I fucking love Collin McHugh. The way he slouches on the mound like he wishes he were anywhere else but there. That he has no dignity to lose. (I don't think the guys were giving him shit for riding the golf cart. He was giving them shit. As if his utter lack of dignity was somehow going to stop him.) He tosses this absolutely unhittable toxic garbage at the plate that sort of meanders into the catcher's mitt at a casual 75-80mph while swerving about like it just polished off its fifth can of Schlitz in the past hour. If we had any doubt remaining that he were Neo and had mastered the Matrix with his new slider that doesn't so much curve as alter the shape of spacetime around it, his little "I know kung fu" move last night eliminated it.

 

Sheer poetry the way you describe his pitching.  LOL.

 

So he is Neo for 2019?

Looks like we are on the alt channel tonight cause of the Rockets.

Definitely a two screens kinda night

[henrygandorf 29190]

jesus, basketball?  is that still going on?

[rvm96 1643]

Regarding the 14 days in a row meaning another reliever possibly getting promoted from the minors, any thoughts on who it would be? 

[UTexasFight 9432]

cleat got stuck, ends up throwing an accidental eephus 

As only McHugh could do...Rimbo nailed it.

Fucking love McHugh.

[formermav43 4606]

Lots of teams roll all season long with a 7 man bullpen. I don’t see an issue.

[kevwun 15782]

As long as Hinch staggers Pressly and Osuna just enough so there's never a game where both are unavailable.

[UTexasFight 9432]

McHugh talk finally got me to pull up how podcast.
The Bregman episode should be required listening for every fan of this team

[Scraps 13561]

Yep

We're in day 5 of the basketball playoffs. The rockets are 1-0. The NBA saw the movie Basketball and thought its playoff timeframe sounded like a good idea

i don't really follow the nba, but is it true that the nba playoffs last so long that the two teams involved in the finals actually miss the start of next season?

[kevwun 15782]

It's extra bad this year.  The Rockets played game 1 on Sunday and game 2 isn't until tonight.

[rvm96 1643]

 

[WBT 20564]

Not bad for old man Yuli.  Pence is still getting it done too

[kevwun 15782]

It's really impressive when you factor in the extra time moving like a spaz costs him.

[Scraps 13561]

Jurickson Altuve

[WBT 20564]

Damnit, Profar infected the 2B area

[tx 3 putt 76932]

[Scraps 13561]

Country boy Miley gonna plunk a mofo

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

[tx 3 putt 76932]

an A's player needs to get beaned tonight 

[tx 3 putt 76932]

BP and dugout need to be ready to charge the field. we need to send a message 

[UTexasFight 9432]

That’s a fun poll. Which pitch you got?

 

[Scraps 13561]

Tough play but Bregman shouldve had that

[Scraps 13561]

I picked Pressly.

[UTexasFight 9432]

Reed sent to the IL for Round Rock.
Hey White, the opening you’ve always been waiting for!

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

I voted Pressly

[WBT 20564]

Maybe get a hit?

[UTexasFight 9432]

We should get a hit

[tx 3 putt 76932]

bregman said last night that he hasn't been able to hit the fastball this season, yet 

[UTexasFight 9432]

On the other hand, Sunday will be one year since Manaea no-hit the Red Sox in the Coliseum and last year worked out ok for them?

[WBT 20564]

there it is

[Planet Houston 4930]

Let’s get some fucking hits next inning. Sheeeit.

We don’t need hits
Just hit more balls to Profar

[Scraps 13561]

Take the lead with a 2 run bomb plz

[Scraps 13561]

[Tommy Nobis 905]

The A’s fucking suck. Time to score a few runs

[Planet Houston 4930]

Hammer these fools. What is this, tee ball?

[UTexasFight 9432]

I was told we’re never going to lose again this year, so not too worried here

[Planet Houston 4930]

Furktuve

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Would be a great time for a double
