Huge for momentum.  Doubled him in g3 also

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Tapa sucks. Been shit lately with double triple posts.

[tx 3 putt 78470]

need another crooked number 

[Anastasis 23699]

Man. Cole hit that one. 

[At Ease 44]

 Cole 99.1 MPH off the bat there.

[WBT 20884]

Damn, I see you Gerrit.  99 mph off the bat.

[atomheartbevo 90546]

Every time they run that Buzz Aldrin commercial, and the kid asks him if that was why he went to the moon, I want Buzz to say “don’t ask me to swear on a Bible.”

[perfectchaos007 6766]

At least Cole made contact but c'mon at least let the pitcher make a few pitches to raise his pitch count

[TexArcher 38816]

Okay, George.  Be like Yordan.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

As soon as they put up that graphic that said he hadn’t hit a HR in his last 21 games I knew he was taking one out.

Thanks Fox!

[atomheartbevo 90546]

Okay, new gameplan, everybody hit it to a Nat.

104.3 mph for George.  I'm not sure what Joe Buck is looking at saying Ross is throwing well.  5 batted balls >99 mph already.  We're going to get to him some more.

[WBT 20884]

Like that, Altuve tattooed that one

[Grade of D as in David 13255]

Bloop and a blast part 2 coming up?

[TexArcher 38816]

"He's one shy of..."

"Two and he gets it, right?"

Yeah, Smoltz, you fucking potato.

Cole needs an easy, efficient, inning. 

[WBT 20884]

Only 40 pitches through 3 for Ross isn't ideal

Buzz and I are going to come over and punch you in the face.

[runthebone 8322]

It doesn't matter how many pitches Ross has.  We should jump on these fastballs.  We are not a pitch count team.

No, but the 2 run part eases any angst I may have had to this point.

Filthy strikeout pitch and Buck says, "two out" in a "meh" voice then goes on about Scherzer some more.

 

[MirrOlure 15185]

So who the fuck wears a U Tennessee wardrobe when sitting behind home plate? Look-at-me douchesnozzle.

He struck out the pitcher.  I'd cut him some slack about not getting excited for the foregone conclusion.

[Wishbone 4924]

Hey hey! Alvarez!

[perfectchaos007 6766]

Reading line drives like that aren't easy. Go Yordan! 

[utxmike05 1833]

And he can catch!!!

 The same reason I'd wear Longhorn gear.

Turner smoked that, fortunate placement.

Earlier after the bottom of the first there was a delay going to the commercials and Smoltz said “good start” after Ross ended the inning, I don’t believe he knew they were still hot.  If there was any doubt it ended there by the inflection in his voice but there was never any doubt.

[runthebone 8322]

Just needs a little more elevation this time

It’s kind of a sweet commercial, but I’d rather they just run a “50 years ago, I was walking on the fucking moon.   What have you done with your life?” commercial with Buzz.  

[NowThis 931]

did Trump show up?

Once you include the words Joe and Buck all sense and sensibility leaves the building. I do hope he can bring up the 1996 World Series to Smoltz again 

[runthebone 8322]

You should never give that to Ross against Bregman

[Pimphand 6266]

Yes they already showed him 

[elfenix 34658]

That was a ball previously

Missed the first few minutes, but I think so.  Friend who is there said they got searched and had more security, so I assume so.

Trump, Melania, and Gaetz were shown on TV earlier

[atomheartbevo 90546]

Ross has settled down. Fuck.  Run that pitch count up.

Damn Yuri getting warmed up.

This Ross guy seems to be a ground ball pitcher

[WBT 20884]

Let's go Yordan.  You can't have a 3 homer game without getting the 2nd one first.

[atomheartbevo 90546]

That baseball on eBay would buy a lot of beers.  

[runthebone 8322]

Ross is entering the...danger zone
