  1. He shouldn’t have been hanging out with Pena the other day.
  2. If Spencer’s next start isn’t good, he still has options as well.
  3. Just score 1 fucking run and end this please.
  4. Based on the expected runs table I found via google, a 74% success rate is break-even for a runner on first with no outs. By stealing second, the runner gains .23 expected runs while losing .65 expected runs if he’s thrown out.
  5. I’m surprised that Ullola isn’t in the Top 10. He has 3.7 ERA in Sugarland this year which seems pretty good to me since 50% of the games are played in altitude. He strikes out more than 1 batter per inning. He definitely needs to work on walking fewer hitters.
  6. Don’t Murkowski and Collins take turns voting no to ensure they keep their independent street cred without actually preventing any of TFG’s nominees from being confirmed?
  7. Will Cain should have gone with the “I slept with you wife” comeback. It’s the king of all comebacks - even better than jerk store.
  8. Have they not figured out that Roman Anthony doesn’t chase?
  9. It will be interesting to see how Abreu handles being the 9th inning guy.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. If all of those pitchers were unavailable, we should have tried to get a second inning out of Ort.
  14. Okert’s coming out for the 8th.
  15. Mentally ill with a criminal history. Why does Greg Abbott want this person to have a gun?
  16. He needs to play against every RHP.
  17. Walker needs some Rick Vaughn glasses.
  18. 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.
