Quality start right?  E wry run is unearned with the Yuli error and it’s 6 innings 3ER’s right?  Not 3 total runs? 

correct, only 2 ERs there so quality start.

Yes, I understand that, but this is a MLB stadium. There shouldn’t be dead spots. My lawn looks better than MMP’s outfield right now. 


But you did have a hella bad bunny in your yard !

Man, after reading this back on Yuli’s hamate issues, it’s 1 million percent what is going on with Yordan.

Didn’t remember Yuli having it as a “pre-existing” condition for several years

I agree with Yordan waiting until after the season for surgery, but he should be resting more. 
 

If he had the surgery during the season he’d be out 2 months and he’d come back with very little power. Surgery hopefully in November. Full go in spring training.

I assume trading Brinson for cash was a 40 man roster flexibility move?

Yes

Nope. He was never on the 40. 
my guess is more they were doing him a solid so he could get back to the bigs (teams will do that for Vets with good attitudes) and also they wanted Jake to play every day and the Of was getting kind of crowded.

Mea culpa. Can’t keep up.

Must  have got him and Solomon mixed up for who was/wasn’t on the 40 man.

solomon was claimed by the pirates, btw.

also, didn’t realize Brinson was a 1st rounder, although the rangers drafted him, so not sure that really counts

It actually did have to do with the 40 man. He would need to be on the 40 man to not be eligible in the rule 5 after this season so the Astros got something for him.

Sure. But they could have done that any time between now and 11/5 or whatever it was. 
I think it was a favor to him for sure more than anything else. And teams should take care of bets like that. Enables them to stash more guys in AAA as insurance policies if you treat guys with significant MLB experience that way.

Figured Solomon would get claimed. Basically by the first team eligible to claim him. 
hope he gets it together and has a real career. Liked him down there but the velo loss destroyed his ability to be a viable candidate to come up and make a couple spot starts here and there.

When is Mancini going to start drawing Surly ire?  .196/.257/.424 as an Astro. 32% strikeout rate

Were it not for that immediate HR flurry, he'd have been on a much hotter seat (with us) long before now. He hasn't been contributing much good lately, for sure.

Yup.  That stat can be misleading.  It also means we're 86-9 when leading or tied after 8 innings.

F Manfred innings

alternate take: f Dusty extra innings management
