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

Yep, Correa ain’t no Toro.

[Scraps 13,799]

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 8,937]

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 2,425]

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

[TexArcher 39,064]

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 3,569]

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

[Scraps 13,799]

Bregman just pimp slapped the umps

[Mo Horn 8,937]

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

[Halohal 525]

Bats, here we go...

[Mez2 4,048]

Maybe our Aids infested offense can score a run?

[Guadaloopy 11,129]

Yordan and Piña bout to go off.  

[Pimphand 6,369]

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 525]

Hell,ya

Errytime!

Joe West in the building?

[Scraps 13,799]

Yuli for MVP

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Was that Derka?

[Mo Horn 8,937]

Game of inches 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,908]

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

If we got the HR then clearly not...

[Honeysucklerose 1,006]

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 525]

Is the crowd a non factor with these gypsies

[Limp Brisket 549]

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

[Pimphand 6,369]

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 6,369]

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

[UTexasFight 9,814]

THAT was an at bat

[UTexasFight 9,814]

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

[Pimphand 6,369]

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 6,369]

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 8,937]

Angel on the headset with his mask on 

Lol

[Pimphand 6,369]

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

[Scraps 13,799]

Fucking Chirinos!!!! Needed that K lol

[FondrenRoad 4,378]

Looked safe to me but whatever. 

[Guadaloopy 11,129]

Hey there, Angel.  

[Mo Horn 8,937]

CRUSHED

[Guadaloopy 11,129]

MVP!  MVP!

[WBT 20,972]

Bregs!!

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

[TexArcher 39,064]

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