So the gameplan is to be aggressive

[runthebone 8322]

Correa is our 7 hitter.

Let's show them we can hit the fastball.

I like this plan 

[TexArcher 38816]

Broadcasters are sucking off Glasnow a bit much.  Yeah, he's tall and he throws a hundred.  And his ERA is pretty over 60 innings this year.  But it's around 4.50 for his career.  Calm down.

I do too, although an 8 pitch inning is not optimal. Gotta be productive and aggressive.

NOT the Jason Garrett way

[runthebone 8322]

It'll be fine.  We don't have to change anything we have done all year.  Well, Altuve could perhaps be a little more selective.

He has been rather nasty in his 12 starts this season.

Early, but looking to be a low scoring tight game.

So has South Austin's mom

I think it will be low scoring until the bullpens are used

I don't know, man.  We have a lot of good fastball hitters and we just sent two to the warning track in the first inning.  The second time through the lineup could be big for us.  And he'll be gone by the third time through.

[TexArcher 38816]

Nice and easy.  Now get him a run or two.

[Mo Horn 8933]

 Ok, now take this guy deep Bregs. 

[thetruth 149]

I forgot about the 13 hours of commercials between innings on a national broadcast. 

[kevwun 16269]

fs1's stream is shitty.  Constantly buffering

We are breaking it open soon

[henrygandorf 29219]

yordan gonna need to lay off that shit in the dirt this postseason.

It’s rare when our team gives Verlander decent run support but I like your optimism 

[TonyTexas 10683]

This sucking off of Glasnow is getting tiresome 

[Mo Horn 8933]

So obviously we are facing the greatest pitcher to ever throw a baseball today.  Might as well just pack it in.

It always is. I know from experience trying to watch college football on it

[runthebone 8322]

The announcers are sucking his cock while 30% of his pitches bounce

Yuli heard you.

[TexArcher 38816]

Texas leaguer, lol.  It all counts.

[perfectchaos007 6766]

A 2 out rally would be nice 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Glasnow vs Glassnow went well this time.

[runthebone 8322]

Not sure Chirinos can hit 99, but let's see

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Chirizo time

[henrygandorf 29219]

this is about pitch count and turning the lineup over.

but yeah, some runs, would be nice.

[TexArcher 38816]

Fuuuuuck, he smoked that ball.

Next time, fellas.

[kevwun 16269]

He's ahead of JV now in pitch count.

[henrygandorf 29219]

piss.

we're hitting the ball hard.

[rvm96 1643]

Which team has the Cy young candidate pitching today? I can't tell from the announcers comments.

[perfectchaos007 6766]

Glassnow hasn’t struck out any of our guys yet. Just need more of our hits to fall

well if he had pitched the whole season, he'd probably be in the conversation.

i'm not exaggerating, that was an actual observation.

[kevwun 16269]

It's AJ and Girardi, they're not going to be singing our praises.  One is a contrarian asshole and the other we helped get fired.

[clapclapclap 9000]

A year too late for that fan with the Keuchel beard.

[TexArcher 38816]

Damn, that's a nasty pitch.  Go to your room.

[henrygandorf 29219]

"can you believe all the tampa injuries?  24 trips to the ir.  including 3 from joey wendle."

wendle and his .231 avg and .633 ops.

they have scrappy role players and i'm sure they'll have big moments this series, but stop acting like it's giancarlo stanton missing 140 games.

[thetruth 149]

Second time through the order. Time to put the bat on the ball boys. 

[UDontKnow 10557]

Lol. Commentators saying Bregman has the athleticism of a SS. They don't know that his natural position is SS.

I texted the same exact wording to a buddy a few minutes ago.  Geez!  It’s like he’s Bob Gibson in ‘68 or some shit.

[Mez2 4041]

Hunt the fastball, leave anything with spin. 

 

[elfenix 34658]

Orbit is a national treasure

Or LMJ missing the whole year, or Correa missing half the season, or Altuve missing a month, or Springer missing a month, etc.  I mean yeah, poor Yankees, but we won 107 with a fucking M.A.S.H. unit at times.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Reddick should be good for 2 home runs today.

Edited October 4, 2019 by clapclapclap
1 per kid

[Mo Horn 8933]

Reddick wasn't even close to that fast ball. 

[FondrenRoad 4378]

These announcers want to have Glasnows fingers on their shafts apparently. 

[henrygandorf 29219]

"and that's why tampa led the league in era."

they did, 3.65 to our 3.66.

we led them in every other pitching category i saw.

let's fucking go.
