Stuntin' on em

[rvm96 1643]

Bregman can feel his grasp on the MVP trophy growing

[Guadaloopy 10960]

I hope everyone is mentally prepared for Correa winning WS MVP.  

[WBT 20561]

[huge 3793]

Guys. Let’s concentrate on the trophy that matters.

Let Trout pile up those others.

[Pimphand 5735]

Ji-Man with the walk off yack against the MFY. Magic number for HFA down to 4.

I understand the sentiment. But Bregs is the best in the AL with an injured Trout. Give the man his hardware.

Cole just passed Scottie.  Damn he was good in 86.

That got me thinking. If this team plays the 86 team in a 7 game series, does the 86 team even win a game?  Same with the 2005 squad.  Those teams had some glaring weaknesses, and so did the WS winners those years. It's crazy how good this team is, and with how good the other playoff teams have been over the last few years, there are still no guarantees. The 2019 Yankees and Dodgers look like they could walk through an 86 WS win as well.

AL wild card team is going to be a mother fucker

Plus the last two AL MVPs also got the trophy that matters.

[Mo Horn 8831]

Yankees lost so one less on the magic number to HFA

[thetruth 149]

Cole's shit is so nasty tonight the ump doesn't even know where the ball is

[elfenix 34228]

It's possible that 4 AL playoff teams have 100 wins.

Hoping for Indians at this point.

It don’t make a shit.  

[Pimphand 5735]

I would rather play the Rays than either the Athletics or the Indians but whatever. If you are gonna win the world series you have to beat all comers no matter what. I'd much rather have HFA than worry about matchups.

[UTexasFight 9431]

Agreed with “it don’t make a shit.”

That said

Indians, A’s, Rays in that order for me

 

Don’t really want the Rays.

We’ll beat em but it’ll take 4 or 5 and fuck up the LCS rotation (don’t forgot about our little house of horrors down in Tampa)

A’s would take 3 or 4 games

Indians we’d sweep. Swept them in 2018. we’re better than we were in 2018 and they’re worse

 

 

[runthebone 7967]

This CY race is going down to the wire

[Cooder 37]

Is co-cy young possible? If so, this is the year to award it.

[UTexasFight 9431]

This CY race is going down to the wire

Poor Angels

Urquidy pitching for a 4th spot in the playoffs.
JV/Cole pitching for a Cy Young
A bunch of relievers pitching for a spot on the postseason roster.

No Trout/Ohtani/Upton...

[TexArcher 37771]

I don't really care who we play.  Just get the 1 seed.  Look at our home record.

And Minny will take at least one game from NYY.  So if our series goes 4 or 5, it just means we missed some extra rest.  

[runthebone 7967]

I was listening to Jon Miller do the Giants game tonight.  He mentioned that the Giants have 3 players with 20 home runs this year.

 

I started laughing.  The Astros have 7.

[UTexasFight 9431]

Yes
They *should be 1 and 2 on every ballot.
I’m sure some fuckstick will vote some other clown in one of those spots but assuming not and assuming half out JV at 1 and Cole at 2 and half do vice verse, sure.

[tx 3 putt 76881]

weird slide there for diaz

What’s crazy is I think this is their first year with even one guy with 20 since 2015 or something absurd like that

 

Edit: yep. Crawford with 21 in 2015. Last time before this year the Giants had a guy get to 20 in a single season

[tx 3 putt 76881]

cole is on fucking fire tonight !!!!

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[cabowabo 4484]

Just sick...

[elfenix 34228]

Another k! 14 thru 7!

[UTexasFight 9431]

A buddy asked me tonight my % guess cole is back next year.

I said less than 25%

 

I think it gets lower and lower for every K he puts up

 

[Planet Houston 4930]

No words for how sick Cole is. 

[UTHornFan014 710]

If Cole has another start like this I think he is going to win the Cy Young

[cabowabo 4484]

We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow....

[UTexasFight 9431]

Pitcher to close out the World Series:
Osuna/ColeJV


I think each has the same odds at this point

[UTHornFan014 710]

I really hope Brantley breaks out of his slump this last week

[Cooder 37]

Give whatever money you thought about giving Correa to Cole. Houston cannot allow him to pitch for another team next season.

I'm all for making a respectable run to re-sign Cole, but getting Springer extended is priority #1 for the future of this team.

take that 500mil and resign springer / cole 

[Guadaloopy 10960]

What a night to be a Mariner hitter.  You get 7 innings of peak Cole and then get a fresh Pressly.

Well, JV has one more, too.  I'm sure he'll be motivated not to finish second again.

[Cooder 37]

Pressly looks likes he’s throwing a curveball for the first time tonight

[Mack Tripper 696]

Yeah about that.

[UTexasFight 9431]

Hey AJ, quit talking to Cole and get someone up in the bullpen!

[Mack Tripper 696]

Some strikes would be nice.

[Guadaloopy 10960]

ahem

[runthebone 7967]

Hope he just sucks and isn't hurt.

[Guadaloopy 10960]

I bet he hates Cheryl's She-Shed commercial.
