  1. Hunter Brown last 15: 8-2, 1.66, 111, 25. It won’t move the needle nationally because MLB marketing sucks, but give me an ALCS with Skubal vs Detroit kid Brown facing off twice
  2. From two weeks ago… what has Brice done since? K’d 28.8% of the time, right in line with his overall minor league average of 29.3%. so yeah, get ready for more Whitcomb.
  3. Yep. Gonna be interesting to see where they try to hide him to avoid him coming up with 2 outs and runners on. We’ve been sooo good in that situation this year. he needs to room with Paredes on road trips
  4. I sheepishly admit that, up until last year, I did not realize or remember that you have to have runners on both 1st and 2nd (or bases loaded) for the infield fly rule to be invoked. I thought it was anytime there was a force out with less than 2 outs.
  5. The thought crossed my mind while at the game Friday that we could see these two teams in late October.
  6. This is an interesting way to field a AAAA lineup and play down to the Rockies
  7. Correa missed exactly 2 months, fwiw. see you on Labor Day, Jeremy
  8. Happened on a changeup no less… drink some milk, son. (Change up or not, 89 to the ribs is not fun). and have we confirmed there were no masseuses involved in the fracturing of this rib?
  9. Fuuuuccckkkkk! Off days suck. why can’t we have nice things. better now than in 2 months when “the inflammation subsides”, I guess.
  10. Wandy. Top 5 lefty starter in franchise history.
  11. I think that has to be right. honorable mention to: Pena and his 4th highest WAR in the majors. Meyers batting .306 (and .264 behind in the count. Never had a season higher than .220 before this year and that was his rookie year when he only appeared in 49 games. Other years were .164, .183, and .151) I would also say the bullpen (excluding Abreu and Hader), but as much shit as we give Dana, the man knows how to put together a bullpen of no names. on the negative side: Walker giving Abreu a run for his money And of course doing all of this with Yordan appearing in only 29 games (and never really getting going), no Bregman, no Tucker. They don’t hand out shit for what you’ve done through 81 games, but Dana has to be in the running for GM of the year to this point.
  12. Yeah that was my first thought. run differential of 0 on the homestand = 5-1 record
  13. averaging 9 pitches an AB is really impressive Altuve can go an entire series and not see that many pitches
  14. 19 fouls balls for Paredes today just set a new daikon park record seeing 37 pitches
  15. Paredes sets him up, Altuve knocks em down
  16. Parades has seen 30% of Taillon’s pitches. Lol Just walk him already.
  17. What did Jake do to get better with 2 strikes. do we actually need to credit snitker/cintron?
  18. Dana talking about Yordan being back pretty quick. threw out dodgers series, said it wasn’t likely but an outside possibility re: Pena said he called Boras shortly after the announcement and said they were still interested in a long-term deal and would be in touch
  19. Tucker, Smith, Parades trade a combined 8-12 with 3 HRs tonight.
  20. Angels third most HRs in the majors, 1 behind Cubs for 2nd, 5 back of the Dodgers for 1st in 2 fewer games)… but bottom 5 in OBP.
  21. Circling back on this. Damn! I was actually close. The worthless shit that sticks in a 10 year old’s brain until he’s well in to his 40s. The June ‘92 game referenced above with the Inky HR was June 21 against the dodgers (part of a 3 game set we swept by a combined score of 5-1) https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/HOU/HOU199206210.shtml The game I was at was a week earlier, when Inky had two HRs (and 7 RBIs)…(back when this game was a proper sport and you used an actual pitcher (if you can call Rob Mallicoat (?) that) to close out a game you’re up 15-3 going to the 9th instead of a position player.) https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/HOU/HOU199206140.shtml Making the most of being the program cover boy for June of ‘92 Speaking of “back when this game was a proper sport”, I don’t know what’s more impressive: the entire can of skoal tucked under his lip, or busting it from 2nd to 3rd with the can in your back pocket
  22. It’s crazy how bad his home/road splits are. Is it the batter’s eye? maybe too worried about how long the line is at his coffee stand in LF?
  23. It’s so dumb. After the tucker homer you leave him out there for one more guy? Instead of letting him eat innings?
  24. Espada will say he just got a little unlucky with a couple of balls just barely clearing the wall…
  25. Like taking candy from a baby with LMJ on the mound, unfortunately.
