  1. Sousa pitched the 6th and 7th inning that game. This team actually needs Dubin back. Without Dubin, Abreu is the only righty in the bullpen who you can count on. I’m guessing Hader goes on the 10 day IL to rest and they bring Dubin up.
  2. I don’t blame Espada for the Yankees game. Hader had an easy 9th and then the 10th inning got away from him with a 10 pitch AB to Goldschmidt and a 7 pitch AB to Stanton. No manager is going to take his closer out of that game. As said above, the Astros have put a lot of extra innings on Hader and Abreu by pitching them in 4 run games. Abreu has 12 appearances when the Astros were winning by 4 or more runs. Hader has 6 appearances in those situations as well.
  3. Also, how many times this year have we pitched Hader and Abreu with a 4 run lead because they have decided that it’s essentially the same as 3 runs?
  4. If all of those pitchers were unavailable, we should have tried to get a second inning out of Ort.
  5. Okert’s coming out for the 8th.
  6. Mentally ill with a criminal history. Why does Greg Abbott want this person to have a gun?
  7. He needs to play against every RHP.
  8. Walker needs some Rick Vaughn glasses.
  9. Fuck this - Maldy isn’t the perfect anything anymore. He sucks at hitting. His defense is atrocious. His magic power was supposedly preparation and game planning but it didn’t actually reduce anyone’s ERA when compared to the other Astros catchers.
  10. If the runner on second base can see your grip in your glove, that’s on you. Don’t be stupid.
  11. Earlier this season to watch one of the Roku games, I was able to get the game in my internet browser on my phone and shared the screen to my Appletv. It was a pain in the ass but ultimately worked.
  12. I know that Bernie is an independent - however, why is Bernie forcing D senators to take this vote? It only forces you to piss someone off in your state. I may actually agree with the policy but taking these votes when they have zero chance to pass may have negative ramifications as you try to win seats in 2026. You can’t enact better policies until you have a majority.
  13. I would really like to see the numbers on how the new districts looked based on the 2018 and 2022 midterms. Presidential election turnouts are clearly a different animal.
  14. I will miss JP Sears. He had a 5.90 ERA against the Astros.
  15. Springer had a 27% K rate in the minors and started with a 33% rate in his first season in the majors. He had his K rate down to 24% in season 2.
  16. For those who don’t want to trade Matthews, what is the comparable player who has eliminated a similar whiff problem? In the minors, he strikes out 30% of the time. Marcus Semien may be a comp as he struck out around 30% of the time in his first 2 partial seasons with the White Sox. He eventually worked that rate into the teens. Jeremy Pena started out with a 24% K rate and has reduced it annually to his 16% K rate this year.
  17. Yep - The rumor is that the Diamondbacks are asking for a significant return for renting Suarez. That’s why several teams have pivoted away from him.
  18. Espada has been pitching Abreu and Hader with a 4 run lead all year.
  19. Do this online - it’s easy.
