Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread

I'm just watching on the app and saw the velocity drop.  I am fucking pissed that Espada's stupid ass didn't notice it and that Brown's dumb ass didn't intervene.

[Wulaw Horn 18920]

Another fucking should have been a double play ball. This game is so fucked.

It just occurred to me that the Orioles might someday be the answer to the question “what if Luhnow wasn’t fired?”

O’s 3 hits that inning were 88, 89 and 92. Not quite as bad as I thought but combined with shitty launch angle on 2 of them you’d not expect that to be a rally. 

[UTexasFight 9306]

So dumb

5 singles under 90 mph EV

O’s color guy, former ML P Dave Johnson, spoke just yesterday in NY about studies correlating the number of pitches in an inning to arm issues … he said 30 pitches of max effort is the tipping point from muscle fatigue to tissue breakdown.

Johnson seemed surprised Bloss came back out for T4 based on pitch count … including 35 in the third.  Hope he doesn’t have a lasting problem … nice start.

Oh is that Davey Johnson? That guy’s a sack of shit. 
 

Otherwise, very informative stuff.

One AB too late bregs

 Great play Jake. Yes I’m a hater but can’t deny the play. Mix in a hit or two and I’ll sing your praises all the way to the bar. 10-12 times

Jake, with a baby bat flip?

[tx 3 putt 75634]

Jake upping his trade value. Very smart of him showing out vs the O’s 

[Overlord 366]

I feel bad for Jake. 
 

The one season that he has a very good chance of being in center during playoffs. We don’t make it.

Look man, we’ve got 9 more outs to get with the soft underbelly of the bullpen all that’s available. I don’t love our chances here still.

Strikeout rate be damned I like Joey, he’s a gamer.

I don’t know what else Loperfido needs to do to take at bats away from Chas.

68 mph

Would have really liked to have seen what Bloss could do against not the best hitting team in baseball.

My bad, thought it was from hitting the base on the slide.

[Mo Horn 8732]

Keep adding runs 

Breggy

[LCHorn 2565]

Good, pour it on

Astros showing all the Astros / O’s execs that they need to make a move
