Trots out the “Yuli shouldn’t have even been in the game” canard.  The twitterverse wanted a one game suspension that would have been served on Saturday.  He would have been on the field last night anyway.

Yuli has been a major piece of the Astros success, but it's so fucking annoying that this one complete brain shart (it's too nasty just to be a fart) will be woven in to every story written about this series.  If he hits the game/series winner, it will be right at the top of every story written about this series.

* Sigh *

100% agree.  It’s a black fly in our chardonnay.

He trotted out everything, nevermind the Players Association is an actual thing.  Lucky for Yuli Bagwell and Ausmus are somewhere else, but, a pterodactyl, that could be fun.

This Jonah Keri article has a lot of good gifs. Any of those could have been a highlight of an exciting game.

If we win, they can write whatever they want for as long as they want.
