  1. Framber vs Ohtani Saturday. FOX is happy
  2. White Sox at Rockies this weekend! Cant wait to hear what record they’ll break for worst combined record/winning % past the halfway mark of a season.
  3. 18 2/3 games tomorrow, starting at 11:10 central. Last game should end around midnight (Oh, and all 30 teams are scheduled to play on the 4th!)
  4. I’ve never seen Altuve take as many pitches as he has tonight
  5. As mentioned up thread, the downside is if he’s trade bait and he shits the bed, there goes any chance we have at getting a decent LH bat.
  6. Haha. I was fearing what it would look like with Pena and was pleasantly surprised at how tonight’s lineup looks. could be a whole lot worse
  7. Mindgames. get an Astros fan a front row seat behind the Astros dugout right above where Yordan is sitting and a poster with this printed on it.
  8. Hunter Brown last 15: 8-2, 1.66, 111, 25. It won’t move the needle nationally because MLB marketing sucks, but give me an ALCS with Skubal vs Detroit kid Brown facing off twice
  9. From two weeks ago… what has Brice done since? K’d 28.8% of the time, right in line with his overall minor league average of 29.3%. so yeah, get ready for more Whitcomb.
  10. Yep. Gonna be interesting to see where they try to hide him to avoid him coming up with 2 outs and runners on. We’ve been sooo good in that situation this year. he needs to room with Paredes on road trips
  11. I sheepishly admit that, up until last year, I did not realize or remember that you have to have runners on both 1st and 2nd (or bases loaded) for the infield fly rule to be invoked. I thought it was anytime there was a force out with less than 2 outs.
  12. The thought crossed my mind while at the game Friday that we could see these two teams in late October.
  13. This is an interesting way to field a AAAA lineup and play down to the Rockies
  14. Correa missed exactly 2 months, fwiw. see you on Labor Day, Jeremy
  15. Happened on a changeup no less… drink some milk, son. (Change up or not, 89 to the ribs is not fun). and have we confirmed there were no masseuses involved in the fracturing of this rib?
  16. Fuuuuccckkkkk! Off days suck. why can’t we have nice things. better now than in 2 months when “the inflammation subsides”, I guess.
  17. Wandy. Top 5 lefty starter in franchise history.
  18. I think that has to be right. honorable mention to: Pena and his 4th highest WAR in the majors. Meyers batting .306 (and .264 behind in the count. Never had a season higher than .220 before this year and that was his rookie year when he only appeared in 49 games. Other years were .164, .183, and .151) I would also say the bullpen (excluding Abreu and Hader), but as much shit as we give Dana, the man knows how to put together a bullpen of no names. on the negative side: Walker giving Abreu a run for his money And of course doing all of this with Yordan appearing in only 29 games (and never really getting going), no Bregman, no Tucker. They don’t hand out shit for what you’ve done through 81 games, but Dana has to be in the running for GM of the year to this point.
  19. Yeah that was my first thought. run differential of 0 on the homestand = 5-1 record
  20. averaging 9 pitches an AB is really impressive Altuve can go an entire series and not see that many pitches
  21. 19 fouls balls for Paredes today just set a new daikon park record seeing 37 pitches
  22. Paredes sets him up, Altuve knocks em down
  23. Parades has seen 30% of Taillon’s pitches. Lol Just walk him already.
  24. What did Jake do to get better with 2 strikes. do we actually need to credit snitker/cintron?
