Eltoasto: Aug 26, 2002; We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.

lol bringing in the 5th infielder just ended up confusing them and allowing an easy grounder to go through for the win.

elentar: Aug 26, 2002; Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.

The Marlins really are tremendously stupid

BS stat department: Jim Johnson now has 5 of the Braves' 31 wins, only Teheran has more.

elentar fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Jun 18, 2017

I guess the umps in the Twins game had a flight to catch

I've seen a lot of Astros doomsaying coming from you this week too, despite having an 11-game lead in the division.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

It's almost like I saw my team blow a 9 game division lead in August a mere two seasons ago

Intruder, I don't want to trade Derek Fisher.

I'm tired of watching Aoki fail.

# ? Jun 18, 2017 23:04

Big Mean Jerk: Jan 27, 2009; Well, of course I know him.
He's me.

I watched the Astros be middling-to-awful (with maybe 5 exceptions) my entire lifetime but the doomsaying cubsposting is a little much.

I like Fisher too but the rotation needs attention and Kyle Tucker might be good enough to be in the bigs by 2019

Lol the Giants

It's almost as if never using your closer makes him not as reliable

Ammat The Ankh: Sep 7, 2010; Now, attempt to defeat me!
And I shall become a living legend!

I think the Giants wasted 62 million dollars.

Also of course Arenado hits for the loving cycle by crushing a walk-of homers vs. the Giants

He's hurt, too.

Andrew Baggarly posted:

Even if he had more leads to protect, Melancon can only do so much. It is a loosely guarded secret that the pronator strain in his forearm is a lingering issue. The only reason it has remained hidden is because the Giants haven't required him to pitch often - he is on pace to appear in just 41 games this season - or take the ball on back-to-back days.

[...]

Melancon's performance, his health concerns and his contract all keep him from being a tradeable asset. Regardless, the Giants would not be looking to deal him. Even if they sell off a few parts at the July 31 deadline, they are not wired for a rebuild. Realistic or not, they anticipate returning to contention next season � and having a solid closer in Melancon will be a part of their plan.

Melancon can opt out of his contract after 2018, though, and leave a pair of $14 million salaries on the table.

For now, he and the Giants are joined together.

I think Musgrove may be the odd man out instead of Fiers once guys start coming off the DL

I'm actually very concerned that the Astros only got 2 on an awful looking David Price.

"Congrats on your win Astros"

Bullshit. This is why you take advantage when you can.

Congrats on your win Red Sox.

That is why. Multi homer game for a guy who had 2 total to begin the game.

Kirios: Jan 26, 2010

Oh, I knew the writing on the wall. The Astros controlled the first five innings and didn't capitalize when they could.

It's going to cost them this game.

Xander has been an RBI machine all year he just hasn't been hovering

He's good unlike David price

Yep. Not going to do poo poo against their bullpen. 3rd straight series loss, all at home.

Yeah, it's immensely frustrating. This team is regressing hard.
