Walking Reddick to bring up Springer is an interesting strategy.

And yes, I realize it wasn’t on purpose.

It worked for them, ugh.

[YChang 3531]

Ok ok ok... I won’t be too greedy. No style points tonight, but please win. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

If Osuna can’t close against the O’s 6-7-8 hitters than fuck him

[Wishbone 4924]

Yep. Finish it now.

the unis we are wearing makes me nostalgic for my childhood. We were the only team in MLB without a gray road uni.

Actually those unis were light grey however the first several years we wore the rainbow unis we wore them home and away so we had no road per say.

Eventually they started wearing tonight’s unis on the road and they are actually grey.

Zach Greinke can still root for his former team this weekend if he wants

BAL is giving up 6.2 runs per game this season, easily the worst in MLB. The Astros are scoring 5.4 runs per game and have the best hitting team (122 wRC+) in MLB. 

The Astros are averaging 3 runs per game against BAL this season, with a high of 4 (in 4 games). 

Baseball is weird.

Really? I thought they were cream as opposed to the whites we wore at home. These were the unis we wore before we went to the open star look in 94

I remember walling as a good clutch hitter, and especially what he did against the Dodgers in the playoffs, getting game winning hits in 2 games in the series.

Edited August 10, 2019 by Focht Up

[henrygandorf 29221]

was denny walling the other side of the craig reynolds platoon?

 

[WBT 20884]

No, it was Walling and Scrap Iron at 3rd and Reynolds and Thon at SS.  That was in '86 anyway which is the first year I remember.

And not many 300 pounders can say that.

[WBT 20884]

Kenley gives up a leadoff single then a 2 run homer in the top of the 9th to tie it.  Carson Kelly played the role of Marwin Gonzalez.  The Dodgers have two fucking hits.

Great white strikes out to end the 10th.  He went from leadoff the other night to batting 8th tonight.

That Kelly guy just hit a solo shot to put the DBacks up 1

Shout out to mike fiers, he’s been on fire the season

The Dbacks hang on to win and hold the Dodgers to 2 hits over 11 innings.  We pick up a game on the Yankees and Dodgers tonight and all 3 teams are now 36 over .500.

[Mez2 4041]

Those teams agree homors

[henrygandorf 29221]

best record in mlb (tied, but own tie- breaker)  

not sure when we were last in the driver’s seat.

let’s fucking go.
