I actually wanted to fire Hinch a week into 2017. This year I’m being patient and giving him until May 1. 

Hell, I wanted to fire him in August.

Meatball coming up to pitch. Reddick is going to kick his ass. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

that's a start

[Pods 7551]

Crazy Commie Crush coming up. 

[HtownHorn 14668]

Bullpen needs defined roles and less over use.

[Gut Wagon 8065]

This ump thinks Glavine is pitching. 

[Mez2 4023]

I'm so off the marwin train

[Rimbo 25911]

[Gut Wagon 8065]

A HR here would be oso nice. 

[Pods 7551]

Up to Captain Caveman. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

ESPN announcer is just randomly throwing out Astros names now.  Sheesh.

Mike Gundy taking time to be the second base ump. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

This is our chance boys. Let’s make it happen!

[Pods 7551]

Nice hard slide by Reddick too. 

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Work a walk, big guy.

We’re not even a month into the season with only a couple guys you can actually somewhat be confident in, of course we don’t have defined roles yet. Not even to mention defined bullpen roles being generally phased out of the game in favor of matchups 

[Pods 7551]

Just get on base Jake. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Goddamn this ump

[Pods 7551]

That was fucking ball 4. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fucking bullshit.

[perfectchaos007 6626]

Umps were paid by the Rangers this series 

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Outside strikes by the dozen. Ugh

[David Dennison 18850]

There are a few guys on this team that need to be removed from the lineup moving forward.

 

[TexArcher 37770]

Man, fuck that fucking ump.  You should lose your job for that shit.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Ump was awful last 2 innings

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[Planet Houston 4930]

Oh fuck you Blue. 

[Guest]

I hate this umpire and his 4” wider plate to the left hand side for Ranger pitchers.

 

Way too common...

[Jimbaround 975]

Well that was bullshitty.

Ump was probably hungry.

[HtownHorn 14668]

This ump had a Gladdux zone going.

[Pods 7551]

The fact that a pitch that far off the plate is still called a strike 24% of the time makes a pretty good case for using technology to determine the strike zone. 

[Mez2 4023]

I'm out boys, see y'all in  2019

[perfectchaos007 6626]

Angels are surprisingly pulling away in the standings.

Exactly what it reminded me of. 90s umpire for the braves

[Jacob McCandles 202]

0-2 since D-Bag in green jacket threw out first pitch ...

[Honeysucklerose 987]

11-5 last year after 16
10-6 this year.

Just breathe.

[cabowabo 4484]

Ya'll chill. We got Keuchel going tomorrow.

The way we’re smacking the ball around, DK giving up 3 in the first couple innings won’t be hard at all to overcome....

[UTHornFan014 710]

What the hell happened to our bats?

Were we 3.0 games behind the Angels?

 

Doomed. 

[Player 4575]

I don’t know if Bartolo even touched 90mph last night. It seemed like his FB sat 84-88, and our guys just let him lay it up there for a first pitch called strike all night long. Maddening.

Today’s a new day. Let’s take the bat off our shoulders and see what happens.

[mbtex 683]

Time for Julia to eat some grasshoppers!!

Only bullpen decision this weekend that I found questionable was using Peacock over one of Harris/Devo in the 8th inning on Saturday considering the slew of LHB that were due up. 

[theaveragejon 988]

So does our offense wanna get going anytime soon?

And Jake needs a week to sit on the bench and refresh. That ball 4 call was a complete shit show however.

[Rockethorn1978 6072]

We are 10-6 and if we went 10-6 every 16 games we will end up with 100 wins. 

The freak out already is hilarious.

Going 10-6 against three of the presumed worst teams in MLB and Minnesota isn't that great.
