Chicago Cubs at Houston Astros

You were expecting an Asstro fan to fill in for you...

Actually I had a thread ready 90 minutes ago, but didn't post it because of all the dive grass spam and people whining when threads are made that early. Hence why the gamenotes were all ready.
I got caught up on other stuff and the game started before I could get back.
I would have posted what I got, but the Lastro already made a thread.

>Line ups don't even include the starting pitchers
I guess it's better than nothing. Maybe Texas is just used to everything being cowshit.

Let's just hope we can break this hot mess streak we're in. Not too likely until someone mucks out the pen.

If the Astros can get good contact on Hendricks we're in for a world of hurt because how the Cubs have been doing so far.

If the Cubs are going to be hitting 3+ homes runs again, they better have men on, all thsee solo shots aren't really helping.

Bullpen is just Russian Roulette, Pick someone and hope they aren't the bullet to the head that blows the game.

>another solo homer
DEFINITELY that classic Wade Miley start. Oh well he should be settled in about now.

BRYANT WITH A SOLO SHOT HOME RUN!
2-0

Welcome back Kris. Can we please have men on when we get homers?

jesus christ almora, that’s russell’s job

Almora ded

what happened?

Almora crushed a foul ball and the Asstros dumbass park didn’t have a screen to block it from smacking a kid square in the face

daily reminder if you get beaned in the head by a foul ball you'll will have to pay out of pocket as mlb is not responsible for your well being

Almora was down 0-2 so he ran out to the crowd and hit a baby with his bat.. it was brutal!

I don't believe it at all. He was probably banging the massage chick and then his fiance/wife (can't remember which one) stabbed him in the chest or something.

offspeed inside should be illegal

The Minute Maid meme double strikes again

Is the kid dead

If not probably a good candidate for toddler concussion studies

If that was at Wrigley, the kid would have used his lightening fast reflexes he learned form dodging bullets to dodge balls
Texas kids are just built weak that they not only can't dodge line drives to the head, but they go down like a sack of potatoes afterwards.

Is he the best outfielder right now? I haven't really looked around the league, but these are kind of ridiculous.

Is almora crying

yeah :(

Poor kid ;_;

Fuck, I wish I didn't miss that kid getting drilled.

>None of the broadcasts show the kid getting knocked.
>The one time Twitter could be useful, they don't deliver.
Fucking useless, all of them.

Any webms of the kid being hit by the foul ball?

I've been trying to find a video for the past fifteen minutes. Sucks I missed it.

>RIP

Yeah I tuned in for the aftermath and missed it. This is what I get for waiting to write my paper at the last minute :(.

Are you at the game? We got a moment of silence, horrified looks from players and then some ads.

Sounds like the kid survived according to twitter not a head shot

WHITE POWER

Another Minute Maid meme double.

You got it or what?

Ratings for baseball would go up if more kids got drilled in the head

>bringing your kid to a baseball game
big mistake

Everyone and their mothers has phones that can take video now.
Surely one of those narcissistic fucks got it on video or at least what the kid looked like.
Texans are all useless.

Great at bat there Fisher. Really made the pitcher work hard for that out.

the kid is ok don't worry MLB will not pay too bad!

>that 4th pitch strike
astro's check must have cleared

Came here for the footage of the kid getting rekt.

Yea Forums isn’t what it once was

kid fucking died. check twitter

wtf we need more of this in baseball. Manfred do your job.

Why the hell should MLB pay? What kind of moron sits that close to foul territory with a kid, when the ball could go flying out at 100+ MPH? If anyone that kid's parents should be arrested for child abuse.

excuse me this is 4channel can we focus on the game and not the violence please guys take that naughty stuff to Yea Forums

Tits or gtfo

>All these on messages on twitter about 'now is the time for thoughts and prayers'
Fuck off, all those thoughts and prayers didn't do shit for all the schoolkids who get murdered by gunmen. Thoughts and Prayers have and always will be a worthless phrase.
This is the parents fault for bringing a kid to the lower deck where there's no netting.
Call the shitty parents out for the fact their kid has a cracked skull.

Also double fuck off to the press that is plastering pictures of Almora crying and not showing the kid.

To be fair, MLB and the stadiums all have warnings to be alert and they aren't held liable if you get clocked.

Shows over people, kid unfortunately survived.

>can we focus on the game and not the violence
STFU faggots like you have ruined sports, including baseball

Murder is still murder

>yfw your ticket is a waiver

but MLB will help even though they arent legally bound, unless they want bad press

>all those thoughts and prayers didn't do shit for all the schoolkids who get murdered by gunmen

Right, because that's what it was intended for, "to do shit". I love seeing the people that say this though, as it exposes them as literal sheep.

