Good pull by Ausmus.  Yulia was gonna light that up.

[UTexasFight 9432]

Lol.

Y’all complaining about a backup catcher batting below .200.

 

Let me know how many teams have backup catchers hitting above .200 before we talk about how shitty we are at that roster relative to the rest of the league.

Any relation to Julia?

Tyler white with the only RBIs today

[thetruth 149]

Makes sense White would have both RBI's in this shit box of a game. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Tyler with 2 hits and 2 rbi's.  This is his tradebait game, he'll hit a grand slam next and then pitch the win.

We just need to get someone to hit the 7th rbi.

Yeah, most catchers suck at BA in general and it’s always considered a huge bonus to have a “hitter” in that hole. Chirinos is the the closest we’ve had in a while. Gattis was ok for a bit, although he was mostly used as a DH and a backup. So, yeah, I agree expectations for a backup catcher should be next to nothing with regard to hitting. I just think we can do better, or no worse that Stassi for a no. 2

LANCE MCCULLERS IS HOUSTON ASTROS BASEBALL

[Victor Lazlo 1776]

Knew that was coming at some point.

And fuck Pujols. Let’s rumble

FUCKING LOVE altuve and bregman out front. 

fucking leaders there + they're tight with jake 

[Guadaloopy 10961]

So dumb to put Jake on in this situation.   Set the table for the top of the order.   

[tx 3 putt 76911]

cole is still yelling from the dugout 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Awesome with the steal.  Now just need a play at the plate 2.0.

[tx 3 putt 76911]

lulz @ jake from take farm stealing 2nd 

[perfectchaos007 6635]

Think the MLB will hand out suspensions?

[Fondren & Main 6713]

Why are we starting setup men in games now?  Is this what baseball is now?  Is it sabermetrics? Someone break that down for me.

[thetruth 149]

Yordan walks out first from the dugout, Angels sit the fuck down because they know. 

[YChang 3443]

Never got the vibe that Ausmus is a dick

Peg him, but stay low.  Simple as that.  

[Guadaloopy 10961]

Need Uncle Mike to make this a one run game.

No. We only have 3 viable starters at this point. 

Injuries, AAA guys not ready. 

James or McHugh needs to get back in the rotation and then add whoever we trade for. 

[Lat22 4010]

We can’t get Armenteros tossed right now. 

[tx 3 putt 76911]

he stole first !!!!

Username checks out. Again. He could bitch slap their entire roster and make ‘em laugh about it.

Tired of this silly shit already. Need to get back to kicking the crap outta people again.

12 lob and 2 gidp? Not good.

[UTHornFan014 710]

I miss Charlie Morton

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

... and then the lead was 4.5 games. 

[Scraps 13561]

Welp. Looking forward to Pujols wearing one tonight around the 6th or 7th.

[Lat22 4010]

I agree, but then our guy will get tossed. It's bullshit.  Everybody knew it was coming and they should have thrown that Angels pitcher out immediately. Beating their ass on the scoreboard is about all we can do. 

[Scraps 13561]

Positives about beaning Pujols:

1. It's Pujols

2. It's Pujols

3. It's Pujols

4. If he decides to charge the mound you can set up, prepare yourself, get a few practice reps in, maybe even stretch it out before he reaches you

5. It's Pujols

6. It's Pujols 

[tx 3 putt 76911]

Bean him 

[UTexasFight 9432]

Yeah, I don’t think this is over

[Scraps 13561]

Ausmus/Ramirez comments are so fucking retarded too.  Just own up to it.  Ausmus actually tries to make the argument that since he threw him a strike on the first pitch, that it wasn't intentional.   It can also be insinuated that Ausmus blames Marisnick for not hitting that strike because if he would have then none of this would have happened lol 

"The first pitch was a strike," Ausmus said. "If he swings at it and hits it, we're not even talking about it. It's tough to go to a 1-and-1 count with any intent. Noe is a right-handed pitcher who comes down from the side and sometimes people get hit."

They either suspend Ramirez or they get paid back. The league needs to take control of the situation. You can't allow retaliations. Either the league punishes bad play or it doesn't. 

[tx 3 putt 76911]

I’d prefer they hit Calhoun, who spells Kole  with ‘k’ ????

[cabowabo 4484]

If there is no suspension by gametime tomorrow, then we start Rondon, Framber, or one of our other fucksticks and let them drill Pujols. Then we bring in Miley for the second inning. If Pujols puts a beat down on the pitcher, then that's a win win for us.

 

 

[tx 3 putt 76911]

zero issues with rondon or Framber being a punching bag for the team 

Edited July 17, 2019 by tx 3 putt

[Limp Brisket 546]

Neither one could hit the batter could they?  I mean it would be a strike in this context.

[UTPhil2006 3807]

If Cole throws at anyone and gets kicked out I'm fighting our own team.  I'm not watching another abortion of a bullpen game 3 games in a row.

Cole isn't going to pitch a complete game. You wait until one of the garbage middle relievers are in.  Heaney didn't hit Marisnick either in two at bats.  Ramirez did it in relief.
