We all knew that was gonna happen in a game like this. Wasted a great outing by Cole.

[Gut Wagon 8219]

Brad has rhymed with bad lately. 

[Mez2 4048]

Thanks Brad

Peacock has 9 meltdowns this year coming in to tonight.

For comparison, he had 0 last year. And everybody’s favorite whipping boy, Giles, has 8 last year and this year combined (only 3 this season).

[Mez2 4048]

That's a horse shit call there

[Stros 153]

MLB loves 80yo umps who suck dick!

Fuck off Bud!!

goddamn it

[Mo Horn 8943]

These are the typical games we've lost this year. Bats are ice cold and we waste a great outing by the starter. Hopefully we can find some more late inning magic.

Ted seems to be having trouble beating the Ted shift so far

Peacock has been bad, no doubt. These past two years, he’s gone opposite of the expectations. With that in mind, I’m going to start expecting him to be awful.

Who the fuck is Lou Trivino and how can we get him in our bullpen?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Now would be a good time for the bats to wake up.

[WBT 21001]

That was an interesting graphic - 2 Astros and 2 A's in the top 5 in AL reliever ERA.  Unfortunately they've used theirs tonight and we haven't.

[Stros 153]

Springer with 2 hits tonight. I like it

you use your best relievers when you're leading, typically.

Ugh, ugly game. Didn't like this series going in and this wasn't a good start. Flush it and get back to winning, we face a LHP tomorrow, so not really expecting great offensive showing, regardless of what our numbers say. 

[Stros 153]

Well fuck, now we can’t score runs.

Lots of offensive fail to go around tonight.

having yuli sit (while correa is out) really hurts our lineup.  tucker is still finding his way, marwin hasn't been anything special, and white and fed cannot be counted on.  i know he had two hits, but springer is ice cold.  that's a big gap from 6-1.  and it's not like reddick is a prototypical cleanup man either.

these guys get 4 full days off in a week.  can they not rest then?

Bingo. Was thinking the exact same as soon as the last out was recorded.
The bottom 3 in our order was starting in Fresno as of ~3 weeks ago.

Yuli sitting is bull crap for sure. White trade value isn’t going up.

I prefer this one.
she’s dirty...and better yet, she knows it.

[henrygandorf 29230]

come on shag surl, do your thing.  we should have her instagram link inside of 15 minutes.

[UTexasFight 9819]

Random but going to the game on Sunday and checked on the pitching probables:
Verlander vs Liriano.

[DaysOff 8223]

Cheap hot dogs and Twitter Tuesday tomorrow. Don't want to see half a minor league lineup tomorrow.

[tx 3 putt 78787]

Fisher / Reed / White, it is time for them to move on

2nd game in a row. Haven't hit crap. Watching to many good pitches and chasing bad ones.

So we've got our own version of Moneyball, now.  This was released today, by the dude who wrote the Sports Illustrated article back in 2014:

If I could fly
I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Like you've never seen - ever seen.

 

[Scraps 13813]

Have no fear...I will be there tonight for my 5th walk off in 6 games (the other game was like a 7-0 shutout win).  

Blonde>>>>>>Julia

Tyler White shows why he was drafted in the 33th round.  Not pinch hitting Yuli for him in the 8th is beyond idiotic and just plain retarded.   Then not pinch hitting Stassi for Fedorawearingzits is almost as criminal.  

win the next 6

Double post

[henrygandorf 29230]

jesus this si writer is milking that prediction for all that it's worth.

as he rightfully should.

can we get him a key to the city or some shit?

also is it wrong that i want jeff luhnow to sign my copy?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[henrygandorf 29230]

not to sound cold-blooded, but do they verify information like that?  i only ask because it seems like a loophole easily taken advantage of with starting pitchers.
