Bullpen Showcase subedition
KEEP ON ROLLING ON subsubedition

Go Tribe

Alright, I puked before noon, ate nine hotdogs to calm shit down, stole a fifth from the last house I was at, and just woke up from my nap. Time for tribe.

We Klevinger now

Injuns desu

Knew that was happening, but at least they got the out

>implying mighty manlet isn't roiding

Well, at least we got an out of that.

Clev we want at least a few innings from you

Come on, bullpen, let's put them down

KKlevinghair

Time for runs

>it's a "we're behind so let's swing at everything early" episode

Work the count lads

LINDOR

Nice hit Frankcisco

Nap pls

>napolis plate music choices

Lindor has the Space Jam theme and Kriss Kross too

What the fuck are they even talking about

Hammy from yesterday btw: youtu.be/5DNou6h6uuY

More Babyface magic?

>.404 BA w/ RISP and 2 Outs
How can one kid be so clutch?

How can one voice be so based?

That's alright, good effort.

Shut them down Clev

I guess >we're not trading off Tomlin for Clevinger than. Good thing it was designated bullpen game.

Crisp magic coming up please

Who /oktoberfest/ here?

This is delayed, but Pérez has really broken out of his slump

Based Bert was saving all of his average for the late season.

I'm thinking this game is going to turn into a blow out pretty soon though. Good thing it's a 4 game series.

And by soon I mean right now apparently

1) have you not been watching this Indians team?
2) it'd be worse with Tomlin starting desu

Oh right....the bullpen is highly rated because they haven't had to pitch as much as other ones.

Our pen's done a lot of work lad, they're pretty based desu. But giving a whole game to a bullpen is asking for a bit much. Not that they haven't done it before
>that fucking twins series and after it

1) Of course user
2) No doubt

Is that supposed to a bad thing? And they're very good because they are.

For the record though I wasn't on board with the bullpen game. It almost never works out.

Even if we do lose, shit happens. The Lastros aren't a terrible team and giving the bullpen a whole game might not be amazing. Regardless, I doubt we'll be shut out

isn't manship the spaz who chimped out after a bad outing (which he always has) and punched wall and broke his hand?

Exactly my thoughts, user.

Uh no

No.

What teams other than us have no lefties in their S.R.?

Nice Garner, do it for the Land

Alright wahoos please get runs

Also Mansihp has had a rough year but he's not at all bad and had some good outings since coming back

DUBS confirmed

ABSOLUTELY BASED FRANKY

He's safe

>Implying you can tag Based Franky

...

These guys walk into the club and they smack your bases.

What can you do?

Nap slump :(

Nothing

Wasn't that a balk?

Absolutely a balk. Thank God it didn't matter

Shutdown inning pls

rip uribe

His son carries on his legacy.

Perci!

Taking a moment to remember the Big Juan

Surprised Tito hasn't convinced Antonetti to bring him back for the expanded roster

Nice job work the count fellas

I'm surprised no one else picked him up or Joba.

HUSTLE, BERT!!

He's saving his energy to hit a game-tying Dinger late in the game


cap this

...

Forgive that error from Kip, he was just setting up the double play.

Nice one Perci

...

Per-sí!

Stros bro here. I'd love to see y'all in the playoffs. Much respect to the Cleveland organization.

You guys aren't bad either--as a team or as fans. I'd much rather see you than the >rags win it for Texas

Thanks man. I think most of us were rooting for you guys last year vs the Royals.

FRANKY FUCKING STOP

Thanks bro, I had you guys for the West champs desu. Also I'd like a Nats Astros dual one day. Ain't over yet though, ya'll still in it.

POWER NAP

>Last 30 HR season by an Indian was Grady in '07
>mfw a fuccboi tells me Sizemore wasn't a top 5 OF in his prime near me

I'd love a huge run down the stretch and a rangers collapse, but I'm not holding my breath. The wild card is definitely within reach though, and the rangers are not gonna be nearly as good next year, while we're gonna be even better, barring a horrific offseason. There are gonna be a lot of HOU/CLE/BAL/BOS playoff series in the next few years.

Gattis is scary desu

As opposed to the TEX/CLE/BAL/BOS one this year?

AGH GATTIS ALMOST LAUNCHED ONE AGAIN

Yeah. But the rags won't do crap in the playoffs.

Come on Colon

Beautiful swing, Colby, my boy

I know. Even if every other team explodes, they'll end up
>one strike
-ing the WS

Kek I friggin hope so
Rags fans give us crap about the sweep in '05, but I'd rather be swept than throw it all in the drain like that

I like this 'Stros fan. The other one/s were really rude earlier in the year

Teoscar is very underrated to be honest

For real, if y'all get fucked out of a spot, we'll make sure the Rags go down

Thanks, man. I'm not on here as much as I'd like cuz of work and stuff, but there are a lot of mental cases in this area that know nothing about baseball. I'm sorry you had to see that side of our fanbase

Please do. I'll be rooting for y'all if we don't make it.

I don't know why all of a sudden people decided to bring noisemakers to the game but they're annoying as fuck.

Danny O!

Dang I'd never seen this guy before but he skinned marisnick alive

GRIP N SIPP

>Tony Sipp
Welp, there goes our lead

He was bad last year but our pitching coaches were able to get him right. Been solid for us all year.

I remember Grip n' Sipp
