[clapclapclap 9,000]

Good thing we're keeping the minors stockpiled rather than trading for pitching.

Why not have James pitch a couple innings then? 

[Chuckie Finster 22,722]

Using one of the few bullpen pieces who can go multiple innings as your opener was a weird fucking decision.

[YChang 3,462]

I hope Jeff is overheating his computer by running simulations and models or whatever and get this team some pitching help.

[Scraps 13,570]

Get fucking Stassi up in the bullpen

[Bull Horn 118]

Tyler White to the bullpen phone, please - Tyler White. Not much difference between he and Valdez on the mound, and let’s hope we don’t see Valdez again this year.

 

[cabowabo 4,507]

Hinch is conceding this game. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

I’m tired of watching this fat tub of goo pitch

[clapclapclap 9,000]

LOL

Or letting Jeff Luhnow know to get his shit together.

[Mack Tripper 696]

Bullpen game tomorrow. Framber has to eat it

Today was a bullpen game where we limited a guy who threw a solid first inning to only one inning

[Scraps 13,570]

Alot of dumbfuckery the past week with roster moves = Framber Fuck Fest 23

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Bullpen game tomorrow. Framber has to eat it

Lol. Ok

[APMP 688]

Even the Astros TV broadcast guys are just meh-ing their way through this game

[UTHornFan014 710]

We are going to lose a game where we walk 10+ times

[UTHornFan014 710]

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

Still think we should have taken a chance on Grandal

[Scraps 13,570]

Springer is tired of the fuckfest

[rvm96 1,643]

Way to inject some life back into that dugout George!!!!

[Gourmand 7,774]

booooom

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Springer!

[Scraps 13,570]

[Mez2 4,025]

Valdez can go fuck himself, too

 

 

[Scraps 13,570]

Framber take a shower and hit the airport bruh

[Guadaloopy 11,012]

When is TK back?

[Scraps 13,570]

This weekend i believe

[Scraps 13,570]

Oh Brantley letsssss gooooo

[Scraps 13,570]

Womp fucking womp

[UTexasFight 9,523]

When is TK back?

 

 

Yeah. Back for the homestand.

Nice use of the ASB for a smooth 11 day break in the middle of the season.

 

Do the announcers have some sort of union? Or are the benefits just that much better these days in that world?

 

I don’t ever remember Brown, Milo, etc getting these kinds of breaks back in the day.

 

 

[Scraps 13,570]

White Framber

[Scraps 13,570]

Wow. Handicapped fool just scored from 1st.

I think that may be my sign to end the night

[Gourmand 7,774]

wtf chirinos

[UTexasFight 9,523]

I miss the days when we won the first game and/or two of a series

[Guadaloopy 11,012]

Since when are runners allowed to pick up a live ball?

[Rimbo 26,042]

god dammit

 

[huge 3,795]

Since when are runners allowed to pick up a live ball?

What could the penalty be? Dead ball runner out but run scores?

[UTexasFight 9,523]

Wow. Handicapped fool just scored from 1st.

Lol

I had the same thought... I just saw Pujols beat two throws to home in one game

 

[Guadaloopy 11,012]

That would be my guess.  Runner out due to interference by Pujols.  It’s a ticky tack call, but Correa got called out on a similar boneheaded move this year.   

[Scraps 13,570]

Springer is very angry

[Gourmand 7,774]

SPRINGER AGAIN!!!

 

[UTexasFight 9,523]

Framber sucks but we lost this game when we only managed one run after 4 straight walks in the first inning

You misspelled stupid

I think the Framberlamps is going to be put in the shop for a while

Six runs should be plenty.   Tonight is on Framber.

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

Shitty

[Scraps 13,570]

Disagree

[tx 3 putt 77,310]

I’m glad I feel asleep early. Framber still sucks 

[Chuckie Finster 22,722]

Can anyone explain the logic on how Framber on short rest was a better option than McHugh?  I assumed they were saving Collin for tonight, but then they waste him for two innings.  I trust our front office with my life, but it sure does feel like they're trying to get too cute.

[Scraps 13,570]

Yeah while i like Luhnow and Hinch, this past week has been a dumpster fire when it comes to roster manipulation and use of pitchers.

 

Arlington gave them the dumbs.

 

Of course not totally their fault since Peacock correa'd out, but now we are stuck with a Rondon/Devo/Armenteros/White/Stassi fuckfest tonight

 

 

[huge 3,795]

Its also little shit like Straw not being able to turn 2 and costing us an additional run.

And that sort of stink is bleeding over into other defensive plays.  I shit my pants when we let that elephant Pujols score on some junior high defensive execution.
