Discouraging start w error. Discouraging crowd (on TV).

Very nice job by McHugh to finish top of first. Go Astros!

MrKnuckleball · « **Reply #2 on:** September 10, 2016, 12:25:29 pm »

One thing I'm noticing about Altuve during his slump is he's swinging early and not really working the count much at all.

David in Jackson · « **Reply #3 on:** September 10, 2016, 12:31:07 pm »

Boy, Heyward has been terrible this year.

David in Jackson · « **Reply #4 on:** September 10, 2016, 12:44:37 pm »

Lackey really comes off as a horse's***.

MrKnuckleball · « **Reply #5 on:** September 10, 2016, 12:45:07 pm »

Freaking Castro. Way to go man, swing at the first one after he just walked two in a row.

WVastro · « **Reply #6 on:** September 10, 2016, 12:48:33 pm »

That was a ball Lackey. Quit acting like a child.

WVastro · « **Reply #7 on:** September 10, 2016, 12:52:25 pm »

All of Lackey's bitching bought him strike three against Marisnick. Go ahead and act like a spoiled little shit, McHugh.

That was definitely outside the zone. Either the ump decided he owed him one or he wanted the prick off of his back. Or he just blew it.

Was there a Correa update today?

WVastro · « **Reply #10 on:** September 10, 2016, 01:06:47 pm »

Bregman!

MrKnuckleball · « **Reply #11 on:** September 10, 2016, 01:06:50 pm »

Have a little bit of Bregman, Lackey!

MrKnuckleball · « **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2016, 01:11:25 pm »

That Yuli keeps hitting, nice squeeze Marwin!

Hinch didn't want him in today because of the early game but maybe tomorrow night.

Any mention of what the game delay was for?

Medical issue in the stands near the field.

I feel like I'm watching late night CNN. These two guys are about exciting as tapioca pudding.

Also, fuck the Cubs.

MRaup · « **Reply #17 on:** September 10, 2016, 01:26:24 pm »

Jesus Christ, Springer. You had an easy assist on that one if you got it anywhere NEAR home. What a dogshit throw from shallow right.

MRaup · « **Reply #18 on:** September 10, 2016, 01:33:20 pm »

Oh boy. Commence inning long David Ross blowjob. This is riveting TV.

MRaup · « **Reply #19 on:** September 10, 2016, 01:35:53 pm »

This is fucking unwatchable.

Also, how many caught stealings does it take to realize the Cubs catchers have good arms?

MRaup · « **Reply #20 on:** September 10, 2016, 01:44:33 pm »

This just in.

The Rangers kick the Astros ass because Ken Giles might've said something disparaging about how good the Rangers were earlier this year.

Jesus Christ, I miss Ashby.

There could be no other reason. Clearly the Rangers are tied to their phones waiting for the latest Twitter update from Ken fucking Giles.

he's had a lousy game so far.

juliogotay · « **Reply #23 on:** September 10, 2016, 02:23:19 pm »

why is it news that the bottom of the Astros lineup is not as good as the top of the order? Isn't that the way most clubs are?
Smoltz has brought that up twice now.

MrKnuckleball · « **Reply #24 on:** September 10, 2016, 02:29:53 pm »

If he didn't stumble around second he probably would have been safe. Damn

Tagging the foot like that is just bad luck.

FTC and their turd fans stinking up the joint. Six more outs.

Kemp pinch hits for Altuve?

Wtf. Is Jose hurt now also?

MRaup · « **Reply #31 on:** September 10, 2016, 02:49:48 pm »

This broadcast is awful.

No pitch tracking at all, and all we get is John Smoltz schlobbing Cub Pitcher knob when pitches are close.

I didn't think Fox could get worse at broadcasting baseball, and I was WRONG.

David in Jackson · « **Reply #32 on:** September 10, 2016, 02:55:39 pm »

After last September's bullpen meltdowns, this is why we traded five players for Giles. Let's do it.

AJ looked up from his spreadsheets to show mild displeasure. at least once.

Leaving the game today, there was a ten-year old boy decked out full Cubs crying his eyes out. It was the best thing I've seen this season.

You are counting Appel as an entire player?
