He still not 100%

So, I bitch at Dusty a lot but he managed this one perfectly down the stretch. Has nothing to do with win or loss or results. pR at the right time. PH at the right time. Used his relievers in the correct sequence.

At least one person disagrees…

He’s not even going to make the playoffs roster. He’s like our 12th best pitcher. He can shut the fuck up. 

[Scraps 13812]

Yeah its because no one wants to see you get shelled the 3rd time through the lineup dickwad....regardless if you had 100 pitches or 66.

Lol. Fuck him. 

[Gourmand 7778]

He's pissed because he has incentives in his contract and he probably feels like the organization is intentionally depriving him of the opportunity to hit those numbers. 

"I think it's pretty frickin obvious. I mean, go take a look at it."

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Sounds like he would be an asset in the pen if he could do it without bitching.

[Gourmand 7778]

I'm not defending what he said or the wisdom of saying all that publicly before airing out his grievances with Dusty, Strom, and Click, but he has a point when he said "I'm glad we won because I would've been blamed for only going five innings."

He's pissed at the organization--which is obviously not ideal--but in his frustration he's taking a shot at the fans as well. This is a very bad development. 

[ballrific 220]

I couldn't find his 2021 contract incentives, only for 2022, so I'd be curious what the details are.

[Gourmand 7778]

Hard to find any fault for Dusty pulling him in the 6th inning. 

Opponent OPS vs Odorizzi by times facing opponent in game:

First PA .609

Second PA .717

Third PA 1.365

It’s ludicrous to even imply that Odorizzi’s usage is tied to contract incentives. They are in a pennant race and are going to do what is best to achieve that immediate goal.

I'm not implying that is the reason Dusty yanks him, I'm implying that's why he is mad about getting yanked. 

[Gourmand 7778]

 

[Gourmand 7778]

Lipstick on a pigspeak from Click.

For 23.5 million dollars, I'll show you what a fierce competitor I am and how badly I want that damn baseball.

I want guys that don’t suck. I hated the OFO signing as pointless from the word go. Take the 20 you are going to give whatever shortstop you Shon on the market and add Odo’s 20 to it and you can bring back Correa. I’m beginning to low key hate click.

Lots wrong here. Odorizzi was signed when it was thought that Framber would be out for, at least, the majority of the season. It wasn’t pointless at the time. Secondly, it is stupid to say that not signing Odorizzi to 3/$23M would free up the $300M needed to sign Correa.

Agreed but his comments suggest he distrusts the organization, which is not good right now. He should've kept his mouth shut and addressed it privately. 

[runthebone 8380]

That bitch can stay at home and get his playoff share and regular season participation ribbon just like Rat Fiers.

We had 5 guys without framber. 
Every $10 million a year helps.

Every player in baseball distrusts the organization. 

Big whoop.

So before the season you were expecting Luis Garcia to be a reliable starter in the rotation?

[Wulaw Horn 19599]

Not necessarily him but someone. I went on record the day of the signing. Hated it from the word go.

And he’s counting Javier as a starter.

And Bielack. And possibilitt

of Framber coming back. And Martes. And a bunch of other arms we could throw at the problem to find a credible 5th starter. 
And making a trade at the deadline if none of that worked. 

[Wulaw Horn 19599]

When you have 4 arms you trust and a bunch of guys knocking on the door you don’t have to have all 5 starters wired on opening day. We could have had $10 million in additional capital to use at the trade deadline or make a better offer to correa. 
I didn’t know Garcia would be great. But I knew we had enough options we didn’t need to do that.

It's a whoop when they cry to the media, especially when that media is already predisposed to the narrative that the Astros organization is big evil meanies.

[UTexasFight 9819]

Welp, pretty obvious now we won’t have to wait around a couple of years to find out if there are any sign stealing shenanigans this year….

I think we all know how this is gonna go.

Way to see offense respond with a 3 up, 3 down on 10 pitches.

Marwin hitting dingers in MMP again. WS confirmed.

MG is player of the game so far.

Wish you could change the broadcast feed.  The scoreboard is in the wrong place and I hate it.

Yordan is in a bad funk.  He's swinging at pitches at his ankles and taking meatballs for strikes.

[Gourmand 7778]

Scott Servais is such a dildo

[Storm the Field 5367]

Well, probably wont' see that again this year. Tucker triple had an expected BA of .000. Fan almost ruined it.

[elguapo 4620]

Hope security is escorting that guy out of the building soon, moron.

[Storm the Field 5367]

Jake looking like a rookie today. Big whiffs on both strikeouts.

[Gourmand 7778]

What a wasted opportunity here.
