  1. I literally hate that crayon eating fuck baseball hate- apparently he’s a great human being.
  2. Why rest your leverage guys yesterday if you weren’t going to pitch them in a tie game here?
  3. And even a left hander at that.
  4. I said pitching development staff but what everyone knows I meant i Maldy's magical pixie dust that's still coating the organization in his awesomeness.
  5. Is that any relation to muledick
  6. Here is what you don’t get… all that shit is absolutely a thing and correct. but, and this is the most important but, our pitching development staff is so fucking awesome that it overrides all the shit you said that’s absolutely 100% true.
  7. Meters will keep doing what he’s doing if his contact profile stays the same and his strikeouts stay very low. that contact profile was made to juice babip and have slugging suck dick. Mission accomplished.
  8. Still not Bryce Matthews. Fuckers.
  9. If only someone would have analyzed all the players so far and determined that nobody (other than Hunter Brown) is really pitching above their expected contact profile and this isn't some sort of fluke where a bunch of pissrods are getting hit right at people. The bullpen is striking fools out left and right and not walking a ton of guys. Except for Abreu. And that's just his process, you have to respect that. There is nothing unsustainable about anything going on right now except for Jeremy Pena and Hunter Brown. He's been generationally awesome (like 4th best first half of a season for any Astro pitcher ever) when his underlying numbers say he's merely been all start good. And Jeremy Pena's underlying numbers say that he's probably performing like an all star and his actual stats say more like MVP. Beyond that there's more bad luck than good on this team in comparing expected outcomes to actual outcomes. The bad luck on a granular level is probably balanced by the good luck on a team overperfoming pythag level and this team is what it appears to be- 94-100 win type of good. It's baseball so anything can happen coming in- but I'd be shocked if we don't win the division and would expect us to win 95. Maybe that's good enough for the 1 seed- maybe it's good enough for the 3 seed.
  10. So Gordon sort of sucks at pitching and he’s a dumb dumb
  11. This is why I’m bearish on him in the longterm. Gusto.
  12. Should probably consider scoring some more runs.
  13. It’s impossible to know on Whitcomb with their refusal to play him at all.
  14. Hope I’m not. I said I doubt he’s ready. But try something.
  15. They should have brought up Matthews and played him everyday until the all star break. I doubt he’s ready by the way, but it would be fun and it might work out. There’s no real reason not to do that.
  16. I mean- you can come by in October to point and laugh at everyone gripping and melting down. My general sense of equanimity disappears when the Calendar flips to October. Yes- it would be sort of dumb not to do that as opposed to flying him out there for a game across the country to LA, and then half way back to Houston. Why mess with it?
  17. Dana- that’s my fetish scooby doo gif.
  18. Off days are awful, that's true.
  19. Who you gonna believe- the guy telling you this is a 92-97 win team all year of the sky is falling crowd?
  20. Dubon is your every day shortstop. That should not even be remotely up for discussion. Slap dick Guilerme is his backup. Chas comes back and is the 4th OF. Yordan is right around the corner this time without a broken hand. Don't be bedwetters, we are completely and totally fine.
  21. You replying to me? Because no- Pena not to the 60. Yordan or Arrighetti or some of the other dudes on the 10 or 15 that could be on the 60.
  22. Nah, you could transfer guys to the 60 day IL and kick that can down the road. Yordan isn't on there and he's probably already spent 60 on the DL. Dezenzo. Arrighetti. All those guys could easily be on the 60 man. Also- we have some slap dicks on the 40 man roster that could go bye bye and it wouldn't matter. Matthews should get the call. It's past super 2 if he stays up and sticks. If he doesn't you just keep him down next year until May and he doesn't earn the extra year of service time. Like Kyle Tucker. If yall recall he played a fair bit in 2028 and 2029 (like 75 AB's each year) without earning any service time or even super 2). So-best case he belongs and you've solved 2b for 6 years. Worst case he needs more seasoning and you actively fuck with his clock next year and call him up in May if he's ready.
  23. Baseball in general, Astros in particular.
  24. Nahlin is hyping up Moore- I don’t see it, but sure- it’s possible I guess. DJ Campbell for sure. Travis Shaw maybe? hopefully Arch has a decision to make after winning a Heisman and National title and decides to come back. Tre Wiesner. Moore. None of this is prediction, just plausible guys that could go. if it’s not 10 again it should be close.
