So many fucking errors

Antonio Cromarte?

[runthebone 7929]

No GIDP, guys.

[rvm96 1643]

Please Yuli make up for the errors

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Straw on second. 2 outs but A base hit should tie the game

[tx 3 putt 76170]

very good at bat by #legend 

[Anastasis 23376]

Imagine that. 3b makes a play.  

[runthebone 7929]

Smart

[rvm96 1643]

If Tyler White gets a base hit here I'll never say anything bad about him again.

[Mez2 4020]

I fucking loathe Tyler White

Rolls eyes. 

[perfectchaos007 6593]

and our slide continues

[Rimbo 25753]

why is he still on our team

[YChang 3430]

Mmm... at least they got some hits tonight. Womp womp 

Edited June 23, 2019 by YChang

[Mo Horn 8795]

 Just DFA the fat fuck tonight.

Even our opponents recognize the truth. Why can't our management?

[tx 3 putt 76170]

will we ever win another game ?

[HtownHorn 14446]

Nice of White to take a perfect pitch to destroy right down the middle.

Once Springer gets back I assume he's the first one on the bus to Round Rock?

This is Carlos Correa's vagina's fault. He's the reason why Tyler White is playing every day.

[WBT 20401]

Intentionally walked the go ahead run on base to pitch to White.  Seems smart.

 He's out of options, can only DFA him

[Cosimo de' Medici 121]

At what point does AJ take some blame for this shit show we’re trotting out?

He can only play who they give him. No idea what input he has on personnel.

Can we put him on the Injured List for Diabetes?

Wilford Brimley v. Tyler White in a footrace?

Serious question, what should he do differently?  Harris has let almost no inherited runs score. Two did tonight. Pressley had an 0.81 era coming into the game tonight. He gave up two earned runs. A couple of days ago Osuna blew a save against the reds. Totally unexpected.  Altuve is having a shit year, but you gotta play him. The only thing I question is keeping White in the lineup, but he doesn't have a lot of options right now. 

[Dennis Taylor 18679]

That was a horrible non-reversal on that replay. The way his glove was positioned there was no part of the glove the ball could possibly have hit before bouncing.  It's science.  But the Astros always get fucked on replays

Tell Luhnow to go get him major league players to replace the non-MLB players on his 25 man roster.

We've turned in to the bad news bears

Hi, Jeff. We'll take Forest Whitley and Kyle Tucker, thanks.

[Scraps 13532]

I mean that end wasn't rocket science. Let Reddick bat and ph Chirinos for White.

I knew right when Chirinos ph for Reddick it was all fucked

[tx 3 putt 76170]

whitley won't see even see a sept call up this year. he's currently on the IL for shoulder fatigue after being bombed the first two months of the season in RR

springer / reddick / brantly - who sits so tucker can get bats every day ? tucker will be a sept call up

yuli is on this team until the end of the 2020 season

 

[UTHornFan014 710]

Did we ever show any real interest in Grandal at catcher? Dude is tearing it up this season and his contract seemed reasonable.

Yep. But I was saying that's who teams are going to want first if we want MLB talent.

Maybe not Whitley anymore, but teams are going to want Tucker for sure.

[UTexasFight 9370]

This game had a very “rock bottom” feel to it.
Incredibly horrible on defense/ everything that could go wrong did go wrong (2 short porch homers, no overturned call on the CF catch, not holding a lead once you finally get one

I think the tide starts turning tomorrow.


(JV still gonna give up a 500’ homer though I fear )

I hope you're right. I fear we lose tomorrow just to put a bow on it and come home and start over.

[David Dennison 18619]

The replies are hilarious.

[UTexasFight 9370]

Yeah my gut says the same.
We need George.
And we need him to step in MLB ready.

[UTexasFight 9370]

 

Baseball can be so cruel.

You set yourself as much as possible, trying to have depth on top of depth and have guys that can play multiple positions

And it still screws you over by knocking out your Marwin replacement and Correa at the same time and leaving your hands tied if someone else on the infield is struggling

Or you could approach it like the Yankees and go get MLB players when your backups to the backups of the starters either get hurt or are not performing and figure it out when everyone gets healthy.

Who do you want to part with?

[tx 3 putt 76170]

who do you trade tucker or whitley for ?

im very pro for trading one for the right piece. i don't see us trading for another bat. when healthy, this roster is set. another starting pitcher is the prize here.

You could
And it ain’t gonna make a shit whether you win 110 or 95 games come the second week of October.

[David Dennison 18619]

Six and a half game lead.

Hurry up and get healthy.

Edit: although, if the Yankees approach doesn’t result in any more regular season wins than the Astros, tomorrow’s game becomes huge for a game played in June 23:

If Astros/Yankees finish with the same record, tomorrow’s game decides who gets home field advantage if they face each other in the playoffs (I’m assuming both win their division)

[tx 3 putt 76170]

Most important game of the season tomorrow

Yes, why would want to act like a team that wants to win a championship in the given window you have.
