    He's not hurt, pitchers are throwing more stuff away because he's trying to pull everything. He either strikes out or rolls over to the 3B. The Astros offensive philosophy of pulling everything is abysmal.


    I would throw every RH batter breaking and away pitches, out of the strike zone. they love to swing and miss at those pitches 

    Altuve’s first two pitches, every game and he starts the at bat 0-2

    Noticed today that Louis Mueller has added a dinner service.  Open until 7:30 Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  

    Not the type of establishment that is going to go under by adding a dinner service, but I'm always concerned about how a barbecue joint repurposes the end-of-day leftovers.  I have no problem with a chopped beef sandwich made with yesterday's brisket, but don't serve me day old sliced brisket, pork ribs, etc.  

     

    new pit room dinner service is non bbq items. Smart move, family grub menu. Bring the kids

    Two BBQ Reports from recent travels

    The Pit Room - Houston Richmond location

    Wagyu Beef Rib was out-fucking-standing.  It outclassed everything else on the plate. 

    Brisket was not good, jalapeno-cheddar sausage felt like it needed more time on the smoker and the

    Pork ribs were better than the brisket and sausage, but it was a different cut than most places so less juicy rib meat.

    Would definitely eat that Beef Rib again, but I'd pass on everything else.  Very disappointed.

    Stiles Switch - Austin

    Fatty Brisket - good bark, very juicy, could easily pull it apart and was pretty damn good.  

    Jalapeno Cheddar sausage - good snap on the sausage, but overall I'd say it was average

    Turkey - pretty juicy for a turkey breast, not too much rub so not whole lot of flavor

    Pork Ribs - outstanding, only ribs I've had better were Barb's and Pinkerton's (most favorite pork rib)

    Beans were terrible; mac-n-cheese was better than average

    Wanted to try Interstellar this time, but Stiles Switch was much closer. 

    Planning another trip to Barb's in two weeks, hope to be in line early enough to try the lamb chops.

     

     


     

    pit room’s beef rib and chicken tacos are top notch. Great sides

    I don’t know how anyone “frequents” Franklins unless they are retired…


    back in his trailer days, you’d see half of shaggy bevo there on any given day for lunch 

    it was crazy. Has many lunches there with great people

    This sounds like Dana’s interviews last year when he would say that Diaz deserved more games behind the plate. I’m getting the impression that he doesn’t really have a say in when to pull the plug on Abreu.


    Diaz needs less games, and more quality at bats. He’s hit the wall on being the starter 

  7. In two days, Jose Abreu has forced...

    Loperfido down, a LH option who was hitting .333 w/ an .817 OPS. 

    Chas to the bench, a .770 career OPS guy, who had an .842 OPS last year.

    Dubon to the bench, one of the best contact hitters in the game w/ a .319 avg & .779 OPS.
