2022 Houston Astros Thread

[WBT 20669]

Daniels out in Arlington.  I wonder if Young takes over of they hire someone else.  Either way they spend enough to be competitive with someone competent in charge.

Lulz. picked it up. No HRs since July 1st. 2 EBHs and 2 BBs in August. Yuli is done and it's ridiculous that he's getting this many ABs in the 2 hole.

Agree. Mancini should be everyday first base starting yesterday. It’s not an opinion it’s in black and white. First base was not meant to be manned by players who would be good hitting pitchers. Ditto for Vazquez. I prefer to think Dusty is making it a very gradual change culminating around mid September but that’s probably giving everyone too much credit. With that I rest my case about lineups until October. You’re welcome.

That said I wish we had a young guy to bring up while Diaz is hurt to try to catch lightning in a bottle like the Braves have with their guys from double A. This team could use a burst of energy.

Just bring up Leon, when he comes back from the IL. He walks, has speed, defense, and power. Of course, that comes with Ks. The Astros have gotten almost no production from Meyers, Dubon, or Siri in CF so why not give the guy a chance. Or even Julks deserves a shot over the non-production we are getting right now.

I said the same thing right before he got hit the face. I thought he could get the same audition Meyers got last year.

Yuli definitely has pictures on Dusty. So tired of seeing him in the 2 hole and starting at 1B over Mancini.

[tx 3 putt 77428]

I like Mancini behind Tucker, very strong 5-6

I keep telling myself that an optimized lineup will only score a few more runs per year than a lineup picked out of a hat but batting Yuli 2nd is really dumb.

Remind me the sept roster size these days.

28?

is Houston the MLB leader in 1 pitch outs?

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Lets not let another one slip away

[Gut Wagon 8087]

They obviously have some hitters, and they're starting to get solid contact on Valdez. That DP was huge. 

[UTexasFight 9528]

Need one or two of these guys to get on

i don’t need kelly throwing at Altuve with none on, 2 out 

[TonyTexas 10527]

Joe Kelly had a very punchable face 

[Guest]

Fuck you, Joe Kelly Cool Arrow.

[Guest]

would it be too much to ask for a 105 exit velo right back to the mound?

and of course he's gonna be a bitch.
