Not sure when this is from, but I just ran across it on youtube. worth a watch.

 

[Scraps 13531]

Probably from right after the Stros sent his ass fishing

[huge 3788]

He could afford better than JC Penney I guess?

[UTexasFight 9369]

It’s funny —and sad—because it’s true

[spystud13 2371]

Shohei back in 3-hole behind Trout. 

 

And the Peter Bourjos era is mercifully over. 

[UTexasFight 9369]

No one gonna be picking on Profar if that play holds up...

 

 

And

 

 

Omg. Laureano upstages him on the next pitch

 

[spystud13 2371]

Check out Fiers’ game log this season before tonight. Either a stud or a fucking scrub.

Wrong, he’s still -1.1 bWAR on 5/7, that is fucking horrid.

For tonight

[Sbbruin 21697]

3 dingers for Turner tonight.  Finally getting going.

[UTexasFight 9369]

That throw for the 2nd out in the 8th did not elicit a ton of confidence.

[spystud13 2371]

Baseball will fuck with you.

Can anyone find vid/gif of the Kelvin Gutierrez throw to the stands from last night.  It was probably the worst throw I have witnessed live at a game.  

If you have access to mlb.tv, the archive of the Astros TV broadcast has it at about 36:10 into the stream.

Going to Miller Park in early August.  Recommendations on places to eat/visit during the day in Milwaukee??

[UTexasFight 9369]

First f selig.

 

That said, was there in mid-August last year.

Not a bad town. I remember everything being within 15 minutes to get to. The park is on the outskirts of town....out by a casino (pro tip: Milwaukee casino clientele offers a special level of depression/people watching)

 

Nothing really stands out for places we ate.

We did the Public Market and walked around their historic district

There was a lot being built up around the new basketball arena (Fiserv Forum) that may be finished by the time you go. The Pabst brewery is in that area.

We checked out one of the Lake Michigan beaches (Bradford, I think). Again, Milwaukee beach clientele offers a special level of people watching....we went in mid-August and I swear it was the first time half the people there had gotten some vitamin D all year.

The art museum was surprisingly good

Harley Davidson headquarters is also in Milwaukee. We dropped in but didn’t do the tour

Joey Gallo fastest AL player ever to 100 bombs, 3rd overall behind Ryan Howard & Ralph Kiner. 

[spystud13 2371]

Turner’s 3-bomb game was #600 in MLB history, Fiers’ no-no was #300. 

[spystud13 2371]

And Swihart’s UT roommate just hit one in the river.

100 HRs, 93 singles, 1 sac fly.  you'd think those #s would be impossible.  

[UTexasFight 9369]

The Longhorn that never was homered off an Aggie than never was.


Bell is having quite the season in the early going

[UTexasFight 9369]

100 HRs, 93 singles, 1 sac fly.  you'd think those #s would be impossible.  

But how many groundouts to third?

What’s the O/U of Dave Martinez making it to the A-S break in Washington?  Too much talent to play this badly. 

[spystud13 2371]

Hunter mother fucking Pence.

Ok now I'm curious.

[spystud13 2371]

1-pitch PH granny. 

[UTexasFight 9369]

The gerrit cole grade giveth (Colin Moran sole homer in the 6th) and taketh away (Pence grand slam off Michael Feliz in the 8th)

 

[spystud13 2371]

Goddamn, the Pitt SS is a fucking SPARE.

I’m not going to do the research, but that Josh Bell hr earlier today might have been the furthest hr of the season. Ridiculous power.

 

edit: 472 feet, 114.9 mph exit velocity lol

[UTexasFight 9369]

915’ between the Gallo and Bell homers today if you need it.

[spystud13 2371]

Joey... 

Quote

His 96.7 average exit velocity on all kinds of batted balls entering Wednesday is highest among hitters with at least 50 batted balls this season -- by more than a mile and a half per hour. Carlos Santana and Nelson Cruz are tied for second at 94.9 mph.

I really don't get why more teams don't do the cheaper seats thing to fill up the stadium and sell more concessions/parking/souvenirs.

Especially say, teams that are openly tanking/rebuilding (#biased).

 

[spystud13 2371]

This is fucking embarrassing to the sport.

And Darvish has still walked 6 of them in 4 innings

[TheFlagship 432]

Tommy La Stella and Derek Dietrich have combined for 19 HRs. 

[UTexasFight 9369]

And Darvish has still walked 6 of them in 4 innings

4 true outcomes: walk, strikeout, HR, darvish sucking

[UTexasFight 9369]

Yankees/Twins the other day
Indians/White Sox today

Not playing a full 9 innings is an aggressive way to speed up games

[UTexasFight 9369]

Reddick doing his best JBJ impersonation.
Would have put Rangers up 5-4 in the top of the ninth
