  1. You are right- that was overstating with smoke and mirrors. He walked 4 guys per 9 and only struck out 10 which is really good for a starter but meh for a back end reliever. Just felt like every close game the bases would be loaded with 0 or 1 out before he'd wiggle off the hook. His fip was 3.83 so that's not bad. By comparison Abreu's is 3.4 this year and Presley is 3.05, fwiw. Hader 3.27. Scott 3.94. Dubin 3.5. We've got 5 guys this year who the numbers say are pitching better than or as good as he did last year by that metric at least.
  2. Hector Neris had just fine numbers for us last season. It was all smoke and mirrors and a merry go round on the bases. Never got the fascination with the idea of bringing either him or Maton back. No idea where Maton is or how he's doing. Probably will cost me an immaculate grid square some day.
  3. Fun episode. we talk current astros, playoff race, pitching and Hunter Brown specifically. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0xd63wa9t4uI8WSof6A2Kj?si=RcR8ruR7Rh2NIcwXRlluBg
  4. I love Yainer yall. thanks for playing maldy 125 games in the regular season and the entire playoffs Dusty you fucking cocksucking retard.
  5. And the new Urqidy (sort of) in the sense these were all guys that were definitely going to pitch for us this year and threw zero innings.
  6. If everyone is healthy come playoff time and Yordan can play LF the back end of the bench is fine. Looking at the OF for playoff teams no Toronto or Tampa means no turf, right? So that’s helpful for Yordan playing OF. Cleveland and Baltimore or big yards out in LF. Yankees short porch is RF with LF being kind of big. Minn and Seattle aren’t short there either. it’s not great on the road typing all that out. best 9 all healthy would be: Altuve/bregman/yordan/tucker/yainer/Pena/singleton (Dezenzo or whitcomb hopefully against LHP)Caratini/Meyers. Thats not great at the back end but it should be plenty good enough in competitive AB’s. If you have to sub Chas for carstini bc Yordan can’t play OF that’s a problem if Chas doesn’t get his head out of his ass.
  7. He would probably still give a more competitive AB than half todays lineup.
  8. Ahem- I said Jake should be hitting 8th or 9th in a proper lineup. The jokes on you though- Jake didn’t strike out and he got a walk. The entire lineup 4-9 was 0-17 with 7k’s. Amazingly enough if you were going to chose to play those 9 players Jake and his 687 OPS is clearly the 4th best hitter out of that particular 9. Why you would choose to play that particular 9 players if you didn’t have a gun to your head I can’t tell you, but thanks for the dub Framber- let’s never speak of it again.
  9. Have fun with his first game!
  10. I was one to give the report on Bond being a dumb dumb. That doesn’t mean he’s some greenhorn who has never done it before. He’s draft eligible not inexperienced.
  11. It’s Martinez. They must hate Whitley.
  12. If we don’t call Whitley up with Presley to the IL I’m going to stab a homeless person and frame 3 putt for it.
  13. Golden and bolden and bond aren’t unproven. They’ve done it successfully other places with much shittier QB’s. Ewers is going into year 3. He’s gotten better every year. Reports are that he’s better again this year. He’s going to be a first round pick. Sark is at worst the 3rd or 5th offensive mind in college football. He’s never had anything other than a very good offense at worst when he hasn’t had dogshit at QB1. maybe we underwhelm and have like the 12th best offense in college football. I think that’s unlikely and we are a top 3 offense, but under no circumstances will we be worse than above average. If our defense is taking it to our offense that’s good news.
  14. Mariners on their way to a 5th loss in a row. Absolutely need to step on their throats tonight and take out the trash.
  15. This is good news in my opinion. I can’t imagine our offense not being at least really good. Defense had more high level question marks in my opinion headed into camp.
  16. Does he have a little Lf on his resume as well? Thought so. If not, well if Carlos Lee can play there at 300 pounds and 35 years old at MMP anyone can. I know glove isn’t Wagners carrying card. He’s like a 1 tool player. But it’s the hit tool so that’s as important as all the others combined I think.
  17. He played utility coming up, right? He can’t possibly be worse than Dezenzo has been defensively at 1B.
  18. Also- he’s having a birthday party today. His friends have play stations. Is one of them able to login to my son’s play station over here and play from their catalogue? If so what’s to stop account sharing- only able to have one person at a time play and most gamers would never share of it meant they couldn’t play?
  19. Ok/ just got this for my 12 year old on his birthday. He’s got $160 to spend. Anyone do the play station plus subscription model? With the 160 for premium? Are the games good? anything I should know as a dad about this? thanks, I will hang up and listen.
  20. Thats basically what I’m doing with the occasional, well, you know you will be able to get in since they allow everyone sprinkled in so that it’s challenging her to do better implicitly.
  21. My 13 year old has been telling me she’s going to attend aggy for a year. I am ok with that. 1) she’s definitely not my favorite and kind of irritating. So, she can just continue to irritate me into perpetuity when she does all that weird aggy shit 2) I no longer have to pay any attention to what she’s up to in school, because she can fog a mirror so she’s definitely getting in. 3) I don’t have to worry about her graduating since if you can get in and are not a total and complete dumbass you are graduating/ so I’m not likely to flush 50-80k down the drain and have her not end up with a degree on the other end 4) I want grandkids and I want to be around to see them. She will probably get married at 23 and start popping out Kyle’s and Kyler’s at 25 or 26, so even though they will be aggy I will at least know that my blood line continues on into this world. 5) I won’t have to worry about her moving outside of Texas because what the fucking odds of that happening. Now, I’m not saying I would choose this life path for her, but I’m going to go ahead and make the best of it I guess. it’s likely she will find someone who makes 85k a year while she teaches school or something and I won’t have to financially support her into my old age.
  22. Yeah he’s no higher than 5th (that should be exactly where he is) on the leverage list. If he’s pitching in an important situation it should be when we are behind by 1 or 2 runs in the 6th or 7th. That’s about as important as it should get.
  23. I am tired of seeing turd Ferguson and Dubin on the 26 when Whitley hasn’t given up a run sugar land in 2 months or however long his 16 appearance scoreless streak is.
  24. It’s hard to describe how a team this good can have a lineup this bad.
  25. This will never happen. No worries.
