  1. Maybe not by the time this game is over!
  2. Astros have best run differential in division.
  3. That should be a hit. Catching that ball was not an ordinary effort play. Outstanding to glove it and then everything went to shit (for the O’s). I think he thought he could get a double play. Tag and then throw to first. When he missed his brain just locked up.
  4. Ha. Some amazeball plays this inning.
  5. Look man, we’ve got 9 more outs to get with the soft underbelly of the bullpen all that’s available. I don’t love our chances here still.
  6. Jake! maybe a 5th Of. That one doesn’t count though. Reasons.
  7. O’s 3 hits that inning were 88, 89 and 92. Not quite as bad as I thought but combined with shitty launch angle on 2 of them you’d not expect that to be a rally.
  8. Another fucking should have been a double play ball. This game is so fucked.
  9. Fucking more soft contact bullshit.
  10. So far. His babip is ridiculously unsustainable. I like him ok but he’s got to get his K% below 30 if he’s going to stick.
  11. Loperfiso strikes out so much not because of his swing and miss but because he watches a metric shit ton of pitches right down the middle.
  12. He got squeezed and 3 of his 6 hits were dinks. Way better than his line and now I assume his career is over the way things have been trending.
  13. Jake! I’ve been told he’s maybe good enough to be a 5th OF. We shouldn’t count his hostels only his cold ones. And the glove work doesn’t count. But the arm does. Totally makes sense. Kids pitched really well to have thrown 70 pitches in 3 innings and given up two runs. OT’s of trash contact gone against him.
  14. Personally believe he’s been hurt all year. Hamstrings hang around forever and dog you. It might be that he’s too fat though. Too much banana pudding.
  15. He’s walking on a treadmill. Maybe running. Maybe a light jog. But definitely a treadmill. Hope for on field activities this weekend.
  16. And Whitley. But he’s on a rehab assignment. Which is funny to me because he’s in AAA so who gives a fuck if he comes back and gets rocked in AAA or A ball.
  17. I've got a 3 team division winner parley- Astros, Royals, Orioles- $10 to win $669. I've got an Astros win the World Series and Longhorns win the National Championship in football bet for $20.00 to win $5,040.00. I fully expect to be cashing both tickets.
  18. Sure. Or have some really funky pitch tunneling where they just absolutely can't differentiate between fastball and breaking pitch b/c it comes down the same chute. It was interesting to hear him talk about it. He's read and studied a lot of analytics and didn't watch bull durham where Costner explained strike outs are fascist. No pitch to contact for him. "Bad things happen with contact" or something like that.
  19. He actually says his goal is to strike out every hitter- so that could be some measure of why he appears to have command problems at times. He's trying to spin the ball a ton and he's trying to keep it out of the strike zone and get swing and misses. Very LMJ like in that approach- he did similar.
  20. his stuff is fine- he's striking out 10 per 9 and gets swing and misses. His command is a problem most days. He's always been a slow starter at each new level he's played at and he's been better recently than he was before. I think he can be a MOR guy if he maximizes.
  21. 167 feet travelled with a 59 degree launch angle. Sure it was thrilling.
  22. That would definitely be the idea. If the Astros sell it makes too much sense not to see that happen. Matches up perfectly.
