H1t P@n@ 2nd !!!!!!

I mean your stat you posted helps prove that because he has only hit there 10 times since June 1 and has went to shit. (doesn't help Yordan got hurt around that same time)

His splits are still better with him hitting 2nd than anywhere else.

So you can either try to get the most out of him batting him in front of Yordan, or you can let him rot 6-9 and be pretty worthless.

Pena owes most of his batting sucess to Yordan imo

I was thinking about this yesterday and Pena's performance is really being overlooked in light of the other struggles on the roster. 

Keith Law updated his top 60 prospect list the other day and Baltimore has a SS that's blocked in AAA behind Gunnar Henderson with Jackson Holliday coming in behind him (Joey Ortiz).  Very different game from Pena (far better contact ability/strike zone judgement with less power).  I wonder if there's any chance of a match there, maybe on a three-way trade.

Ortiz is a plus defender who had an opportunity earlier this season in Baltimore.  Defense was not the problem.  He didn’t get untracked at the plate and that cost him consistent playing time competing with veterans Adam Frazier, Ramon Urias, and Jorge Mateo.  They sent him down so he could play everyday.

While Ortiz is Norfolk’s daily SS, he’s cross trained at 2B and 3B.  I wouldn’t characterize him as blocked as much as the possible odd man in a large group that includes Henderson, Holliday, Jordan Westburg, Mateo, Frazier, and Urias.

This will be my least favorite of these ring ceremonies….

Thanks man, that just sent me down the rabbit hole of looking through the Pirates records from 2013-present. I had zero recollection of their 2015 98 win season.  

[Scraps 13538]

Fucking dumb

[runthebone 7931]

Huh, it looks like something or someone is missing.  Fucking clown medical staff.

[kevwun 15608]

If there was a way to bet if Yordan would be in the lineup tonight, I would have bet my entire savings on him not being in it.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

At least Julks is out of the lineup I guess 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Probably wishful thinking but perhaps Yordan would be available for a pinch hit 

[mbtex 683]

Well He did have to travel from Sugar Land that will take a toll. Need to rest up.

Collating rumors, Astros have had discussions about trading for:

SP: Cease, Verlander, Stroman, Lorenzen

OF: Robert, Jimenez, Bellinger

RP: Pierce Johnson (was traded to ATL yesterday)

[kevwun 15608]

Scherzer also

Maybe we should trade for some new team doctors.  Throw Madris in as a sweetener.

Waiting until the final series of the regular season to play our best lineup will give us a ton of momentum going into spring training. 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

JV is scheduled to pitch tomorrow. Let’s pull the trigger tonight if we’re gonna do it

lmao i don't think 90% of this thread did.  Big difference between hoping he plays to expecting.  Dana Brown is a known liar already.

[kevwun 15608]

Yordan isn't talking to the press because the Astros know he is pissed about not playing.

Can’t you still play with laryngitis?

Better put him on the 10 day IL to be safe.

Tell me you're not Dusty Baker without telling me you're not Dusty Baker.

Seriously, is keeping him on the line all that shocking at this point?

Most important series of the season and we’re resting 2 of our best players who are close to but not quite 100% healthy to be extra precautious. I guess only the fans feel like this series is critical to win

[tx 3 putt 76296]

I’ll guess that brown and the med staff has more say on this than the coaches

I mean, did we really expect Yordan to play until we see how tonight goes without him?
