Former Astro going for the Dbacks. LMJ trying to increase his career high wins in a season to 13.

Why does Dusty the Dumbass insist on putting Yordan in LF, using Marwin to DH, and benching Meyers? Jake needs to learn if he wants to stay in the lineup that he needs to go 0-5 instead of driving in the tying run.

If we go extras, maybe Dusty will arrange for Maldonado to be the automatic runner on second again. LMAO

I have to agree. Marwin's only strength is his defensive versatility. Having him DH rather than having one of our good hitters get a semi day off to DH is unexplainable.

Just another example that we have an idiot for a manager.

OK Baseball Nerds What happens if Boston, Blue Jays, Yankee's all end up with the identical record and Oakland and Seattle doesn't catch them and tie also

[unionstation82]

Wtf was that AB, José?

[Saint]

Boom!

[Deleted]

Air Yordan! Great start!

[unionstation82]

That might’ve been the farthest line drive home run I’ve ever seen.

So glad you didn't trade him.

Altuve is not seeing this guy well.

There would be two games leading up to the Wild Card game ...

Scenario: Three-team tie for two Wild Card spots

If the Blue Jays, Yankees and Red Sox were all tied, with no other non-division winners in the AL ahead of them, the three teams would choose/receive A, B and C designations. Club A would host Club B. The winner of that game would be one Wild Card club, while the loser would then play Club C on the road to determine the other. The winners of the two games would face each other in the Wild Card Game.

The three designations are decided by head-to-head records. The Red Sox went 10-9 against the Blue Jays and, as of this writing, are 10-6 against the Yankees, so they would have the first pick of designation. The Blue Jays are also 10-6 against the Yanks, as of this writing, so they would pick second. The Yankees would get whichever designation is left over. The first selection comes down to a choice of playing up to two games (Club A) or taking your chances as the home team in a single elimination game (Club C).

Right.

[Saint]

Come on, Lance...

[Deleted]

Yuli oof.

[unionstation82]

What was that shit by Yuli?

[Saint]

Lane has lost his command.

[Saint]

Wow, the defense has taken a nap and then the weakest hit of the year gets thru the infield...

Maybe they shouldn’t shift for EVERY hitter.

[unionstation82]

Someone punch Lance in the nads and tell him to throw strikes. Oh, and also throw more than just sliders.

[Saint]

Total team collapse this inning. Get your shit together, Maldonado.

Maldonado not playing defense is just useless.

[ɮօʀȶǟʐ]

Wheres that Marwin fan tonight (aka olpapa)

[unionstation82]

Nice recovery, Lance.

[unionstation82]

José Altuve is now the all-time hit leader at Minute Maid Park with 850, just passing Lance Berkman.

[unionstation82]

I hate these shifts.
