October 1, 20241 yr Son of a Aggy! They showed some fight in the 9th. Maybe it is a start of some momentum. Edited October 1, 20241 yr by Bevo&Pevo
October 1, 20241 yr At least they showed some fight at the end. Would have been extremely depressing if we never threatened Edited October 1, 20241 yr by UTexasFight
October 1, 20241 yr AJ Hinch really is a beast. damn came to the team that fired em and won the opening game lol

October 1, 20241 yr Hinch continues to do the most with the least. Probably the best manager in baseball
October 1, 20241 yr Well they have used their silver bullet. Lineup ain’t shit. Hunter and Kikuchi will shut them down and we can score enough to win two.
October 1, 20241 yr Still like our chances. Just now, perfectchaos007 said: Hinch continues to do the most with the least. Probably the best manager in baseball Makes me sad to see him on the other side.

October 1, 20241 yr Breggy's ball was a foot short a few innings ago and that last ball was waffle crushed. Not our day. But they have to start a mortal tomorrow. I think we'll get it to a third game.

October 1, 20241 yr I hate losing, even in spring training. But with the way this game was going, I have to feel decent about it overall. Bats woke up and sustained a rally long enough for one swing to have produced a miracle win. Didn't happen, due to bad luck on that liner, but we finally showed a pulse. If we can't take the next two from a young team, that's just how it goes. Edited October 1, 20241 yr by Gut Wagon
October 1, 20241 yr you needed a hold the top of the 9th to have a chance in the bottom half. who you throwing and giving that responsibility to ? hader is the by the book move at this point of the season. if he blows it, you can’t second guess yourself. you put it in your best closer’s hands. roll out presley and and you wonder if hader would have held the game and so on …. if this was game 122, yeah bring in presley, ort or montero lol

The rest is just leftover space for internet warriors to bitch about managers that lose and pussy pedestal those that win.
October 1, 20241 yr Not a great feeling about this series. Yordan is dinged at the absolute worse time and Skubal almost certainly appears on Thursday.

October 1, 20241 yr Popular Post Hunter Brown gonna let his nuts hang tomorrow.Pussies find your way out to the Rangers thread.

If you start Martin Maldonado instead of yainer Diaz, or Dubon when Chas was a borderline all star then you have a lot to do with who won or lost. I would not have brought Hader in for the 9th but it made sense in this context. Espada didn’t do anything to lose us this game. 1 hour ago, billfromlaketravis said: Not a great feeling about this series.

They are playing with house money and have greatly exceeded expectations. They could steal a three game series, but they are not built for the postseason at all. There is no way that they are going to risk a Cy Young winner with two more years of team control on less than two days rest after throwing 90 pitches for a chance to be eliminated in the ALDS.
October 2, 20241 yr good for yuli, he’s had a damn great career. future hall of famer for sure (not retired number) 88 post season hits, just unreal man …
October 2, 20241 yr 2 hours ago, tx 3 putt said: yes, go be a tigers fan. start tonight My comment re: Hinch was ill-timed. This is not a moment for doubt and disunion. There will be time for reflection and over analysis (and more over analysis as is the Surly way) when the season’s ended. In the meantime, all the positive mojo we can muster must be brought to bear to get a win tomorrow. It ain’t over ‘til it’s over….and it ain’t over.
