2021 Houston Astros Thread

[Hornsbay22 463]

I take all the compliments about the bullpen back.  Fuck them and bring up anyone else.

[Honeysucklerose 959]

We have a lot to fix before the playoffs and we currently have the second best record in baseball. It's insane.

[Scraps 13542]

Guys calm down Joe Smith is close to returning

[cabowabo 4453]

Lol. I can't watch this shit anymore.

[WBT 20422]

Stanek sucks.  Has Straw ever caught a ball he jumped for?

When you only need 6-9 outs in a game this bullpen can produce, when you stretch it to more forget about it. This bullpen is the only thing keep the Astros from reaching their ceiling.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Yep, we're in a slump

[David Dennison 18661]

Our bullpen looks like Spinal Tap.

It looks like Spinal Tap, but it pitches like shit.

[Chuckie Finster 22600]

Having to pitch a position player against the Orioles has to be one of the low points of the last half decade.

[Scraps 13542]

Sorry....over the Crawford boxes

Run ruled by the O's.

 

[Honeysucklerose 959]

These dudes dont care. They still get paid. Start cutting money for embarrassing losses like this, and they may give more effort

At least the A's lost tonight.

[Gourmand 7774]

It was just a few days ago that we were all slapping each other on the back and congratulating ourselves on our big beautiful swingin dicks and now we just rolled out a position player to close out our NFC East box score. Baseball is a humbling game to watch.

[TonyTexas 10482]

Enoli picking up right where he left off in last night’s rehab. 
 0.0 innings, 1 hit, 1 earned run, 2 walks.

Needs to just stay down there the rest of the year

Yep I had a very bad feeling about that because it felt like Mother Nature was the only thing that could stop that batting train and she did.

Ooo Reeee Ooooles .. Reeee O’s!

[kevwun 15653]

Pedro Leon got picked for the Futures game.  He's still not hitting very well in Corpus though and is striking out a ton.  He has a cool 39.5 K% for the season.

A tale of two months though. Check his splits:

May: .173/.271/.293 20 G 75 AB 7 BB 33 K

June: .290/.410/.507 21 G 69 AB 12 BB 24 K

[kevwun 15653]

I thought his numbers looked better than when we went to a Hooks game at the end of May, so that is encouraging.  That K rate is still not good.

[runthebone 7932]

You can dwell on the 40% K rate, but I choose to enjoy the 60% of the time he doesn't strike out!
