OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: The Sky is Falling

[DanielPlainview]

Marte's been cursed

 

[DanielPlainview]

Bell! About damn time

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Bell <3

 

[DJ Spinoza]

BOOM

 

[DJ Spinoza]

I have Framber Valdez on my fantasy team and giving up HRs is extra bad because the stats are skewed for WAR-related stuff, but I'll gladly take a brutal -30 or -40 if we can hit a bunch of god damn dingers tonight.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Well that's not good

 

[Scandale du Jour]

First pitch, home run, ouch

 

[DJ Spinoza]

I don't think we're going to be very successful in a shootout with the Astros offense in Minute Maid Park.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Pitch didn't have any movement at all. Just on a rope middle-middle

 

[DanielPlainview]

Nice recovery though

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Crucial defensive play there from Osuna. I have a feeling that our success in this game will come down to keeping a limited number of guys on the base so that Agrazal can get through 5 IP only facing the order twice. And also scoring a good number of runs, like 6+.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Not terrible considering how the inning started. Should be able to have a decent outing if he avoids the meatballs, which honestly seems like a complete fluke

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Yeah good recovery overall. I see what Wehner is saying about the release point, so it's especially encouraging that he's still able to locate multiple pitches on the edges of the plate. Hopefully he can work himself into a groove for a couple of innings.

I hope the bats are out in full force tonight. Would be nice to see some life from the bottom of the order... I don't like Kang being in there unless this is basically one of his very last shots before being DFA'd.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

The leadoff double and bases loaded strategies are dead ends, we've been over this.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Maybe Marte getting robbed was the last of the bad luck

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Dickerson knocks the run in and gets the hustle double.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

The leadoff double and bases loaded strategies are dead ends, we've been over this.

Well, they got the leadoff hitter home for once!

 

[DJ Spinoza]

 

[DanielPlainview]

Kang-Frazier is a momentum-killing blackhole in this lineup. (Can we petition NASA to name the next blackhole they find the Frazier-Kang blackhole?)

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Yeah, I'd rather see Dario getting ABs.

Huge hit from Newman with 2 outs! That's the kind of shit we need to pull this game out!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Newman! 4 runs won't be enough though.

 

[DanielPlainview]

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Yeah, I'd rather see Dario getting ABs.

Huge hit from Newman with 2 outs! That's the kind of **** we need to pull this game out!

Kid is the real deal. Not just about hits...."when" he gets them. Between Newman, Reynolds, and Bell theres alot to look forward to.

Now get Tucker back up.

 

[DanielPlainview]

f*** you Hurdle.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

f*** Hurdle, now and forever
