Do it now.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

This ump has been giving this fat fuck pitches outside the zone all night

[WBT 20,397]

Productive out

[tx 3 putt 76,158]

Damn Yuli 

[Scraps 13,531]

[Planet Houston 4,922]

JV gonna have to go the distance, the way the bullpen has been lately.

We are going to win.……dammit.

Reddick's WAR is down to 0.3

[UTexasFight 9,369]

JV gonna fuck around and get to 3,000 Ks this year...
I keep waiting for him to fall off the pace but he keeps going out there and putting up double digit K starts.

Currently on an (Astros record) streak of 6 in a row (if I heard Ford correctly)

[UTexasFight 9,369]

That was a terrible AB
Ahead 3-0 and pop up a 3-1 pitch on the infield

He sucks. His OPS is now in the 600s.

[runthebone 7,929]

Verlander may need to go one more.

It's really like clockwork.  6-7 IP, 10-14 Ks, 1-2 solo HRs, 2-3 other hits.

Oakland broadcast confirmed.  Randy Johnson and JR with 5.

He needs 66 after tonight.
He’s on track for 7 more starts.
That’s an average of 9.4 Ks per game.

I’m still betting he gets it at the banner raising on March 26, 2020.

[tx 3 putt 76,158]

great night for yordan 

[UTexasFight 9,369]

The rumors of Yordan’s demise were greatly exaggerated

[WBT 20,397]

Yordan 2 for 2 with 2 walks.  Maybe he's coming out of his minislump.

[tx 3 putt 76,158]

pick up jake, correa !!

[Halohal 498]

yordan, 15th double. Let's do this

[UTHornFan014 710]

I have an unbelievable amount of faith in our bullpen

[Halohal 498]

Cha cha cha this mutha Correa

[Gourmand 7,774]

so fuckin dumb taking his bat out of the game to pinch run

Edited August 17, 2019 by Gourmand

[UTHornFan014 710]

Why Correa gotta stare at two fastballs down the middle?

[tx 3 putt 76,158]

4 fly outs to right

damn, sucks for jv

If you have any, I can't believe it

 

[Halohal 498]

No decision for JV

[UTexasFight 9,369]

Yeah I get it if he was in LF tonight and you were taking his glove out of the game too.

 

But taking Yordan’s bat and Brantley’s glove for Jake’s legs and glove?

Ehhh

 

We’ll see

 

 

Edit: holy shit. No other changes? Really just burned Yordan AND Jake right there?

The next time he swings at a first pitch fastball will be the first time.  At least it seems that way.  He’s always giving pitchers at least one freebie.

Someone needs to post the facts on this again
I remember we all thought the same last year but the numbers actually showed it wasn’t much different than league average or something like that

Jake is still the DH.  He couldn't go into the field or we would lose the DH.

Pressly looked great.  Get right back on that horse.  

[tx 3 putt 76,158]

100% you pinch run him there, every time

Here's against first pitch four seamers.  Nothing stands out as too unusual to me

I didn't mind it as much tonight.  The other day it was a tie game in the 8th with a runner on 2nd and Yordan on 1st.  In that case his run isn't that important and I'd rather leave him in in case the lineup rolls over again in extras.

incorrect. he's probably the best hitter on the team.

[UTHornFan014 710]

Terrible call on that 2-0 pitch to Chorizo

Ha, I find myself forgetting about DH stuff too.  f bud

[UTHornFan014 710]

And can someone kneecap Chapman? I'm tired of him turning all our hard hit balls in to outs

[Tommy Nobis 905]

A’s have been getting a ton of border line calls all night.

[perfectchaos007 6,593]

Not feeling good about this bottom of the 9th
