    Davis will lose 10-15 hr this season just from not facing Texas 20 times. 

  • Hmmmm, it's a damn shame when a phrase takes on new meaning to the point that using it sincerely causes confusion.

  • HaHaHaHa....

I can't get mad at dietrich for trying to take 2nd in that situation.

 

 

Just turned this on.

Waiting for Altuve to hit a walk off homer.

And yeah that was a badass play.

Edited by ztejas

Can someone explain what just happened to me? I guess I kind of understand what a balk is but I thought it just advanced the batter to 1st.

Also why would you not swing at the 2-0 Trevino... there's one out and we have the lead and you have a runner on first.

Any runner on advances a base. 

That's what I figured. Didn't know you could score on it. I mean, it obviously doesn't happen very often. 

They've now balked and committed two errors on 3 batters.

Love it.

Do we need to explain errors and unearned runs to you too?

F those cheatin’ asterisk asstros. Hopefully that loss will screw them somehow. Will be awesome if they end up losing the West by a game.

Just let me know when the batter advanced to first.

I didn't understand something so I asked a question for clarification. 

You then tried to correct me for calling something an error because you didn't think they scored it an error. They did. 

You can just admit you were wrong and move on.

 

Wut? I was making a sarcastic post. You missed it, but please tell me more about how I was wrong?

There are 7(?) ways for a batter to reach first base. Balk is not one of them.

You already showed your ass. You can stop now. I don't feel bad for asking a question about balks. If you need to ask a question about errors I won't judge you.

Thanks. I get it now. 

I’ll spell it out for you. You asked about balks. I made a sarcastic post that you didn’t catch. Nowhere was I asking anything about errors. I was asking if that needed to be explained to you as well.

I count 8 Are you counting Fielder and Catcher interference as the same?

Fielder/Catcher interference is technically just called defensive interference

I read Fud as sarcastic, I read ztejas as not knowing much about baseball. 

Now if you had asked what constitutes a balk, that might have been a good question. There are some obvious, some not so obvious and some downright judgmental things that can lead to a balk being called.  But not knowing the ramifications of a balk as it pertains to baserunners deserved the sarcastic scorn it received.

Hes trying to back out of not thinking an error was an error, unless he quoted the wrong post of mine on accident. But whatever.

I can’t let this go. You’re serious here? You didn’t know the ruling on the balks and runners/batters moving when a balk happens. It was explained to you. Then you posted about 3 errors or whatever it was so I jumped in asking if you needed explanation on errors and unearned runs too. I wasn’t questioning anything about the actual game or rulings. It was a five head level troll that rushed over your head.

Good day sir!

Fair enough.

We've distracted from a hilarious Astros meltdown that needs to be remembered for a long time.

Choo 3-hole(?!), Tejeda gets to play 2B.

Okay - who can explain Choo in the three spot? He's done it once since 2015.

Allard had legit no-hit stuff all the way up until the third batter.

Elvis leaves 2 stranded after popping up.