Blame Hiroyuki

Thoughts and prayers don't stop bullets or gunmen.
Common sense gun laws might, but hey, we got to make sure those kids at Santa Fe High died in vain and not do anything other than thoughts and prayers

i've been to 3 mlb games in person. 90% of it was talking shit and not even paying attention to the game. if a foul ball hit me i'd sue just so you know

What race is she though?

>Texas
>Baseball game
Take a guess /pol/.

There's no correlation between gun laws and homicide rates. Go move to the paradise known as San Francisco.

If this was Wrigley, they would have been alert

I mean she's most likely either white or a spic. It's pretty 50/50.

Good to see addy stepping up his violence game. First it’s wammen, now kids. Next week he’s gonna put a puppy on a tee during batting practice.

wrigley is shit imagine being named after gum

Homicide rates in the old west were lower than they are today.

>common sense gun laws
fuck you nigger come try and take it and see what happens. Goddamn fanouk

Cringe and C*ckpilled

>Hendicks is through 6 innings on 70 pitches
Got into a few jams with lead off doubles. Defense managed to get him out of one. we'll see what happens. Guess we can only get solo home runs in this warehouse stadium.

Amazingly she will probably have little to no memory of this. I went into a tree sledding when I was 4. Knocked the fuck out. Lost teeth. Stitches. I have one vague memory of iodine in paper cups at the hospital and worrying about it stinging. Didn't care the slightest about my front tooth that was flipped upside down or the bit of exposed jaw bone next to it.

holy shit hayward got a single

HEYward

sorry ass cusb trying to kill kids what a shit organization

wow imagine being named after a company that stole over $60,000,000,000

>God bless America
When can organized religion be banned? If anything it would bring peace to the world (More people have been killed in the name of god than any other reason) and best of all, we wouldn't have to listen to fucking awful song and Houston could sing a real baseball song like Take me out to the Ballgame.

I literally don’t give a shit about anything you have to say on the matter. fuck you and die.

so that's why you're a brainlet

Turns out the NRA was just a front for converting donor cash into clothing and vacations for some fag.

The USSR and China slaughtered millions in the name of atheism. Great job being a brainlet.

>Amazingly she will probably have little to no memory of this
I have a good feeling she's gonna have little to no memory in general after this

Yeah sure thing bud. Explain this. Any idiot can plot gun ownership rates vs homicide rates and see that there is no correlation.

The USSR and communist China were both explicitly atheist states that purposely sought to eradicate religion. Go educate yourself retard.

is houston a baseball town or basketball town or football town? they seem to be average at everything

A walk is fine too

Houston is a terrible sports town. Football is probably more popular here, but people are slowly waking up to the fact that Texans are garbage.

Cringe

nobody fucking cares you unamerican piece of shit. fuck you and die

>accidental death and suicides by firearms
Literally don't give a fuck. Of course it's harder to kill yourself with a gun if you make it harder to get one. That's not relevant to the question of whether or not the homicide rate as a whole increases with more guns (they don't).

What the hell was that Bote?

he's not wrong

fuck your data and fuck you. Piece of shit.

Time for grand slam by Willy

> Ayres and Donohue (33–35) used Lott and Mustard's data and found, after recoding the data and varying model specifications, that shall issue laws were not associated with reductions in homicide rates. Particularly, they demonstrated that using county data introduced severe bias and that results were not robust to model specifications (such as including more year data or weighting strategies). Wellford et al. (36) from the National Research Council reached similar conclusions. In addition, Grambsch (37) found that controlling for regression to the mean diluted the association between shall issue laws and homicides. Using additional data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Rosengart et al. (38) and Hepburn et al. (39) showed no association between these laws and overall and firearm homicides. Studies comparing cities with a population of 100,000 or more (40) and others using samples of large cities in the United States (41, 42) found similar findings.

It doesn't support everything your support. There are some things your side claims that are correct (i.e. suicide increases with more firearms), but I'm not against people an heroing. Firearm-related laws have never been consistently shown to be effective at reducing overall homicide rates.

Now read the paragraph afterwards and look up figure 2.
All you've done It shows that you need to cherry pick to fit your narrative and laws that loosen restrictions on ownership and usage increases them.

Now get back to watching the Astros lose.

THEN WHY THE FUCK DO THEY KEEP MOVING HERE

>Hendrick keeps the 1 run lead
>No way he's getting the 9th since he's at 108 pitches.
Maybe we can get another solo home run for insurance?

You don't understand statistics. The other two have too small of a sample size to even make any firm conclusion. What does have a good nice sample is the shall issue part which basically hovers around no correlation or perhaps leaning towards a slight decrease. You would need to run the statistics to be completely sure, but clearly it does not support your position. The Columbian ban had to do with bans on holidays which makes it even harder to draw any conclusion.

>legally defending yourself is murder
Retard, that's not what the word means.
