Took a gander at the rangerette thread, they're still *****ing about the umps...dude, you're TEN f***ing games under .500. What lunatics.

about the 8th inning...
- Jake and Dubon cannot get those bases loaded at-bats in close games
have to go to a pinch-hitter for one or both
- Abreu needs to become the 8th inning guy. Pressly can't keep doing that.
a better hitting lineup would have smashed the frisbee sliders that the Rays missed
In the playoffs Dubon won't be getting the start. Assuming Tucker comes back that is.

Rangersan?

What are we thinking (or hoping) for our postseason OF if we make it? Yordan, Meyers, Tuck?
At home I'd be okay with that alignment, but not on the road except for Fenway.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Replied to a poster, then remembered I was 5 pages behind the thread…

Big difference between being 10 games under in April/May than August.
the Royals (65-55) are hitting the skids
throw out KC's record vs. the White Sox...and the Royals have a losing record vs. the other 28 teams in MLB

They were *****ing about umps last night too.. your horrible Arlington, don't ***** about the umps. These are probably the same guys that ***** about the Aggie baseball umps every game .. it gets so old .. makes you want to get off the game threads

At least Hader is (mostly) getting it done.
He has like 23 straight saves
What else should we expect?
Does he know that's Korean?
Wagner hitting .833.
I'm sure the list of guys who have ever had a career batting average of .833 is pretty short.

Yordan Alvarez had some fun with his scoreboard knockout, joking it can’t be proven it was him.

I love the translator. He's not just translating words. He's laughing and adding the emotion and shoulder shrugs.
Who pays these translators? Player, team, MLB, MLPA

There's an Ohtani joke in there somewhere
I know but it's a serious question I just thought of.
The Spanish guy seems like an Astros translator which I would assume is on the team's payroll. But the Asian guys like for Ohtani, Kikuchi, etc seem to be player specific so maybe they are on the player's dime.
Just a random question that crossed my mind after being a few drinks in.

On the flipside Lopes is hitting a buck eleven. I think we might have broke that poor kids heart. I truly hope he bounces back.
I honestly hope for the best for all 4 players in that trade. The Jays are an easy non Houston team to root for. And so far so good with You Say Cute Coochies.
What a great night
Stros win, Mariners lose, KC loses
And for the cherry (doesn't really mean anything) Strangers lose another as well
I'll take it

64-55
6.0 games back of Wild Card bye (Yankees).
1.5 games lead in AL West (Seamen).
0.5 games back of 3rd Wild Card spot (Royals).

If Straw was still on the team he would have converted to a OF/SP and be winning the Triple Crown as both right now.iamtheglove said:
I remember when we traded for Yainer, 2015 told us the rap on him was that he didn't really love baseball or work at it, and thus why we could get such a high ceiling prospect for Straw. If accurate, it seems he has really done a 180. Kid is getting it done and having fun.
Feels so good, feelin' good again.

By comparison:
On April 13th it was 51
On May 13th it was 63
On June 13th it was 73
On July 13th it was 84

Mets lose 9-4 to As. They're in a free fall.
if the Astros take care of business vs. the White Sox (i.e. sweep)
they'll have a decent shot at catching the Guardians

Chas and Dubon are neck and neck for who sucks the most in August. It's pretty amazing, really. Just enough to keep the attention off Jake Meyers.
If Dubon and Chas are both in the lineup next year, something went horribly wrong in the offseason.
It is the God given right of every baseball fan to ***** at Blue! (MLB umps are way more consistent than college umps.)fullback44 said:Prosperdick said:

That being said, when your team is going down in flames, it ain't Blue's fault.
He works for the team.Ag_07 said:

Not what I said at all really.iamtheglove said:

He didn't like catching or want to catch full time and there were serious doubts about whether he would put in the work to be a big league catcher. He also had some attitude problems that probably had to do with age and lack of maturity. He butted heads with coaches a lot.
He also had a lot of pop but a big hole in his swing.
Needless to say someone in Houston got through to him. I'm really happy for Yainer and the sky is seemingly the limit for him.
