    I can own when something goes south so this was my preseason prediction

    "Starting out the season fast with a 39-19 record through May."

    We literally cannot lose a game in May for it to come true lmao.

    You’re too late. UTPhil already called 29-0 on the last page.

     

    But yeah, there were some other really good gems on the first couple of pages of this thread from what I remember but that I’ll look back on the last week of the regular season like I usually do

    Looks like a normal Houston SP line this season. Yes, I know SUG...

    Tomorrow’s lineup is going to look a lot like Sugarland with Arrighetti on the mound, Singleton at first and Loperfido probably in LF.

    (or maybe Yordan gets the start in LF to get both Diaz and Caratini in the lineup to see if the last swing last night can keep rolling).

    Yeah, Loperfido looked at strike 2 and 3 in that at bat iirc and they were not borderline.

    Yep. 
    think he’s a guesser? Sits on one pitch and if he doesn’t see it, he freezes?

  4. May schedule talk:

    not to sound too hyperbolic about a stretch of games the first week in May, but the stretch between now and next Thursday is pretty important. 
    2 more with the Guardians 

    3 with Seattle

    3 at Yankees

    Winning each of those series means a 5-3 start to the month and 7 below .500.

    Then the schedule lightens up a bit with Detroit, before returning home for our longest homestand of the year with Oakland, Milwaukee, and LA Angels. 
    Finish the month with 7 games at Oakland and Seattle (before opening a series on 5/31 back at home against Minnesota).


    Over the past few years, Seattle feels like the tortoise in the tortoise and the hare —slowly but consistently getting better—and I think we’re going to have some knock down, drag outs with them all year. Would be huge to jump out to 4-3 or 5-2 on them this month.

    But overall, the best records in the AL in April were 19-10. With our schedule in May, pitching staff coming back together, rotten luck we’ve endured for most of April, and shedding Abreu and whatever happened to him there is no reason in my mind that we can’t replicate that and flip our 4/30 10-19 record to match that 19-10 and be back to .500 by June 1

    CLE 1-1

    SEA 4-3

    NYY 2-1

    DET 2-1

    OAK 5-2

    MIL 1-2

    LAA 3-0

    MIN 1-0

    = 19-10


    3 game win streak kool-aid tastes so good.

  5. At least my internet crapped out right before that Kwan triple to start that inning.

    screen literally froze with the ball leaving his hand so didn’t have to see any of that

    Leaving Hunter Brown too long to get tagged for a 2 run HR and his stupid handling of the bullpen. Are those enough reasons for you?

    He left Brown in one batter too long.

    Bringing in Montero in the 6th is not the problem

    At the tail end of our podcast I said basically Cleveland is the inverse of USA. Inverse records. Inverse luck. I’d be surprised if we don’t play much better ball than them over the last 135 games. 

    Memorial Day is when we usually know everything right? Isn’t that when the stats become a good predictor of everything the rest of the season?

    or is it earlier in May?

    Singleton has a 720 ops, huge exit velos, and healthy bb/k rate.  He should be playing almost everyday.  Tonight’s lineup is money.

    Bold statement in a game we have 8 runs through 4 innings

    Ok surly, who’s taking the bullet and marrying Loperfido’s hipster sister to keep him in Houston for the rest of his career? 

    Can’t  judge a flyball.

    do not want

    Brandon Belt and his 2023 138 wRC+ is still sitting on his couch

    I was happy with the Abreu news…until I saw Singlteon make the last out last inning and remembered he’s probably going to get the majority of our starts at 1B for the foreseeable future.

    Jon.

    Singleton.

    What a shitty year. 
    I mean I’m not crying for him because he’s been behind every hitter, gave up 2 other solid contacts and that’s what happens when you play with fire, but son of a butch does every half mistake we make have to get punished to the maximum? 

    I laughed at Kalas talking about his “bad luck” with his babip at .416 or something.

    and I’m thinking “I’m not sure that’s bad luck for brown this year.”

     

    (the HR was, I’ll give you that)
