McCullers Jr. done with his 2 innings for @SLSpaceCowboys (35 pitches, 20 strikes): 2 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, BB, 3 K, wild pitch.
 

Struck out the side in 1st inning, bit of a struggle in 2nd. 

Tonight he'll tear his rotator cuff while hanging a shower curtain.

Lol I've won it before, not a big fan of them calling it after the 9th now. 

Yeah clearly an attempt to a) sell for longer during the game, b) hope more jackpots go unclaimed (they will)

Not having a Thursday home night game until Memorial Day weekend is…weird (as is not playing on Thursday for 5 straight week after this week)

The first year that Andrew and I did our podcast we released on Thursday for a couple months because that was an off day like 7 weeks in a row and we wanted people to be able to listen on an off day with no game going on. Thursday is a terrible day to drop a 1 time a week podcast so we switched, but that was the reason and that was why. Not quite all that weird I don't think.

It is weird for the Astros.

5 Thursdays off in a row (outside of the all-star break) is surely unusual and uncommon.

 

we’re going to definitely wish we had one of those off days available during the stretch where we’re playing 23 games in 24 days starting August 15.

I hope they have a lot of towels in the dugout tonight, Ronel and Cam can get super soaked before the first pitch. It looks like they are playing in a sauna. Bad look for Daikin

We had 4 in row last year immediately following the ASB

New city connect debuts tonight.

He can sweat all he wants if he runs back tonight what he did on the first city connect night last year.

I’m really hopefully the plan this year isn’t to give Dubon another 400 at bats.  

Agreed - Dubon’s value is giving the regulars a day off, defensive replacement in the OF in the late innings and someone who can fill-in multiple spots if someone is injured.

Its game 4 - nobody needs a day off.

.269 / .361 / .657 last year 

avg / slugging / ops and gold glove defense

Defense has to be really bad at second for me to think that’s where we should be willing to sacrifice offense, particularly playing between Pena and Walker.  And he’s an out machine.  

That said, I can live with him there.  It’s letting Dubon take away at bats from any of the rostered outfielders that I really object to (even fucking Chas).

He's fucking awful with the bat. Giving him anything more than a day a week is too fucking much when you consider the other hole in the lineup batting 9th playing CF.

Paredes seeing 33 pitches per AB is cool and all, but it would be a helluva lot cooler if he would keep some shit fair for a hit every now and then

Glad to see Isaac swing at the first pitch there. Hick’s pitch sequence has been the same for almost every batter:

1st Pitch - Get over fastball

2nd Pitch - Fastball on the outside edge

3rd Pitch - Offspeed on the Outside
