[Honeysucklerose 1,006]

Let’s just start with this triple

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Pina!

[elfenix 34,658]

Wooo!

[Honeysucklerose 1,006]

Wow. We scored.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Wooooooo!

[TonyTexas 10,683]

Fuck it. NO HITTER ALERT!!!

Works every time

[thetruth 149]

Holy fuck they scored a run!

[ckhorn 208]

There is big difference between our hitters approach and the opposing teams. It looks like the other teams adopted the way we hit last year as in making the pitchers work, thus getting to them after 70 pitches or there pen. This year it seems our pitchers are getting worked. Its not as noticeable, because most of our pitchers are studs and go 100 plus pitches.

[elfenix 34,658]

Wow

[Honeysucklerose 1,006]

Tucker just watches everything

He's a monster AAA player.

[elfenix 34,658]

407 foot out. Fuck

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Kid can't catch a break. 

[ckhorn 208]

Maybe the pitcher needs to hit with the way Maldonado swings a bat. Never-mind, LMJ.

Son of a fuck

[Honeysucklerose 1,006]

Freaking A. That just feels like game over

[Chuckie Finster 22,978]

That was maybe the most predictable AB of the season.

[Chuckie Finster 22,978]

Double

Yep.

He's easily our worst starting pitcher right now.

[Limp Brisket 549]

I don't fault JV, he's pitched a gem, our MM bats are soft again.  It ain't over but its frustrating.

The pitch calling with Verlander has been pretty predictable recently.

[Mez2 4,041]

Tony Kemp should never play centerfield ever for this team. 

[Honeysucklerose 1,006]

I don't fault JV, he's pitched a gem, our MM bats are soft again.  It ain't over by its frustrating.

Agreed. Don’t blame JV at all

It’s weak and, watching great pitches and double plays

He only has two

Bad post, but I'm fucking pissed off.

Home run and out?

Yeah, its not easy going out every game and feeling you have to shut out the other team to win. That is a lot of mental pressure to have over a course of a season.

Dude,  are not ever pissed off.

[Chuckie Finster 22,978]

I wasn’t even blaming JV. The way things are going it just felt like it was inevitable that we would immediately give up the lead.

[runthebone 8,322]

Lots of gopher balls.  Shit

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Tony Kemp should never play centerfield ever for this team. 

Tony kemp shouldn’t be playing for a world championship team in the first place.

[TonyTexas 10,683]

Anyone who blames the pitching for our recent problems is an idiot.

I'm not pissed at all. I'm usually sunshine pumping about records and first place around here.

We suck at the moment though.

We have herpes of the bats right now.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Correa should go back to Corpus

Pretty sure he was yapping at Mez.

Yes, came back too early, again. We do that for some reason. The only player on this team who shouldn't is Altuve. I think he can fall out of bed and hit the ball.

Our bat AIDS is making me sensitive.

I hate it.

Do you realize he has the best BA on the current roster?

Understood

[Smax 3,800]

Says a lot more about the line up then it does kemp

[Ldogg53 514]

We have Marwin at cleanup tonight. Just saying.

[David Dennison 19,441]

It will be nice when a one run deficit doesn't feel insurmountable.

 

[cabowabo 4,645]

It will be nice when a one run deficit doesn't feel insurmountable.
 

How bout 2?

[Ldogg53 514]

Lol. This game pretty much feels over. And the crowd in here is reflecting that.

[elfenix 34,658]

This is a fuck

[Chuckie Finster 22,978]

How bout 2?

Good thing runs don’t carryover or we’d already be fucked tomorrow too.

So are we complaining he's made of glass or that he's trying to play too soon?

He might as well play here because his 0-4 is as good as his replacement's.

Good Night and Good Luck
