I’m sure the 97 mph fastball square into the shoulder blade caused some discomfort.

That pitch looked like it should have been crushed by Yordan and it was a weak pop up to the right side of the infield. 

I’ve had enough of Reddick.  He’s been bad for two years now.  And I’m tired of hearing jabronis yell “wooooo”.

Get used to it. He's our right fielder for 2020.

Martha Focker. Was hoping it was just a gut-bomb.

Good job by Chuckles to step up and throw 3 innings

OK, I'll bite.

Why?

It’s ridiculous to think that strength and conditioning can avoid every muscle injury.  It’s also illogical to suggest that one of the most analytical and scientific front offices in the game has strength and conditioning as a blind spot.

It's not ridiculous when there have been so many of the same muscle injuries on one team in one season. In fact, I think it's a pretty good time to ask what the fuck?

We’re burning our pen while getting punked by Cy Nova. Probably lose again tomorrow.

Fortunately, we can use our best relievers tomorrow if we need to.

Three hitter so far.  Not even at 90 pitches either..... All he has to do is get through the 9th for the CG beat down. I guess we can hope Remteria goes to the pen but I'd be shocked.

Cole is on a completely different training program with completely different movements than the other players who have had hammy issues.   His “discomfort” is not a data point in a trend   

Maybe, just maybe, this team has world class athletes that push their bodies to their physical limits on a near daily basis, and sometimes they push a little too hard.  Or sometimes they slip in the shower like every other human being on the planet.

Devo and Biagini are the only ones burned.   Pen is fine.  All things considered, AJ has played today great and the bullpen has done its job.

That .314 in 2017 is such an outlier for a .263 career guy, and he doesn't have much power.  He can grind out a few more years in the majors, but he needs a change of scenery.

Hard to complain about 6 runs given up across 2 games. If we don't sweep those games then either props to their pitching or shame on our offense.

Unless something dramatically changes... what a forgettable day. Even the win felt sloppy.

What a pathetic showing. Game finished in 2 1/2 hours thanks to our offense who decided not to show up.

Shut up, nerd.

We definitely tossed in the towel once Cole was scratched. That’s bullshit mentality right there. Trickled from the manager on down.

I got the sense they throttled down mentally once the rainout happened and they were looking at three games in 24 hrs.

You can’t throttle down against a shit team you should sweep. Games like this is why the Yankees will have the best record in the AL when it’s done. Oh and Baltimore on Sunday.

 

That’s 2 games pissed away. Against very very bad teams.

Yes,  osuna is to blame for the shit effort tonight

Not a lot you can do with a last minute scratch before the 2nd game of doubleheader.  McHugh was already burned and there's no James or Peacock right now.  Some of you should offer to lend your magic wand to Hinch.

It was mostly tongue in cheek, but I’m just saying that the vibe around the team is way different than it was 72 hours ago. Rainouts, injuries, sloppy play... just seems like our swagger got temporarily deflated with that walk-off bomb.

 

Most of it’s just bad luck, the sky’s not falling and we’ll be fine by playoffs, just an observation.

First game really wasn’t that bad.  It was a pretty common formula for this team. Nurse a lead or keep it close until you get to the pen, then add on in later innings.  It was textbook.  

Once Cole was scratched, Game 2 became a toss-up. I mentioned at the beginning of the game that Nova was on a heater and would be tough.  Even with that, the game was a Devo error away from heading down the same path as game 1.  Plus they had to rest big bats with the crazy three game stretch and Bregman’s soreness.  

Again, nothing to get too upset about.  

Peacock coming back?

No way. Twitter speculating Sneed. All the other candidates have pitched several innings the last few days.

So in a way, it really is Giles's fault.

 

sneed probably coming back 

and fuck Whitley for not having his shit together this season 

Yo checking interest on this.  It would be a Wednesday night shitshow:

agswin does charity stuff for a group called Sunflower Mission   https://www.sunflowermission.org/   They help kids in Vietnam.  He got a suite donated for Wednesday Sept 18th game to raffle off and he is doing this for $500 a ticket.  20 entries.  Here is the write up he posted:

"For $500, you will have a 1 in 20 chance of winning an entire suite at #MMP to entertain 12 of your friends. You will also receive 2 parking passes. Food and drinks will be provided. It's a $4000 value.
.
The game will be on Wednesday, September 18, 2019, against the @rangers."

 

It is a 7:10 game and they are giving away Brantley Bobbleheads that night to all fans.  I was wondering if there were any people here interested in getting a raffle ticket and maybe making it a Surly suite if we get lucky and win.  Regardless your $ will at least be going to a cause.  It would be $42 a seat, and each of you could get multiple as long as you send me $42 X however many seats you want.  I would donate the $504 to him for the raffle ticket.  

As of last night he had 3 raffle spots left.  

 

So anyway if you are interested let me know the # of slots out of the 12 you would want.  First 11, since I am 1, will be in and then I can get you my paypal/venmo to send me the $ and I can contact him for a ticket.  

Sweet only 10 to go lol.  Also looks like some guy is trying to hold a spot and pay him tomorrow so there may only be 2 raffle tickets left

hell I might as well get 2 also then.  

Down to 8

All my money is going to trucker hats

Overall the pitching staff did a good job last night given the circumstances.  Two dribblers that beat the shift and Devo’s error led to three of the four runs.  Not like the White Sox we’re crushing the ball all over the place.

I'm in for a raffle ticket

Astros are not a fastball hitting team 

Nova was awesome last night.  His fastball had great late movement.  Heard Sparky mention it in the early innings on the way home.  Sometimes you tip your cap to the other guy - he's actually a professional getting paid to play just like our guys.  

he's also notoriously streaky and has been really tough lately.  i've been streaming him in fantasy, but took last night off.  because i am oh so wise.
