So starting Rondon was a good choice

[Wishbone 4759]

Our pitching search is getting more expensive daily.

[Scraps 13561]

Well you mean this Rondon start isn't working???

Shocker!!!!!


Fucking stupid bullshit

[tx 3 putt 76933]

maybe they forget to tell rondon he's supposed to get outs ?

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Rondon sucks.  

[Wishbone 4759]

Quality start here....for the Angels.

Wonder how many more days the front office is gonna pretend our rotation is just fine

[thetruth 149]

Rondon going to give up 5 in the first instead of the 7th

[tx 3 putt 76933]

puljos is about to deliver the death blow 

[tx 3 putt 76933]

also, fuck steve garvey 

[Guadaloopy 10964]

That Pujols double rolled right in front of me. Whoopee

[cabowabo 4484]

I'm done with this shit until we trade for a decent starting pitcher.

And he did it without recording an out. Impressive

[Goo Punch 4275]

went to the CC Hooks game tonight. Ronnie Dawson was awesome. We had to leave in the 8th, but when we left he was 2/3, HR, 2 RBI (all of the Hooks' runs), and he had made three great catches in CF. he has some serious range. based on his stats and what i saw he's got some pop but he needs to get his average up a bit. still, he looked really good. 

oh yeah and your 1B is named Beer. HG tells me he's pretty good. hope he makes The Show one day for the jersey sales alone.

Don’t sell yourself short.

[kevwun 15783]

Should have just forfeited. 

[David Dennison 18856]

Any day now, Jeff.

[Lat22 4014]

I guess I’ll be asleep at my normal time tonight. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[Mo Horn 8833]

Well i was going to go to bed early, but now knowing we're going to get to see White pitch tonight means I'm not getting any sleep tonight. 

[drewlaws 126]

If I never see Rondon or Framber pitch again, it’ll be too soon.

But thanks for shitting the bed in the 9pm west coast starts so I’m not at all tempted to stay up and watch.

[Wishbone 4759]

Looking like tv night with the wife after all.

[Johnny Sack 8397]

About to put away dishes.  And go to bed.  

[Guadaloopy 10964]

T Wizzle gon throw tonight!

[Wishbone 4759]

Aaaand they’ve ruined any semblance of trade value that may have been perceived by potential trade partners by exposing these guys even more the past few days.

[KatHorn 20]

This team seeks like it is comprised of elite talent and dogshit.  Nothing in between

[Pibald 18]

Back to back opener days seems very dark-era Stros. Makes me appreciate that stretch in ‘17 when Mike Fiers came out of nowhere and bailed us out for a couple of months. Maybe we’ll emerge with a similar deadline move to get us out of the funk.

You can imagine how much more tempting it is here in the ATL. 

Seriously, how did we suddenly unlearn how to hit, pitch or field? Even clowns would be ashamed of this.

Hmmm....supposing an either/or scenario, would you rather keep Tucker, or wait on Beer for a year. Both can play outfield, but Beer can also play 1st (although they haven’t been using him there). We can afford to wait a year at those positions (especially when we are healthy again) but Tucker is further along and may be more of an immediate enticement to get pitching we desperately need now.

Beer has played 1/3 games this year at 1st base

[Wishbone 4759]

One word can sum up most of the woes plaguing this team right now: Morton.

[HtownHorn 14678]

This team has 4-6 pitchers that should pitch in the playoffs, just move James to the rotation, go get another starter and 2-3 bullpen pieces.

[Guadaloopy 10964]

Keep booing Jake!

Yeah, I knew he’d been played there, it’s where he played in college. So based on the post I made above, would you consider him or Tucker for a trade if you could get what you want for either?

[Mez2 4023]

I just turned the game on, what the fuck happened? 

[Guadaloopy 10964]

Calhoun almost lost that ball over the fence trying to make it more dramatic than it was.

First, the earth cooled... 

[huge 3793]

Pretty fuckin great

[tx 3 putt 76933]

so these two games were complete disasters and we burned up our bp ?

win / win !!!!

[Mez2 4023]

Both devo and rondong won't be on the playoff roster, assuming we make it

[Wishbone 4759]

Maybe Hinch should apply some of his strategy he uses on his players and give himself a day or two off.

Verlander looks like he wants to backhand some folks.

He’s gonna need to wait in line.

He looks like he wants to form the line to me.

[YChang 3443]

So... bad

[tx 3 putt 76933]

this is going to be a 5 hour game

[Wishbone 4759]

T-Wizzle!

[Mez2 4023]

Stassi, .181 hitter with 1 HR.

Why is he on the roster?

[Guadaloopy 10964]

Has to sting a tad to be booed on your home turf, even if undeserved.

There is no logical explanation I have heard for this other than his “pitch framing” Stubbs is a better option than Stassi IMO for a roster backup catcher.
