Bregman is popping everything up
Altuve is grounding everything on the infield.

Yes we have too many AAA being asked to contribute but our all-stars need to play like one as well

The all-stars have had a lot of weight on their shoulders trying to do too much during the AAA bandaid portion of the season. 

[Wishbone 4731]

Lol! Hit him right in the ass. Almost a hole in one for Altuve.

[Mo Horn 8795]

Not sure why I'm still watching. Every at bat more frustrating than the previous one. This pitching staff is hard to hit when the team is hot. Right now it's not even a fair contest.

I knew this would be the counter argument

I get it but I don’t buy it

They’re seasoned veterans at this point and are better than to be pressing trying to compensate for a weak bottom of the order

[Mo Horn 8795]

 Of fucking course

[cabowabo 4449]

Jesus Christ we suck dick now. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

We suck 
the yankees smell blood in the water 

Yep.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fuck fuck fuck

[Limp Brisket 546]

Mother Fuck Hector, I’m sick of his ass

[Mo Horn 8795]

And we're done here

Maybe not sucking but rubbing the head all over the pressed together lips of an unwilling participant.

[HtownHorn 14446]

Go get some bullpen help, Jeff. I would concentrate on guys that don't give up HRs. Your pitching staff has already given up 114 112 + 2 from Tyler White on the season.

Haven't lost six in a row since 2015.

Damn.

[TonyTexas 10478]

I’ve been a defender of this bullpen but I’ve changed my mind. We have 3 guys that worth a shit. Harris, Pressley and Osuna. McHugh will help but we still need to add a middle reliever and a lefty.

[YChang 3430]

Man. When it’s bad, it’s baaaaad.

[UTHornFan014 710]

We have to be the worst team at manufacturing runs. Lead off walks/doubles mean nothing.

I knew you knew this may be a counterpoint, (not really, just sounded good). However,  for that exact reason, a seasoned  veteran who is a solid bought-in dedicated member of a team will think it is their duty to hold down the fort in the absence of key contributors. Overall, they have done a great job, but to me, anyway, I have seen plate appearances by some of those guys that are seemingly out of character lately as this stretch drags on.

[elfenix 34168]

I'm just going to punch myself in the dick repeatedly instead

 

 

[cabowabo 4449]

He’s gonna load the bases, then a double play.

Bregman in particular.

Bingo. That was the model of the post.

You are, no doubt, the worst poster on this board. 90% of your posts are shit like this. Thank god you only chirp a few times a game.

[cabowabo 4449]

Quit swinging at ball 4.

I officially hate this poster

[tx 3 putt 76170]

fuck that was a great DP

also, we hit in to way too many dp's !!!!

[UTHornFan014 710]

And fuck that ump for calling that bullshit strike on Reddick. That forced him to swing at other bullshit pitches.

[Wishbone 4731]

10 pitches to Reddick. Only 2 in the strike zone.

[Scraps 13532]

Of course Devo looks like Cy Young when we suck

[TonyTexas 10478]

Please forgive me bitch. 

A typical post. I don’t recall a single post by you where I’ve received insight. Only infantile bitching.

[UTexasFight 9370]

At least Chapman won’t be available for one or both of the last two games this series

Of course we may be down by 10 in the 9th in each of those games, but still

[UTexasFight 9370]

Can’t locate the fastball
Sit on off speed and foul off the hard stuff if it looks close

[Limp Brisket 546]

Why does Straw not attempt a steal to eliminate the double play when he can, he has the green light non stop.  

[tx 3 putt 76170]

send straw 

[Wishbone 4731]

C’mon Air Yordan!

[TonyTexas 10478]

send straw 

They need 3 runs, not 1.

[UTexasFight 9370]

One time air Yordan

[Wishbone 4731]

Money pitch!

[Wishbone 4731]

Day ham!

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Take the bat off your god damn shoulder. JFC

Been four years.

Zero clutch hitting 

[runthebone 7929]

They're still shitty

[UTHornFan014 710]

Maybe Tyler White's recent run of doubles will result in some team trading for him. One can dream, right?

[Wishbone 4731]

That game was a lot closer than the score would indicate. The shoe is on the other foot than when we swept them earlier. Reverse conditions. Would/will be a great series when both teams at full strength.
