I have lost faith in Cano and Bautista.

[Gurgi]

The Moore Crunch guy is excited to the extreme.  He looks like he having the time of his life.  It is fun to see for sure.

[TopGunnar]

A great opportunity for the young Birds tonight. Let’s see how they respond after the heartbreaker last night 

[Gurgi]

One thing I really love is the yelling OHHHH by the audience.  I listened to Gunnar giving an interview and he said the OHHHH always gives him chills.   So the players love it.

Palmer not doing the game tonight?  That’s extremely odd to pull him in the middle of a series, especially a big series like this one.

Really interesting

If Palmer ever comes out in the public against Angelos the sh.. will hit the fan.   Hopefully he is just taking a day off.  This story is not making me happy.

Lol i really have to switch to the Astros feed? This is what we've come to

Ok something is up,  Palmer is not in the booth or Geoff Arnold.  Dave Johnson who I bet works for $30 an hour is working with Melanie.

Melanie Newman and Dave Johnson... not my favorites.

Is this just pregame or are we really going to get Melanie and Dave for the game?

[SteveA]

OK, come on Jumpin Jack Flash!

Maybe Ben McDonald and Palmer are staying away in protest?  This story is really just making me feel like throwing up.  It seems to be getting worse rather than better.  

Angelos should just say sorry.  

[86this]

I think we'd rather hear the ambiance of the stadium than hear the PBP?

[Hallas]

Altuve hits a ball at his eyeballs for a single.

 

Of course a ball at his eyeballs is basically belt high for 80% of MLB.
