Title: Astros at Rays: June 29
Post by: geezerdonk on June 29, 2018, 05:06:25 pm
No Springer, no Correa, no Gurriel, Reed in the lineup - taking on the Rays short handed.  Cole is going to have to be extra sharp.

They haven’t actually said but that would be my guess. In my opinion, it is long overdue. He just needs 24 hours to relax and recharge.

I’m not surprised they’re not in the lineup. No one else is here either.

Whoa, Neil's back!

Font’s bold pitching has followed a super script.

So far the tarpon are safe from me.   Tye was pretty much sitting next to us.  I’m surprised he could see us for all the orange.

Not trying to be a comic but the Astros are sans hits against Font.

Really underlines the need for another hitter.

Yeah, that play has to be made.

ETA: That's a big swing. Should have been out of the inning with one run.

Seriously? That was an easy play? How about making a decent throw? He had time.

Marwin also has to not throw it three feet short.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. That wasn't solely Reed's fault, but the team needs to make that play. Marwin's throw was pretty lousy, and he probably hurried unnecessarily. He did the same thing last night.

Not easy having a pitcher change mid at-bat. Bregman is still hot.

I really wanted to get down there for this series, but Neil told me to go fuck myself.

Tough with 1/3rd of the lineup out.  Two critical errors didn’t help.

Gotta go get em tomorrow.

This strikes me as perfectly plausible.

I guess you could also have asked an usher where the guy in the suspenders and bow tie is. Of course, they might say, The clowns that are blowing dog balloons are over there and you would have to explain, No, the guy is wearing boat shoes. Oh! she'd say, He's in 124.

Just shouting does seem more efficient, really, now that I think about it.

You know, my mother for years suffered a disconcertingly relentless cough. It was loud, persistent and unbelievably annoying, even for someone as patient and forgiving as I am. (She lives with my brother who is basically a crazy version of me, so you can imagine that particular domestic scene...) The small upside to the cough was it acted as an outSTANding geolocation device. If we were to meet in a Target, maybe I'd first ducked into a Hobby Lobby, all I'd need to do is walk in and get past the shopping carts and the weird, random shit they have stacked up, kind of in between that and the watches, and just stand there for a second and listen. It never failed. I could walk straight to her.

Tye’s Exagerrating, and anyway I was the one who had to yell. I looked up an saw him on the same row, next section. We were the only people on the row.

ETA: And neither of us coughed that I noticed. I might have snored some.
