Hey another infield pop up.  Haven’t seen that 100 times this week.

[TexArcher 38374]

There you go, George.  Let's get a crooked number and make this thing interesting.

[TexArcher 38374]

Or let's all just go fuck ourselves.

[GHOSTUSER 361]

Come on Jake. What a shitshow today 

[Smax 3800]

Just going through the motions..

[Wishbone 4821]

My eyes. Total discombobulation.

[tx 3 putt 77752]

Blummer getting cray cray 

[Wishbone 4821]

Booooooom!.

Damn nice two games for the rook 

[Fudge Nuggets 19270]

Would be nice to have some fuckers on base when Yordan comes up.

On base four times yesterday, two homers today but Hinch thought it was a good idea to pull him last night.

[WBT 20732]

One of these homers would have been nice yesterday.  Our timing sucks on this road trip.

Bases loaded in the first inning when he struck out. Not knocking him, but it would be a different game had he hit one then. 

[Honeysucklerose 996]

If they are just gonna loaf through, thank God football is here to get us through the end of the year

What a managerial brain cramp. Forget “strategy”...sometimes you just might have to leave your best offensive weapon in the game. Especially a game in which you can’t score jack. 

 

 

 

[Wishbone 4821]

 What a complete crap show this trip has been. Looking forward to it’s end.

Baseball sucks

Glad i didnt drive down for weekend

[Wishbone 4821]

The team has underachieved in every aspect of the game this past week.

Eh, I’m sure you’d have found something to make it worth while.

[Bull Horn 118]

Well, glad this team isn’t peaking too soon.

But enough of this horrible baseball, please.

[Smax 3800]

True but with the way they are playing, fly fishing tomorrow sounds like the better option

Hinch you need to get your shit together

[Limp Brisket 546]

It’s just the August breather.  We are going to be fine.

[Jshep34 2352]

First pitch thrown out tonight at round rock. Kid has crossed off many things on my bucket list all ready at the age of 6. Just really humbled by everything he has done and the friends we have made along the way

I’ve been on this site and Shaggy going back a long time, I’ve loved seeing his experiences but I’ve missed the back story, could you fill me in?

Backstory, started in 2016 he did kids take the field and took off down baseline dressed in ut hat and shirt. He was 3 at the time. Was interviewed by gf in September. Since then they have become great friends. He has taken field during world series, held the world series trophy and ring, countless autographs and girlfriends. Been thru UT locker room, weight room, met coach Herman.

We peaked last Saturday.  We don’t have to play that good to win it all, but we won’t play another game as good as that one the rest of the season.  Hell, we may not play another one that good for the rest of franchise history.

Swept in that '17 series, I believe. 

This team does this every few weeks. Take 3 in OAK and we'll have a 11.5 game lead going into the final 6 weeks. 

...or, take 1 in OAK and head home with a 7.5 game lead going into the final 6 weeks. 

Goddamnit. 

[tx 3 putt 77752]

Please don’t get swept today 

[APMP 688]

Sometimes I think these August swoons happen every season just so the baseball gods can remind us how bad things were in the dark days of the early 2010s.

Message received. Now go out there and get back on track.

[YChang 3472]

Hopefully we see the Greinke everyone in the press is so impressed with today.

[runthebone 8080]

We are winning today, but what a shitty week of baseball. 

 

[henrygandorf 29199]

tigers home series cannot get here soon enough. 

[TonyTexas 10556]

Lots of moves

[tx 3 putt 77752]

Diaz is going on IL because he became light-headed and dizzy on the bus on the way to ballpark yesterday and went to hospital. No official diagnosis, but he should be fine.
