Do not let this twerp beat us. 

[Guest]

So sick of this fucking clown HPU.

Automate the shit if these fuckers can't get it right( they can't...and Angel Hernandez does it repeatedly.)

[elfenix 34,000]

I think the MLB tried getting rid of him but he filed a discrimination lawsuit 

[WBT 20,132]

We're at 183 pitches and counting for the game, 97 strikes and 86 balls.

Yankeses at 136, 87 strikes and 49 balls.

[Honeysucklerose 955]

Angel Hernandez you are a twit.

Let's be mindful of the blind...

[David Dennison 17,660]

MLB has to do something about home plate umpires.

He’s bad, but look up C.B Bucknor sometime.

It's not like there isn't a viable option to correct the issue of missed balls and strikes.

Angel is Mexican and therefore can never be fired.

While you’re at it, look up their role model, Eric Gregg.

He’s Cuban so it’s even harder. 

[hornmpa96 2,516]

Angel doesn’t give a shit.

[David Dennison 17,660]

Can we maybe not put the first batter of the inning on, please.

[Lat22 3,941]

Ride or die with Abreu. 

[perfectchaos007 6,527]

Every inning is an adventure 

[elfenix 34,000]

fuck you angel

[David Dennison 17,660]

THAT IS A STRIKE!!!!!

[David Dennison 17,660]

Wow. Just wow.

[WBT 20,132]

ffs

[cabowabo 4,379]

You can't make this shit up.

[runthebone 7,874]

Fuck you, that was strike 3.

[elfenix 34,000]

astros win!

[Scraps 13,461]

Lucky ass win

Tighten this shit up

[TonyTexas 10,378]

That game was a fucking beating. Worst pitched game for a win that I can remember. 

[WBT 20,132]

hit the weights Giancarlo

Guess I'll take the split

[runthebone 7,874]

Angel Hernandez needs to punch himself in the face repeatedly with Maton's right hand.

[perfectchaos007 6,527]

Hopefully the Rangers eventually lose a game this month so we can make up some ground 

[Guest]

Fuck Angel Hernandez.  Soul sucker of the game of baseball.

 

Go Astros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m trying to stream on the sports net app and it’s saying not authorized at my location. I’m fucking in the viewing network less than a mile from my house. Anyone else have these issues recently?

Yep.  It’s been that way for me since last season iirc.  Haven’t even tried recently.

[tx 3 putt 74,771]

Bregman 

Pena 

Abreu 

 

those are the three people holding this team back. They have 48 games to wake up. We are trailing the rangers because of those 3 slap dicks 

they’re 90% of our offensive issues

The pitching always sucks when we decide to score runs then the bats go silent for the next 5 games as the pitching is excellent.

12-11 Rangers was #1

Rangers win 6-0, today was a must win - can't fall another game back.  Texas is hot , especially with a motivated Scherzer, have to go on relentless 7-3, 8-2 10 game runs to overtake them. Anything less and it's a wildcard which is a soup of grenades.

When we win the division and get that first round bye, entire BP needs to go on a retreat. Find their mojo 

[Mo Horn 8,680]

Was in and out all day. Watched some, followed online some. Happy to get the split.

[Wulaw Horn 18,917]

We went 5-2 and lost a game and 1/2 this week.  
good times.

Maton can go on his own more focused vision quest.

And montero too, hell all of them. Playoffs are serious business 

make bregman, pena, Abreu go with them. Julks too, he’s going to used a pinch runner

We shouldn't have played so much grabass when they went 25-26 in June and July

Yep. 
Or we could play our best 9 more or less every day. We are 1-0 this year when we do that. 6-0 in the last 6 Diaz starts. 2-5 in the last 7 maldonado starts. But Bregman with the 3rd highest WAR on the team is the real culprit. 🤔

They are currently going through a rash of injuries  Degrom, Eovoldi, Heim, Jung broke his thumb today. They’ve been very good but these injuries and their lack of  experience will eventually catch up to them.

I generally stay out of y'all's thread, but I think we can find some common ground in the fact that Angel Hernandez and CB Bucknor are the fucking worst.
