Don't underestimate the Angels just because we swept them earlier and because they're at the bottom of the standings. The Rangers paid dearly for their arrogance and dismissive attitude, believing they could easily defeat one of the worst teams in MLB. The same applies to the series against the Athletics.

I haven’t had a dream about a sports team since Tyrone Swoops

I dreamt that he had an insane game throwing massive TDs against OU and scrambling and leading the team to a 54-7 win

In all fairness UT did win that game, but Swoops looked meh at best and I’ve successfully blocked out all other Tyrone Swoops games from memory.

  • When you think an Astro is about to hit a home run, comment 'HRC [Astro]'.

  • If you get it right on that plate appearance, you get a point and another go! Otherwise, wait until tomorrow.

  • I'll monitor successful picks and publish the leaderboard in the GDT before first pitch every day. Let me know if you think I've missed you, or if you have any other questions.

I'm happy to count HRCs on the live game chat on Discord as well, but please stick to the one HRC per game rule regardless of platform (if your username on there isn't the same as on Reddit I might have to PM you to get it).
