this is the McHugh I know and dreaded as a SP.... that blow up inning. Which was why last year’s performance was such a pleasant surprise.

I still ride for McHugh but it's getting awfully hard. Pretty evident we need a solid to above average 3.

 

MadBum or Stroman me please

1. the collin mchugh back to sp experiment is over.  he can still be a valuable reliever who can get you 3-6 outs and be nasty without having to face anyone twice.  i would prefer framber or james or just about anyone else at this point take over sp5 (anyone from aaa?) or suck it up and go with a 4-man and maybe go tandem twice a month.  i still have some hope for peacock, but he's a 5 inning guy.

2. how come it's so easy for us to ground into a dp but so hard for us to turn one?  is there a dp differential stat i can look up, because we've gotta be last (or first, whatever).

3. hello darkness my old friend.  by darkness, i mean bourbon, the brownest of the brown liquors.  christ it's still light outside.  but at least it's wednesday.

4. shit, it's tuesday.

Corbin looks the part and ready for a chance in the early going, but not sure if they would consider pulling the trigger for his MLB debut in early/mid- May

Currently pitching tonight. 1 ER thru 5.

I once thought it was gonna be amazing to see.Altuve get his 3000th hit....now im not sure he will even get to 1500

Time to swap Correa and Altuve in the lineup? Correa is still batting 5th for some reason

the way our lineup is capable of performing, we don't need jv/cole shit.  just 6ip, 4er, 5k, 2bb and give it to the pen.  we can score 5-6 most nights, especially at home vs kc.

going down 8-0 in the 4th inning ain't gonna get it done.

Sooo switch the handed-ness and lose about 50 lbs and not sure I could tell the difference between T White and Dallas Keuchel in that last inning with the way he was having a little bit of control issues but trying to live at the bottom of the zone

Maccu...McU.....McHu......McYoucannotbeastarteranymore.

Let’s score 14 or so tomorrow to give Peacock enough run support for the W and then get ready to kick the silver boot up Arlington’s ass.

keep winning. big game tonight for Collin, want to seem him pitch well and us score one more run than our opponent. 

Furk.

I love Collin. I want him to do well. He's got something wrong and needs to fix it, preferably without costing us games.

Good for Fiers. At one time, he was the anchor in our starting rotation.

also fuck this game and fuck blackjack. My new favorite thing is going to play blackjack and watch the game. Astros are getting pounded and I’m splitting aces. Get another ace, so  another split. 20, 20, 19, I’m feeling pretty fucking good.  dealer hits 21, on 5 cards. Fuck this world

His biggest problem is that he needs to only pitch an inning or 2 while throwing mainly sliders and curves.

So...Altuve. Now over 150 PAs, so some of these numbers are beginning to stabilize.

He's striking out 16% of his PAs (career is 11%). He's making contact on 79% of his swings (career is 87%). He's making contact on pitches in the zone at 86% (career is 93%).

On batted balls - 17% line drives (career 22%); 39% fly balls (career 31%). 

BABIP - .225 (career .338)

There has to be some bad luck at play, as his BABIP is more than 100 points below his career avg (and 75 points below league average). But he still seems a little different than he's been. Your eyes aren't lying if it seems like he's missing pitches he didn't used to miss, and that he is hitting more fly balls and fewer line drives. BABIP figures to come down some if you exchange some line drives for fly balls (though not to the extent that his has). 

Not sure what is going on here - but it seems like he's trying to hit HRs. Why would a guy who is one of the best players in baseball change his approach? Maybe he hasn't, but it appears as though he has.

It seems his approach has changed. It does not seem like He is just trying to make contact and rely on his speed. It looks like  He is pull happy.

Yes, he was dominant in his 1st inning. He's a reliever, and a very good one.

He's not healthy.
