Wow, JV vs Charlie f'n Morton on Tuesday.  Probably another low scoring game.

Cole vs Yarbrough on Wednesday

Grienke vs TBD

 

Nice long game by Hinch with the cole “injury” to get those three lined up for the Rays

Yankees lost but the Dodgers had one fucking hit through 8 but scored 3 in the bottom of the 9th to win 3-2.  Kike had the walkoff.

1 back of the Yankees and 3 back of the Dodgers.

funny blum said we're about to be 13-7 but feels much worse.  glad they feel it too.

at least 2-3 of those losses should've been wins, but whatevs.  yankees just got swept and now they have to play the dodgers.

This August is actually significantly better record wise than the last few seasons.  It doesn't feel like it though.

That’s what happens when you’re so fucking good and have won, on average, 63% of your game dating back to the beginning of 2017.

Oh what do you know. We have a .650 winning percentage.

But yeah, mix in a 5 game losing streak and two games that felt a little like losing game 7 of the World Series and you’d think we haven’t won a game all month

I think those are the exact words uttered by my gf

They are also great to wear when practicing baseball in the backyard with my 4 yo

Either way, little dude is going to look sharp at MMP on Sunday:

I have no idea if this is true or not. If so it’s pretty crazy.

The reason Reymin Guduan was suspended

 
So, some background here right quick. We here at Astros County don't do this kind of thing terribly often. We knew that Brad Ausmus had interviewed back in August 2012 for the managerial position that went to Bo Porter. McTaggart refuted the rumor the next day. Then we were vindicated by Ken Rosenthal about a month later. Point is, we don't Break News terribly often. That said, it was reported on August 4 that Reymin Guduan was suspended for the remainder of the season for a "disciplinary issue." Luhnow said:
[Guduan] broke our team rules and is being disciplined because of it. 

On August 10 there was a report that the suspension would go through the rest of the minor-league season, which ends at the beginning of September, but could possibly be called up once rosters expand. Luhnow indicated that the team had not decided if he would be reinstated.

So here's the situation as recounted to us, and not denied by multiple parties:

Dean Deetz is a little bit of a character, and talks a lot of smack. He was giving Reymin Guduan The Bidness about not being able to throw a strike. Guduan responded by throwing a shoe at Deetz and  missed (badly, apparently), to which Deetz responded "See?" That is legitimately funny. What happened next is not. Guduan picked up a bat, swung it, and hit Deetz in the head. Guduan apparently didn't get a great swing on it, but "it definitely dazed" Deetz.

Guduan was removed from the clubhouse, but came back later, this time with a knife. "He didn't do anything with it, but he stood at his locker and glared at Deetz." No one called the police, but the Astros did suspend Guduan. That, by any standard of the law, is assault. You'll notice on Round Rock's website that Dean Deetz did not pitch between July 26 and August 5, which was a span of eight games in nine days.

Whether or not that Guduan pitches with his left arm, with varying degrees of success, should qualify him for helping the Astros in September and in the playoffs is up to you.
