He asked for a new ball. He has to ask for a new ball before the clock hits 8 seconds.
he did not .
I think the issue the astros have is the rule states the pitcher can ask for a new ball with 8 secs left....but can be penalized if it is done repeatedly

It doesn't say its a violation automatically. Deny him, and as long as Hader starts wind up before 0 then no issue.

Still embarassing the AL central has 3 teams with a better record than the AL west leader (to go along with 3 in AL East). But we’re up to #4 in run differential in the AL!


it’s mid July, we’re good

Maybe when we are 116-46 you will look back at your post and feel bad.

Loperfido/melton/blubaugh/whitley/Leon for Rooker 

Chas/Montero/Mathews for Vlad Jr. 

Areighetti/Ullolo/Baez/Gordon for Crochet

astros new roster:

crochet/brown/framber/blanco/bloss (JV)

Diaz/vlad/altuve/Pena/Bregman/Rooker/meyers/cabbage/ Alvarez (Tucker)

Hader/presley/abreu/scott/martinez/king/Dubin

Dezenzo to replace Bregman next year- roll it back out for 2025 a little worse. Not a single joke on the big club. Not a single shred of high end prospects in the farm. Better hope Dana can develop. My gosh that lineup would be sexy, the bullpen really good at the top end and 3 guys you can squint and think of as an ace.

Vladito trade only one worth doing 

I’m still in the Alonso trade corner.

Rooker would be a middle of the order bat for 4 playoff runs - that’s worth doing, imo. Any one of the 3 would be good.

Been doing birthday and wedding shit all weekend and haven’t been able to watch first two games. Ready for this sweep today! Watching highlights it looks like I’ve missed some good ones. Loperfido has already made a handful of catches that Yordan or probably even Chas has no chance of making. If that guy figures it out at the plate he’s an asset. Enjoy watching him. But he will probably have to figure it out somewhere else. Cant have 3 glove first outfielders. DFA saved the outfield group at the plate last night with a big hit. OF batting 7 8 9 is suboptimal. Need a LF that can hit some too assuming Tucker grows a new leg and eventually comes back.

Can’t watch today either. We will catch you in Oakland tomorrow night

Assume Tucker is getting a Pistorious style blade below the knee that he used to win the real Olympics.  As long as the crack Astros Medical Staff amputated the correct leg to prepare for that surgery he should be ok.  No word on if they got the right one.

Amazingly, with these guys, it's a less than 50-50 chance
