MLB 2022 Season: Houston Warship: Go Phuck Yourselves

[Ar-Pharazon]

I'm sure Smoltz isn't the only one who says all of those, especially the last one.

Most of the less talented announcers are reading from a card. They're like the overseas call centers of sports announcing. "did you power cycle your router?"

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Agreed...but I don't think Smoltz is one of those.

 

[Timby]

No, Smoltz is just an anti-vax moron who loves to whine about advanced statistics and the way things used to be.

Cubs pitcher Matt Swarmer tied an MLB record by giving up six homers.

And that was only the 8-0 loss. Followed up by an 18-4 loss. We're definitely going the wrong way.

 

[Starbreaker]

Ozzie Albies broke his foot. We're gonna need a roster move!

 

[cardinal biggles]

God bless the Cubs, they're the only thing keeping the Pirates in third place right now.

You're welcome?

Damn, I heard it was a fracture but didn't it was that bad. That's a tough blow.

 

[Aragorn]

Does anyone watch MLB games when they're on YouTube? Why is there a commercial break countdown but they don't ever go to commercial break? Are these games televised elsewhere?

Probably picking up the feed from local broadcasters.

Similar to when it's a nationally aired game. In that case, there's some commercials (usually ads for other, say FOX shows) and then dead air for the local commercials to fit into.


Also, the Cubs got their asses handed to them for the 4th game out of the last 5. 19-5 this time. The pitching staff really forgot how to baseball lately.

Doesn't help that everyone is hurt. And Cool Kyle is coming back from an evidently dead arm, which is pretty difficult when you're a guy whose fastball tops off at 91 and you rely upon soft contact.

Hendricks is about the only one who didn't get steamrolled in that string of games. But he's been hit or miss for a couple years now. 1 good game, then one really bad game, rinse and repeat.

Since baseball is all about stats, in his first 403 games, Vladimir Guerrero Sr. had 87 home runs and a .363 OBP. In his first 403 games, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had 87 home runs and a .363 OBP.

 

[Aragorn]

Anthony Rendon to have season-ending wrist surgery. He's been a giant bust.

 

[Kronos]

Angels have a habit of giving guys tons of cash and they instantly go into the tank.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

They sure beat the hell out of the Mariners pretty much the whole time I was here…

 

[1001001]

Ohtani has 8 RBI's...and we still lose.



When does football season start?

 

[cardinal biggles]

^That's probably the same question Cubs fans are asking, especially after the last two games against Pittsburgh. Poor Caleb Kilian got sent back down to AAA after only three disastrous starts during which he accumulated a 10.32 ERA.
