Let’s fucking go Toro

[Scraps 13561]

Well this is gonna be awesome when Toro clears the bases for his first hit

[UTexasFight 9432]

Good feeling with toro here

[Scraps 13561]

Ok maybe not lol....still awesome

[Limp Brisket 546]

Lets go rook!

[Tommy Nobis 905]

No fucking clutch hitting.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Good call...

[Wishbone 4760]

Another 3 lob.

[Mo Horn 8835]

Toro not having a stellar first game. Hit one ball hard but foul. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Ok maybe not lol....still awesome

What was awesome?

[Limp Brisket 546]

I wish Toro would’ve made the pitcher sweat and make the pitches.  

[Scraps 13561]

What was awesome?

We scored dicknose thats whats awesome

[Tommy Nobis 905]

We scored before your Toro gonna clear the bases comment. Still don’t know what’s awesome about stranding 3 with 1 out but to each their own. I can’t get hard over scoring 3 runs against a really really shitty team.

[Scraps 13561]

No dumbass that comment was about what Toro did when we scored

 

And yeah cause you are a dipshit that thinks we are gonna score 13 a game and hold every team to 0 runs every night like about 3 other posters here.

 

Have you ever tried to hit a baseball dumbass? Its not that easy

[Mo Horn 8835]

We better score multiple runs here. 

[henrygandorf 29190]

oh hey the bases are loaded.  again.

[Wishbone 4760]

Uncle Mike!

[henrygandorf 29190]

stropoll didn't even include correa (1-1) or altuve (mvp, multiple batting titles).

we're so spoiled.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Verlander’s like where the fuck was this last night?

[Wishbone 4760]

Verlander expression in the dugout: “where was that shit last night”

Dammit, Brisket beat me to it.

[henrygandorf 29190]

is it possible to hit a quiet .338?

[Wishbone 4760]

Lol! Bregs was out.

[Fozzz 152]

Great pitch by Ramirez, but a better take by Alvarez. 

[Wishbone 4760]

This looks more like it!

[tx 3 putt 76947]

Toro Toro Toro !!!!!

[clapclapclap 9000]

Nice "non-clutch" hitting.

[Mo Horn 8835]

This is the team we've come to know

[tx 3 putt 76947]

Womp Womp 

[Wishbone 4760]

Ole

[Honeysucklerose 987]

[Wishbone 4760]

Why is he here but not Kyle Tucker?

[Wishbone 4760]

He’s an infielder.

[Scraps 13561]

Two totally different positions...come on surly

Okay. I don't know what position Tucker plays.

He's an infielder... but it is odd that Tucker hasn't had a chance with all the call ups we've had this year. There's got to be more to the story. 

[Wishbone 4760]

And another 3 lob. But at least we didn’t waste all the loaded opportunities.

with yordan up and hinch's affection for using the dh as an "off-day" for a fielder, there isn't room.  with spring, reddick, jake, brantley, yordan - it would be tough to get tucker everyday ab.  they're not gonna call him up just to play here and there.  all our injuries have been in the infield (because that's where correa lives).

the only "more" to the story must be that tucker is not ready to play first in a meaningful mlb game.

Perhaps they are reluctant to burn any options on him at this point.

Say no more. I understand now

All good points. Springer was out for a while and Reddick has sucked for much of the year. Just thought they might want to give him at least a few days. They called others up for just one or two games. 

[Wishbone 4760]

I love having JV and Cole, but I lean toward Cole as my fave starter at this point for sure.

[Wishbone 4760]

Cole was sick tonight. Pitched pissed. Love it.

That's not how it works.  Once you're on the 40 man, any time more than 20 days spent in the minors makes it an option year.
