Hopefully we get 100 tomorrow to rub Arlington's nose in shit then it leaves us with 7 of 9 games against the Troutless Angels to keep the MFY at bay.

I was hoping it would be CFM & Snell going against them but it looks like McKay vs Sabathia in Game 1 (not good) and Morton vs Happ in Game 2 (very good)

We know LAA & TEX are going to lay down for the Yankees so the Jays & Rays are our only real chances at MFY losses.

I literally love this team

Down south is where I stay, switch 4 lanes, let my nuts, from the antoine to the MLK, these HTown boys like to swang and bang

Cavan Biggio hit for the cycle last night.

 

[UTexasFight 9431]

Took dad how many years?
10? 12?
Not bad, kid.

[Pimphand 5735]

Yeah it was pretty cool that he did it with a triple in the 9th too... Like no pressure your last chance to get the toughest hit in baseball

[Pimphand 5735]

Only the 2nd father & son duo to both have hit for the cycle joining former Astro Daryle Ward and his pops Gary

I didn't see the triple. But if he'd already had one earlier in the game, would he have stopped at second in the ninth? Question is moot but intriguing.

I remember one year when Biggio was going for the doubles record he never would try for a triple.  The ball would be rattling around in the corner and Biggio would just jog into second base.  And that was in the Dome which was a great park for triples.  56 doubles.  0 triples.

[Felix 607]

Baggy still gives him shit about it every time he's in the booth and it's hilarious.

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Did Craig ever do it on a HR?

Yes.  He would immediately start signalling for a ground-rule double.

[Pimphand 5735]

Lots of big shit on the line tonight...

1) Undefeated against Arlington at Minute Maid 

2) Playoff clinch with a win

3) 3rd consecutive 100 win season becoming only the 6th franchise and 6th time in MLB history this has been done

4) With 8 strikeouts Cole would become the 3rd pitcher in franchise history to record 300 Ks in a season (1986 Mike Scott & 1978-79 J.R. Richard)

If #4 happens then it swings the door wide open for Verlander to get 17 strikeouts across his final two starts (assuming Hinch doesn't screw him) for he and Cole to become only the 2nd pair of teammates to strike out 300 in a season.  2002 Johnson & Schilling being the only instance so far in history.

[WBT 20561]

Cole should hit 300 by the 4th inning

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Probably would look good with an orange trucker hat.

Hinch said yesterday that this was the plan. He's basically rehabbing in the bigs because he got only one game with RR.

Yes.  I like this lineup.

Aaron Sanchez had shoulder surgery last week in California, per Tags.

Let me guess. Is it because Reddick is on the bench?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

A couple of injury updates:

[Pimphand 5735]

I hope Strom can turn dirty Sanchez around next season but more concerned about McHugh & Peacock at this juncture.

[TonyTexas 10510]

While it’s a pretty useless stat, Osuna is the youngest pitcher ever to reach 150 saves. It’s easy to forget that he’s only 24 y.o.

[Scraps 13561]

A's just walked off shitty KC

KC taking the one they did was pretty much best case scenario.

I know Diaz is probably better, but I would prefer Toro at third.

[Mo Horn 8832]

That was a phenomenal play

Bullshit on that K

[Wishbone 4759]

There’s no way we can let Cole go.Can’t see this team without him anymore. Need to get creative.

[WBT 20561]

lolrangers

[Scraps 13561]

Nice throw moron lol

[Johnny Sack 8397]

I’d have sent Gurriel there.  With Maldonado on deck and two outs.
