His curveball was getting hammered in Toronto, so it is strange they never adjusted.  Maybe could have gotten a fourth prospect from us.

shitty pitching coaches and analytics staff to back them up

I’m very curious if the Astros analytics staff is using AI to game plan

 

 

social media would have us believe it has a lot to do with AB not AI. 

Alex Bregman, lol

[Fondren & Main 6598]

Well…we won.  That’s all I care about.

[UTexasFight 9304]

Kikuchi threw 38 fastballs Friday while mixing in the slider (30) and changeup (25) and pretty much ditching his curveball, which he threw twice. He generated 26 whiffs on 51 swings, including 11 whiffs on the changeup. He generated the most whiffs by any Astros starter not named Justin Verlander or Gerrit Cole dating back to 2008.

 

 

I know it was against a trade deadline shredded Rays, but that will play.

Will be interesting to see the gameplan when he goes against them again in a couple of weeks

Current era MLB players are fucking pussies. 

No kidding, Justin Verlander, Paul Skenes, Trevor Bauer, Matt Clark just to name a few

[kevwun 15341]

Skenes should stop throwing his curve also.  It's the one pitch of his that gets hit hard.

[ChickenSandwich 9769]

We got the Gucci Kuchi last night. Certainly has good stuff

pitching coaches and their analytics staff over there need to step up their game 

[runthebone 7894]

After last night, the stage is set for the triumphant return of our savior...

Next story:  Bagwell spending time with Montero, declares him fixed.

[WBT 20280]

Hmm, maybe Crane needs an old pitcher in his brain trust.  Mayber Rocket?

[tx 3 putt 75573]

[runthebone 7894]

Randomly popped into my head

 

[BlackCat 393]

Lets do this. Where are my fellow registered pedrophiles?

4-D chess.  Pay your relievers so much that when you DFA them, no one claims them.  Surely, Bagwell’s is a dizzying intellect.  

[tx 3 putt 75573]

So Aug is off the board ….

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

 

[David Dennison 17804]

Three months for an owwy off his leg.

Nice camera angle dicks.

Big Jon

Jesus fuck, Blue. That's a K. Then he walks.

We used to, a long time ago.  I think his name was Tucker.  No one knows what happened to him.

He’s disappeared into the cornfield

This guy should have been on the Astros months ago.

Yes, still too early for any "son of TOOTBLAN" thoughts.

Pedro passing the eye test

[Scraps 13490]

So racist FOX

[Scraps 13490]

Lmao getting tagged up on there

[HtownHorn 14344]

Siri ain't doing that if Leon was in center. GG OF, haha what a horrible fucking take by Wulaw.

[runthebone 7894]

Just stop.  Jesus

We're all Astros fans.

[Scraps 13490]

0-2 homers should get you fined

[Gut Wagon 8039]

Lowe blow has us down. How about we start scoring runs? 

[Rip76 4883]

1 run seems insurmountable.

[tx 3 putt 75573]

One bad pitch for blanco

sucks 

[dr99 551]

Leon with 107.5 and 105.6 exit velocities. Espada will probably put him back on the bench for another week.

[hornmpa96 2541]

Who’s the fucking dumbass in the Fox booth?

[Scraps 13490]

Nice throw AbOrt
