    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

Source: The Astros are calling up pitching prospect Forrest Whitley, the #17 pick in the 2016 draftHe last pitched for the Space Cowboys on April 13th and was hitting close to 98 MPH with his fastballHe is already on the 40-man roster so a player will just need to be optioned

 

YES!!!!!!!

Andrew- I’m so happy for you Gabe 

me- Shit- did l inadvertently text you instead of my wife when I was talking about looking hot with big boobs and wanting to bang last night

Andrew- uh- no- they called Forest Whitley up 

me- that’s way better than banging my wife  we need to do an emergency podcast right now  

him- it’s 1:30 and I’m in the middle of meetings  

me- I’m on a sidewalk in front of the whitehouse- we should still do this  

I don’t think he gets the importance of today

It's bad for the setup pitcher and the closer to both have ERAs north of 9.3, right?

Only if you presuppose the setup pitcher and closer aren’t supposed to give up ~1 run per inning

lol.

i just checked and now remember attending Whitley’s AAA debut…. 5 years + 1 week ago today…

here he is giving up a triple to the incomparable Danny Santana (that’s out of frame but on which I’m sure Yordan misplayed down in the corner)

Can't see the Forrest for the trees?

Ah well, I'm sure that Brown will easily pitch around that bit of bad luck

Not sure i agree with that

The ball hit the railing. So stupid that we have the HR line going UP on the railing from the Crawford Boxes. Just make a HR the same height as the Crawford Boxes the entire outfield. Fucking remnant of the Tal’s Hill screwy aesthetic that needs to be completely flushed.

I could understand if they couldn't tell if it hit anything else and wouldn't reverse the call, but 'confirming it' is bullshit.

OK that was a crazy ricochet off Acuna on Pena's popup..

Nice kick save.  Acuna going to join Albies on the IL with a broken shin?

hit the top of the yellow rail thats it.

Ball hits top of wall on yellow and comes back into play its a double. We literally just had that happen a few games back.

So how is a ball that hits that yellow line and bounces into field not a double? Just because the yellow line is in a dumbass spot shouldn't change the ruling unless something specific in MMP ground rules.

It did not hit the back wall or railing from the angle I am at

I was trying to find a good replay to confirm what I saw but they all shut off before showing it in slo mo.

What are the two Space City dorks saying about it?

What you said.

 

Kalas after hearing the ump say : “call is confirmed. It’s a home run.”

 

”no it’s not?!”

 

 

I do want an explanation after the game

 

i also want our manager to go out and get an explanation real time, but alas

100%, I agree. IMHO it didn't hit anything else outside the field and should have been a GR 2B. Now they just clarified that the ruling merely stands and is not confirmed. Which is still incorrect, but I can at least live with the logic.

Yeah definitely didnt see that. If thats thw case then easy homer call. Chas reaction didnt make it seem like it hit it either
