Orioles @ Astros, September 19, 2023

Texas now leads Boston 5-4 still has bases loaded, Seattle leads Oakland 1-0 and has a man on second

Yep

Woof.

Texas leads Boston 6-4 now still batting bottom of 7,
Seattle leads Oakland 2-0 now, man on 3rd in the top of the 4th

And another thing: nobody in the history of mankind has sat around spontaneously making up songs about fucking insurance.

Fitting, actually. End the 8th with a double play.

A couple of hard hit balls turn into 2 outs because why wouldn’t they.

So if things hold tonight, the Astros, Mariners, and Rangers are essentially tied. The Mariners have the tiebreaker over the Astros, the Astros over the Rangers, and the Rangers over the Mariners. It then goes to winning percentage amongst the three, and Seattle would lead the division. It then goes to the two team head to head and the Astros would be in the final wild card spot.

There is another game to lose tomorrow, you know 


There are ten more to lose. But that would be the standings come morning.

Rangers beat Boston 6-4

Come on, Altuve!

Like that from Peña.

Dubon base running


Dubón’s baserunning has been horrible.

For those with the good sense to go to bed:

Runners on 1st/2nd.

Altuve with a slow chopper fielded by the 3rd baseman in the baseline.

Dubón ran into him almost as he fielded it. Quick throw to 2nd easily got Peña.

Yordan looks at 3 straight FBs that caught all kinds of plate.

Fuck that was awful.

This team is all sorts of discombobulated right now.

I’m just excited about the Houston Oilers’ chances this year.

Shit.
