2021 Houston Astros Thread

[Gourmand 7774]

The Astros announced their starting pitching situation for Tues will be a tandem start. Odorizzi and then LMJ.

I like it.

6 man rotation after that, at least through the upcoming  20 consecutive game stretch.

well done by Bregman to launch that airborne into LF for the RBI

Am I going crazy or is Straw starting to grow on me?

.304/.389/.391 over last 15 games 

[Rimbo 26033]

you know who's growing on me? framber

I mean I liked him from the get go, but now he seems to have more good innings than Nuke Laloosh innings. And with a paucity of pitches.

[Gourmand 7774]

score some runs please

[elfenix 34331]

Tucker getting pretty good

He still seems like a lability as a base runner and fielder, but according to metrics he is getting better on defense. My eyes just can't believe it. 

[tx 3 putt 77275]

even stubbs got a hit

Joe Perez just hit a home run for Asheville. If he keeps this up he'll be a top 10 prospect by the end of the season. 

[Gourmand 7774]

We have to win this game today because the odds are very much in favor of Oakland beating KC again with Bassitt going for the A's. The A's easy fucking schedule and their propensity to win every one run game contrasted with the Astros 9-12 record against <.500 teams (and that 2/3rds of our games have been against winning teams) is really starting to piss me off. 

[Gourmand 7774]

Is it me or did Blum leave the studio to take a piss or something? Eschenfelder is not made for pbp.

Yep he's been a very pleasant surprise, along with Norel Gonzalez in CC.

U of H kid : 

Corey Julks jump-started the scoring Saturday for the Hooks (Astros’ Double-A).

In May (15 games), Julks batted .309 alongside 11 runs and five RBIs.

I rest my case on Straw base running 

[Guest]

Dumb question amnesty:

Why was Straw not out for being tagged after  returning to an occupied base?

Hell even the players didn't know the call.

[Scraps 13570]

Just automatically start putting Brantley on 2nd when he comes up

[elfenix 34331]

[runthebone 8027]

Not watching on TV.  Why did Altuve swing 3-0?

[Scraps 13570]
