wtf was that Dubon?  Bad jump, looking in at the pitch, shitty slide...
And now Machete leads off the next inning.
At one point i thought possibly a hit and run and the pitch was so shitty that Siri didn't commit....but thats probably giving them way too much credit for getting thrown out lol

Yeah, after I posted I thought about that too.  There's always the chance Siri screwed up.

haahahahahaha fuck you darling !!!!

they bring up Altuve's post season hr's .... Darling - makes me jealous that when I played, it was come in 1st or go home

I love how much fun Altuve has playing the game.

Let's go Ted, make them pay

Wood, it’s nice having a positive voice in the thread even under lousy circumstances. You’re the anti-Scraps

Damn, Kalas stole my point...Ted should have kicked that into the bullpen dugout

Dubon is a good all-around player. Not going to hit for average, but he's proving his value on a regular basis. 

That was rather crushed

I still root just a little more for Urquidy than the other Astros pitchers, and there are some equally likeable guys.

Not sure why.  Maybe it's because he doesn't fuck around and he throws strikes.

Nice effort this evening.

very good start of Uquidy tonight. He definitely changed it up / machete called a great game

Urquidy wants to stay in the rotation

Don’t have to make a decision for about 2 weeks right? 

Not been then really. They can just go back to a 6 man rotation.

maybe bregman is heating up 

He's heating up when he gets a hit with 2 guys on in a key situation, not the 2 ABs he got relatively meaningless singles. 

Pretty cool breakdown of the convo between Escobar and Machete at the plate by Blum. I think maybe not wanting some 100 mph chin music from Abreu may have been part of it too. Escobar gave 2 half-ass cuts at those 2 sliders in the dirt to end the AB, kinda looked like a peace offering

Great win.  The continued run support for Urquidy has got to be a running joke in the clubhouse.  

Just looked up Urquidy’s game logs. 13 starts. 5 where he pitched winning type baseball, 5 where he shit the bed and 3 in between 

The in between:

6 ip- 3 runs

6 ip- 3 runs

3 ip- 1 run. 
 

there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that track record for your 6th or 7th best starter in the organization. 
 

9-4 in his 13 starts.

I consider a starter doing his business and pitching a winning game when the team can score 4 runs and win and the bullpen doesn’t have to be perfect for 3 or more innings. So, if the team scores 5 or more while you are in the mound 6 and 3 is fine because the context might be that you are attacking the strike zone and not caring if you give up a solo HR or two. Just get the game in the barn. That’s why I called 6/3 in between  it truly remembering the context. 3/1 isn’t doing your job well bc it asks alot of the bullpen, but it’s only 1 run so your team can win. 
If I’m going to have a 5 starter with a 4.5 era I want him to get rocked occasionally and throw up a lot of 5/2 type outings. 

holy shit, the grab the base kid ran to 2nd base lol
Saw that this morning. They specifically tell every kid DO NOT RUN ON GRASS.

That's harsh imo to call quality starts in between.

Yeah i am sure it won't happen, but like Blum said a visiting lineup of Altuve, Springer then Yordan rolling into Dodgers Stadium would be funny as hell.

I think every single person whose ever looked at quality starts has bitched about the 6/3 and pointed out that it’s a 4.5 era. It’s certainly not not doing your job.  But in an era where the median run scoring team scored less than 4.5 runs a game like 2022 so far are we really to consider that winning pitching?

I’m just ambivalent toward it. If you want to give him credit for that I’m not going to say you are wrong. If the offense is average and the bullpen is perfect that makes for a win.

Do you not see additional value of a starter going 6+ Innings with an ERA of 4.5 versus  a pitcher who goes < 6 ip with a similar ERA? 

Do any of you assholes want to go to the game today? Wu hooked me up with two tix and I can't get out of work today. PM me if you want to go.

Thanks again WU!

Of course. That’s why I put 3-1 which is a 3 era in the in between category as well, b/c the innings pitched do matter. 
we were talking about exactly 6 innings in those starts- if it’s 6.1 or 6.2 or 7 even better. 
Like I said- it’s not bad. It’s not not doing your job. It’s tons more valuable than a guy giving up 1 run in 2 innings, but I don’t know that you are going to win more than half your games with that. 

Lol
