whole...  fuckin'...  thing...

[UTexasFight 9,661]

Team ERA was 2.39 coming in to this series, I believe... and after 18 innings it’s come down even more.

 

[UTexasFight 9,661]

Cream rising to the top. 8-2 in last 10
Best in the bigs

[UTHornFan014 722]

Watching the Indians Bullpen these last two games makes me feel like our bullpen wasn't so bad (in the playoffs) last year.

I feel like that should be some sort of WWE match, like a hell in a cell, rage in a cage, painus in the anus, type of showdown. 

 

[Gut Wagon 8,153]

Hope Lance can keep dealing today. Blow these guys out again and put a little more pressure on the Trevster manana. 

[runthebone 8,183]

Team is playing better.  Cleveland's pen used to be so dominant.  Went from sugar to shit in two seconds, as my Masshole friend used to say.

[UTexasFight 9,661]

Didn’t get to watch the onslaught last night but sooo good to see the offense do what it did so many times last year: just absolutely punishing bullpens...and doing it in a hurry (and it seemingly started Memorial Day weekend last year with that trip to Minnesota)

Make both pitchers bat DH on Sunday.

That's the only thing left to do...

Through 52 games, the Houston Astros have scored 96% more runs (255) than they have allowed (130).

That is the greatest run ratio by a major league team at the 52-game mark since the 1905 New York Giants.

Imagine if we’d actually been hitting halfway decent every night.

Astros players channeling their inner Wes Welker...

 

Taking those comments into account, the Astros showed just how "special" they are as a team Thursday.

To prove it, Houston mandated every single player insert the word "special" into any answer they had for reporters after a 8-2 win over the Indians, where Clevinger allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings.

Setting the perfect example was the normally reserved Charlie Morton who won his 10th straight decision dating back to last season Thursday.

"It was an absolute team win," said Morton. "It's pretty fun to be a part of this special team."

[Gut Wagon 8,153]

Clevenger, on the other hand, does seem a little “special.”

[Guest]

In 5 games, the Astros have outscored the Tribe 30-11, so their run margin jumps 50% better than when the Astros play the rest of the League.

 

Cleveland...don't you ever stop being you.

God damn you Slorch! You fucking asshole! Everything’s a fucking travesty with you man. And what the fuck was all that shit about Tech? What the FUCK has anything got to do with Tech? What the fuck are you talking about?

[Guest]

It is absolutely relevant, with regard to "loaded" interview answers.  It also has ZERO to do with Texas Tech, other than that being Wes' alma mater.

Sensitive much?  Why not just fucking laugh?  Are you special like Clevenger?

 

Regarding Rex Ryan's foot fetish:

Figured a strained neck would be the bigger issue.

[TexArcher 38,449]

I was excited for a rare Astros game on tv in Austin.  Fuck you, rain.

[Gut Wagon 8,153]

I was lamenting that here in the ATL, Fox has already decided I wanted the Angels vs. Yankees anyway. 

[Mez2 4,037]

Pinche rain

[Dr. Teeth 5,863]

Get a retractable roof, poors.

I'm deeply disturbed by their lack of tops dropping

Jesus, Barria's thrown 5 pitches and 2 of them went a mile each.

both of those were bombs 

 

any updates on starting time in Cleveland ?

[TexArcher 38,449]

Doppler looks like another 30-60 minutes of rain?

[tx 3 putt 78,010]

Houston Astros

5 mins · 

‪Tarp coming off, first pitch scheduled for 7:15pm CT. 

[TexArcher 38,449]

Yeah, that Doppler was 20 minutes behind real time.  Good.  Goooooooood.

[tx 3 putt 78,010]

joe buck and john smoltz are both chocking on yankee cock, fuck me

2018 Yankees v The Greatest Armies in History !!!

[TexArcher 38,449]

Yeah, Joe Buck uses a Don Mattingly bobblehead as a dildo.

[Guest]

Joe Buck calls his nether region the Didi Clitorius.

[TonyTexas 10,587]

Fox is so stupid. Bases loaded with Ohtani up and they break away for a 5 minute intro to our game. Heidi.

[TonyTexas 10,587]

Let’s work the counts and get to that shitshow bullpen. Yum yum.

[TexArcher 38,449]

Nice to see Altuve get a knock and a steal.  Need to get him going.

[Jshep34 2,386]

good job marwin. Correa needs to get his game going

[Gut Wagon 8,153]

Man, I’m glad the Yankees have Sonny Gray. He’s dreadful. 

[Guest]

So Gattis averaged 25 HR a game early in his career?

How can people who get paid to speak about the game say shit that is so stupid?

Well that was poor.
