Yordan is going to own the derby at some point.  

That's what I told my buddy.  Next year's big show will be Vlad vs Yordan.  They'll hit over a hundred homers each and the winner will be so exhausted he loses to Trey Mancini in the final.

From the waist up, I imagine.

[UTPhil2006 3807]

So is Correa coming off the DL Thursday?  Can't really find any info on it.

[kevwun 15783]

They’ll send him to corpus or round rock for at least 3 or 4 games I imagine.  Maybe more since it was a core injury.

dead man walking. and he knows it

[runthebone 7981]

He's going to be stealing every bit of memorabilia and gear he can get his hands on.  That's what I would do, too.

 

"Hey, guys, do you mind signing these 200 balls for...my cousin?"

Substitute “shower” for “greasy McDonald’s floor” and I’d believe it

It's not worthy of the commercial thread, but the HEB spot where Correa is strumming the guitar and singing "chocolate, caliente, Mexicano, yada, yada yada" sends me into an irrational rage.

You have to get through that to get to the hilarity that is Jose Altuve.

"It's gooooooood."

[TonyTexas 10510]

This is good news. He’s pitched 5 innings in the minors and given up 0 runs, 1 hit, 1 bb. Urquidy or Sneed seem the logical send down but the team is only carrying 12 pitchers right now and they play 14 days in a row coming out of the break. Myles might get the short straw.

At the game Friday, they were advertising a Tyler White meet and greet.  At Freddy’s. Sounds about right.  

[Mez2 4023]

Sneed would be the guy going down, IMO

[Scraps 13561]

Just send Sneed, Urquidy, White and Straw out and bring back Smith, Diaz, Correa and someone who can get through more than 3 innings as a starter.

Diaz has been on the shelf for over a month.  Did the dude rip his hammy in half? - "discomfort" my ass!

It depends on if Urquidy is the TBD starter on Monday.

It’s unofficially official that Peacock will be making that start

Hmmm. Valdez isn’t even on the roster. I guess Urquidy gets sent down for him.

I need to caveat my source...it was Ford and sparks during sunday’s game indicating Valdez would likely be the Thursday starter. I can’t remember if they were referencing Luhnow’s pregame comments or if there were other hints that led them to believe that.

Reed going straight to the AAAA squad. Will open the 2nd half on the White Sox.

wish he had worked out in our system. As it is, I’m glad we’re at a point that we can DFA major leaguers.

O/u on JV bombs tomorrow night?
1.5 feels right (and I’m taking the over)

Cora stated on the radio he has already mapped out the 1st 5 innings and he listed 5 different pitchers.  I am not a math major, but I think it is safe to assume JV is only going 1 tonight so you may want to redo your layout you had on a previous post lol

Every once in awhile a 1st baseman needs a dirt and worms sundae

[Scraps 13561]

Brantley Springer Bregman mic’d up during game and can talk to each other in play.  This should be fun

[Limp Brisket 546]

C’mon JV!  

[Rip76 4925]

Clean

[UTexasFight 9432]

 

Yeah, I’m well aware he’ll pitch 2 innings at most.

I’m also aware, best case, he’ll face four lefties and won’t face a guy with less than 20 HRs this year:

Yelich (31)

Baez (22)

Freeman (23)

Bellinger (30)

Arenado (20)

Bell (27)

 

I love JV and feel good he’ll be there when we need him in October, but like Clemens in 2004, I’m afraid he gets roughed up tomorrow.

 

Yelich: HR

Baez: K

Freeman: BB

Bellinger: K

Arenado: K (passed ball)

Bell: HR

Contreras: K

 

The rare 4 K, 2 HR inning with no balls in the field of play

 

Wrong!

post less

 

what an idiot

Springer talking about how hard it is to see over LeMahieu. He's used to Altuve

Do not, even indirectly, criticize the greatness that is HEB's Mexican Hot Chocolate ice cream.
