Verlander going to get 21 k’s, no hitter and lose 

Yep, Correa ain’t no Toro.

[Scraps 13538]

I’ll be glad when he gets there so you stop doing this.

Sorry for Greinke I will be sure to start it at 100

[Mo Horn 8807]

As great as this lineup is, we do a good job of tuning a .500 pitcher into Cy Young at times.

Meh, he’s committed now. I’m cool with it. Major milestone.

There have only been 17 players to strike out 3,000 batters in their careers JV will become the 18th.  JV will also be the 2nd Astro to throw his 3,000th strikeout as a member of the club joining Nolan Ryan.  The Astros got really close with Sutton but traded him to the Brewers the year before he hit 3,000.  Of course he was very much well past his prime at that point.

11 bitches

[Jshep34 2303]

Top of strike zone is the chest/letters of jersey. Sit down and take the strike out

[TexArcher 37506]

Go sit down, Rougie.

Maybe we should start counting down how many strikeouts Odor has left before he's out of baseball and working on cars in some valley shithole?

LOL well he's just under 400 away so you're looking at 2022 as a guess which means he'd need to re-sign here as a free agent...

[YChang 3430]

Didn’t the team get the memo about not playing down to the competition? 

[Scraps 13538]

Bregman just pimp slapped the umps

[Mo Horn 8807]

Don't think even n.y can screw us on this one

[Halohal 498]

Bats, here we go...

[Mez2 4020]

Maybe our Aids infested offense can score a run?

[Guadaloopy 10917]

Yordan and Piña bout to go off.  

[Pimphand 5592]

Give Lynn a little credit.   This is a good preview of playoff pitching.

Somehow this lineup will only score 1 run. Baseball is weird like that

It is a JV start after all.  What else is expected?

[Halohal 498]

Hell,ya

Errytime!

Joe West in the building?

[Scraps 13538]

Yuli for MVP

[clapclapclap 9000]

Was that Derka?

[Mo Horn 8807]

Game of inches 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4750]

Let’s stretch out this inning ... Yuli needs a rest.

If we got the HR then clearly not...

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Trade Correa. I can’t stand watching that idiot

Half season MVP for sure. Lynn's pitches have been pretty filthy tonight including the one Yuli hit out.

Made it through two seconds of that.

[Halohal 498]

Is the crowd a non factor with these gypsies

[Limp Brisket 546]

Reddick picked up some dirt and rubbed it into his batting gloves.  There is some shit going on here between them?

[Pimphand 5592]

LOL

Well at least Reddick is fouling off that stuff but I sure wish he was more selective and standing on first base so Springer would get a chance to hit this inning.

[Pimphand 5592]

Guess he was trying to drive up Lynn's pitch count LMFAO

[UTexasFight 9375]

THAT was an at bat

[UTexasFight 9375]

I will never question a guy swinging rather than taking when Hernandez is behind the plate

[Pimphand 5592]

Yeah an 8 pitch walk where he fouled off two clear balls which kept him from striking out but would have gotten him on base had he watched them only to still get there by burning two more pitches. 

I'm sure that got some WOOOOs from the crowd

It is the MLB version of Russian Roulette

[Pimphand 5592]

So close to 4-0 but at least we made Lynn throw 34 pitches that inning compared the 41 he had thrown the previous 4.  Hope JV stayed warm.

I hope this is reverse jinx type stuff, because if not... Well, I just hope this a reverse jinx.

Ahhhhhhahahahaha, suck it, Arlington.

[Mo Horn 8807]

Angel on the headset with his mask on 

Lol

[Pimphand 5592]

I get the feeling JV wants to get both 3,000 and 300 on the same night in Anaheim on 9/27 ;-)

[Scraps 13538]

Fucking Chirinos!!!! Needed that K lol

[FondrenRoad 4378]

Looked safe to me but whatever. 

[Guadaloopy 10917]

Hey there, Angel.  

[Mo Horn 8807]

CRUSHED

[Guadaloopy 10917]

MVP!  MVP!

[WBT 20411]

Bregs!!

Good to extend the lead if we're going to pull JV for some reason.

[TexArcher 37506]

The Rangers broadcasters defended Angel Hernandez's shit strikeout call, then questioned Bregs for taking the first pitch, then they got really fucking quiet.
