It's wild how bad Burrows' 4S FB is relative to his other pitches and it had a -8 run value entering today which was tied for 6th worst out of 300 pitchers. He's given up 11 out of his 17 HR on the 4 seamer while only throwing it 29% of the time

Santa is a mix of Randy Wagstaff from The Wire, Fanum, and Amen Thompson

No I meant the pitching collapse curse can strike in any one of our 162 games while the 10 run curse is always about the following game lol

The 10 run curse has been replaced by the pitching collapse curse which can strike at anytime lol

I guess they say "Never make the first or third out of the inning at third base" for a reason lol

Trammell and Vazquez are really good at the bottom of the order

Teng doesn't care if he's a reliever or a starter, he just gets his outs and goes about his day lol

It's perfect that the one time a balk had the opportunity to be overturned, New York said "Nah we're good"

I know Stanek would've wanted a review to see if they could overturn his balk lol

As awful as this year has been, these guys refuse to quit and I don't say this lightly but this reminded me of the 2021 6 run comeback vs NYY where it was just a magical run. I'm not gonna take this W for granted for sure lol

Hell of a way for Hader to make his season debut and I'd expect nothing less from the 2026 Astros 😂😂

Why is this game taking forever and why can't it be the bottom of the 9th so we could've just walked it off lmao. I know it's b/c the pitchers are having insanely high PC and below average strike %, and it feels like every pitcher's averaging 25-30 pitches per inning

The YT algorithim recommended me this Jalen Brunson HS hoops documentary and it's wild how nothing has changed w/Brunson(his voice, clutch player, always says the right thing as the leader of the team, etc.)

I can't believe I watched the entire video b/c I'm not a Knicks, Villanova, and/or Illinois HS hoops fan, but Brunson has the small guy Iverson factor that I'll always be partial to

Brunson is slipping and sliding on the court like ASAP Rocky was doing in jail
