Probably should have IBB’d trout with the bases loaded too. 

No you idiot, that would have guaranteed them a run. Never give up just one run when you can give up 4!

[Elmer_Fudd 22332]

Bases loaded no out and can't score a run.  Choo strike outs, Odor strikes out after swinging at ball 4, then a line out.

And then Trout happened

[Surly Bevo 25224]

This is settling in to the General shitshow I expected this year.

Plus a swarm of bees.

uhhh wtf is this?

 

 

[TheFlagship 436]

Just a little cup check

[Pato del Muerto 52638]

Outfielders usually don’t wear cups...

[Junior Miller 1502]

Well, good baseball season boys. Great 7 games. Time for NHL playoffs and sports hibernation until Sept. See you next March 29th baseball!

[Pato del Muerto 52638]

So proud of them for being at .500 this far into the season.

So we suck again?

The #MeatNGreet is dead

 

Mazara sounds reluctant to let go of the dick grabbing, so to say:

Bases loaded, no outs. Left 3 stranded. 

[Vic Mackey 47182]

Bases loaded, no outs. Left 3 stranded. 

Is that good?

[mdmost 43060]

Well, if they'd like to get back to .500 anytime soon, no given the Rangers were the ones with the base loaded. Not sure why the offense went to shit after game 1 in Anaheim. 

[dcar00 14382]

Hot Tub Hunter!!

[mdmost 43060]

Well well. Stars win at the same time Pence launches. 

[mdmost 43060]

He was safe. 

[dcar00 14382]

holy shit...

[mdmost 43060]

LeClerc's got something wrong in his head. 2 straight plunked batters. 

[dcar00 14382]

has no idea where the fastball is going.

[Vic Mackey 47182]

I hate bringing in closers in non save situations. It shouldn't matter but it does too often. It's all mental for them. Still, he's in a funk right now. Hope he can get these final 2 outs and get out of here with a win.

[dcar00 14382]

this is ridiculous.

[Vic Mackey 47182]

So the one guy we count on now looks like shit. 

[dcar00 14382]

they are going to blow this game.  unreal.

[dcar00 14382]

wow. can't believe he swung at that.

[mdmost 43060]

Whew

[Firemans4Horn 18132]

What a snag

[Vic Mackey 47182]

Nice snag! Got out of that jam. Good win.

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3861]

The fans hate going to turf, but at least the players hate it.

Quote

Gallo, who played center on Tuesday and was in left field on Wednesday, said it would be difficult to envision playing 81 games a season on the turf as it is now. There is expectation that this is just temporary and that the field will mature with usage.

"It was a bit concerning," Gallo said. "I thought it would a little different than it was, but it felt just like any other turf. We talked to some of [the Arizona] players, and they said to be ready to ice your legs."

Said Mazara: "It doesn't [feel] right, right now. It was a little too soft, and I feel like I sunk in a little."

 

[Vic Mackey 47182]

Because it's stupid as fuck and just the Rangers being cheap. Any one why tries to justify that turf is a moron.

[mdmost 43060]

Yeah but then the new stadium can be a multi-use facility! Because fans really give a shit about that.

[Pato del Muerto 52638]

The old stadium is hosting a soccer game in a couple of months.  Doesn’t that make it a multi use facility?

[mdmost 43060]

Unless I missed a lot of these things, I don't remember the Ballpark hosting non-baseball things outside of an occasional concert till this year. But come on, the new place is going to be used for all kinds of shit because it's indoors and you don't have to worry about killing the grass. That was definitely a factor in the grass/non-grass issue. It will be quite ironic if we spent years hearing players don't want to come to Arlington for the heat only to get that solved and players don't want to come here because the player surface sucks and possibly shortens their careers.

Very unChoolike getting a double there. 

[dcar00 14382]

nice hanging breaking ball.

[Elmer_Fudd 22332]

This bullpen is nothing but trash.  Chris Martin is #6 or #7 in just about any body else's bullpen.

[SurlyBDR 22863]

Choo Choo, mother fucker
