What a difference in "clutch" when Turner gets the night off. All these runners and all we have is ONE run besides the 3 run homer.
He is their talisman. Not a chance they only get 1 run there if he gets one of the at bats.

Gonna be one of those games where it’s close enough that it feels dumb to put in slop relievers but not close enough that burning Whitlock or Martin makes sense

Really uncharacteristic of Casas too. Just not sure what the process was there. Total bailout swing against a guy on the ropes.

I do love those field-level ads at this ballpark that (correctly!) proclaim that the phrase “Don’t mess with Texas” originated with an anti-littering campaign

Everyone thinks “Don’t mess with Texas” is a “Don’t step on snake” situation but really, it was more like, “Don’t throw your candy wrapper out the window on the highway you big jerk”

The Stros pen is fried and they have as many LOB as the Sox. Point is, they can get back into this and they dont need to do it all here.

Millar is a free-standing tower of babble.
Seems like a nice guy but he just goes on and on. Just not sure how the talent evaluators at nesn didn’t foresee this bc he’s EXACTLY what you’d expect him to be

Ump has visibly gotten worse as the game has gone on. Lazy calls as usual. Fucking terrible for the sport.

Ok here we go. Will be shocked if it’s not 9-4 by the time the top of the 8th rolls around.

Felt like we needed something that inning. Story battled a little, but nothing going.

This weekend was fun, but this team still has holes.

That inning is why you don't cheesedick at bats away when there are men on base and the pitchers are out there either missing the plate by a mile or grooving it down Broadway. They have had one great swing at the right time and a bunch of shit besides that. Eventually a good team is gonna run out a pitcher that isn't trash.
