Welcome to random lineups/off days for at least the next two weeks.

Astros announced Forrest Whitley has suffered a right lat strain. Dusty Baker said they “flirted” with the idea of adding Whitley to the rotation during this 17-game stretch in 17 days. He’s unsure how long he’ll be out. Ronel Blanco is an option.

Sparky mentioned pregame -

wouldn't be shocked if A’s pitching played tough today 

 

Yordan !!!!!

His era and winning percentage  are better than Maldy’s. 
of course, this is the first Hr Javier has ever given up in his career because that shit head Diaz called the HR pitch. 

[Dondrysdale1 363]

Abreu with the strikeout swinging on a pitch way out of the zone. Had to insure he had one today so best he start early and do it with bases empty and not in a pressure situation with men on.

[Scraps 13540]

Joe morgan name that astro

[Scraps 13540]

Lol not smart to have a timer violation to walk the guy before Yordan

[David Dennison 18652]

Wow. That could not have gone worse.

[Scraps 13540]

Ok maybe smart move....jfc

[David Dennison 18652]

I think Noda has Javier figured out.

[Scraps 13540]

There we go Jake

[billfromlaketravis 11358]

[rvm96 1643]

[HtownHorn 14468]

Happy for Jake, his trade value is approaching his all time high.

[kevwun 15624]

[uoftorange 1386]

[uoftorange 1386]

I understand we have 17 games in 17 days or some such, but are we really relegated to using a minor league pitcher?

[Scraps 13540]

Hit the showers dude....thanks for making that way harder than needed lol

[Scraps 13540]

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

how many MLB parks , like Oakland, have the bullpen on the sidelines?  The Astrodome did, and Wrigley does, anyplace else?

Tropicana, Wrigley moved theirs

It's part of the reason Oakland Col and Tropicana are by far the two worst stadiums in baseball

[elfenix 34171]

fizzy!

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

can we schedule the Oakland Fs about 60 times this year? too late? 

[tx 3 putt 76315]

Back 2 Back. !!!

[elfenix 34171]

TUVE BOMBS!

[runthebone 7932]

So Altuve has more home runs than Abreu.  Took longer than I thought.

If Altuve's swing is wrong, as someone dimly suggested a couple days ago, I don't want it to be right.
