I’m convinced Seth Beer is going to be the centerpiece of our SP deal.

I'm convinced Alvarez must be comically bad at fielding grounders.  Tucker getting a shot there before him pretty much proves it.

Random but Cole’s brother-in-law had a day:5 for 6, 2 HRs, 3 runs and 8 RBIs.

Yeah I looked that up earlier today because I figured we would have a day game Thursday....nope but they were kind enough to start an hour early!  

maybe i'm too close to it, but i swear we have fewer day games than anyone else in the majors.

so often i look at getaway days and we're the last game on the slate.

I see Thursday is our annual “get fucked by the angels start time”.
Game time at 8pm Central. Boys will get in about 4am Friday morning I’m guessing. At least Miley is on the mound Thursday so there is hope of a sub-3 hour game.


Edit: looks like semi-annual... I thought we had a similar night game in LA followed by home game last year, but it was 2017. 9pm Central start time Thursday, Sept 14 followed by Friday night home game against the Mariners...at least the Angels/MLB moved up the start time by an hour this year.

Also, f selig.

Biannual.

I'm pretty sure at home we only have 2 this year

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Wait until he's swung the batting donut a few times and has actually made it back to the dugout without LifeFlight.  

[VirginiaLonghorn 4792]

So the team gynecologist cleared Correa?

technically aledmys should bump white. 

[TonyTexas 10537]

I agree but I think it will be Straw for Diaz and White for Correa.

[Gourmand 7774]

Urquidy pitching BP tonight at RR.

[DaysOff 7988]

Fucking bizarre inning

[UTexasFight 9567]

Gee it sure would have been nice had our first two batters not swung at the first pitch they each saw

[UTexasFight 9567]

Angels may get another no-hitter tonight.... but still lose

 

[TonyTexas 10537]

Chirinos has just been awful for 2 months. Hitting somewhere around .170. Strong candidate for surly whipping boy once White is gone.

[kevwun 15938]

Why is mlb.tv blacking this game out?

[Cooder 37]

Double clutches and still bounced it. Thankfully Simmons wasn’t running

I’ll give him a pass until he starts playing shitty defense. He’s caught a lot of games. Catchers have it rough

[Scraps 13585]

Its on mlb network if that helps

[clapclapclap 9000]

mlb.tv is working for me, but getting some freezing/drops in quality.  (VPN world problems....)

[billfromlaketravis 11563]

Straw first to third and Calhoun didn't even bother to throw. Then he basically steals home. The 70 run tool isn't high enough. 

[kevwun 15938]

Mine started working again, weird.

[rvm96 1643]

What a weird game so far. This catcher is getting beaten up by these breaking balls

[tx 3 putt 77655]

Go Team Go !

[WBT 20706]

Is 4 wild pitches a lot?  In 1.1 IP?  It seems like a lot.

[rvm96 1643]

Lol starter gets pulled after 1 hit. When he got drafted he was actually who I wanted the Astros to get. 

[RoundRobin 828]

Glad Bregman’s liner didn’t hit the kid. Would have been injury to insult.

Duh

[Tommy Nobis 905]

On pace for like a 5 hour game

[rvm96 1643]

Only one inning out of James. That's surprising

That was the plan.  He was the “opener.”

[clapclapclap 9000]

Seems odd that mlb.tv is still running those Get Roman spots featuring Big Pop Pop Popi.

[Guadaloopy 11033]

Altuve is going to hurt himself swinging like that.

I haven't looked a lot into to it. Does the opener typically just go 1 inning at most?

[cabowabo 4520]

Remember when there was talk that Chirinos should be on the All Star team?

[David Dennison 18994]

Framber Valdez, errbody.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

I’m tired of the Framber experiment. Please end it.

[cabowabo 4520]

Who the fuck names their kid Framber?

[UTexasFight 9567]

Who the fuck names their kid Framber?

Maybe his parents are named Frank and Amber

[Mack Tripper 696]

That was the plan.  He was the “opener.”

When he pitched well in the first, it’s pretty dumb to take him out until he shows otherwise.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Happy birthday

[Scraps 13585]

Im wondering how many innings they have to sing that shit

[Scraps 13585]

If Framber was a crayola it would be the shit brown colored one

[YChang 3465]

Huh, Valdez can’t pitch too well. Who knew!?

[Scraps 13585]

Take this fuckstick out Hinch

[Scraps 13585]

Not only can he not pitch he is a fucking dumbass too

Bullpen game tomorrow. Framber has to eat it

There is a starter somewhere to call up
