[Scraps 13570]

Karl ravech asks the dumbest fucking questions

[UTexasFight 9523]

Nsiap:

Ronel’s 44 outs before his first hit allowed are the most by a pitcher to begin a season in at least the expansion era (1961).

But isn't Hader supposed to strikeout the world?

[Scraps 13570]

Get a save you fucking fuck

Can we trade this motherfucker for CarGo and Fiers again?

Only half joking.

[UTexasFight 9523]

Only 800 more regular season games to go with Hader 

[David Dennison 18944]

Bregman, Altuve, and Abreu bailing Hader out.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Hader is trash. Every pitch a meatball, hard hit. 

[WBT 20652]

First win allowing 2+ hits thanks to Hader 

[UTexasFight 9523]

Really wanted to keep the “we only win when we give up 0 or 1 hits”, but I’ll take it

Gracias Yordan. Aye te wacho. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Astros have been playing .500 baseball since getting swept by NY

[At Ease 44]

Hader had an ERA over 15.00 in his first month with the Padres in 2022.

[Mo Horn 8853]

I'll take wins however we can get them. 

[Saint Tacky 1614]

My 8-year-old looked at the batting line up last night and said, "Singleton batting 6th? We really have no hitters."

Which is funny because here is the ops+ around the diamond for the astros regulars:

Diaz- 152

Abreu- -36 (yikes!)

Altuve- 227

Pena- 160

Bregman- 50

Mccormick- 103

Meyers- 150

Tucker- 137

Alvarez- 147

Total- 117.

 

Abreu won't stay this bad.  Bregman won't stay this bad.  Altuve and Pena and Meyers won't stay this good.  Everything else looks about right to me- alvarez and tucker get a little better, probably chas as well, diaz a little worse- but at the end of the day this team is going to end up with an ops about 20% better than the league, which is where we are at right now, which is going to mean we are a top 5 type team in runs scored.  Our sequencing has sucked so far- that's about all there is to it.  That stuff happens in a 10 game sample size- it's not a big deal at all.  Last night we got the sequencing right and we won because of it (that and good pitching).
