I think we need to seriously consider LMJ moving to the BP.. He simply cannot handle starter innings.. 

uh he apparently can't handle any innings

Do we still not have a SP announced for the game in 4 1/2 hours? lol 

Are we about to bring up one of these scrub ass dudes like Watkins to make a start or are we activating Urquidy? 

Not sure there is another option on the actual current roster.

When was the last time Gage pitched?

I don't know what the plan is but I'm sure it involves sitting at least 2 of Yordan, Chas and Diaz.

Not sure, but going straight bullpen day seems dumb when we aren't getting a day off tomorrow.  He's like what 2 inning max on a good day? 

I guess the positive is they all had a day off last night

Dusty has already said Altuve will be off today.

I looked at Gage's stats and he hasn't gone higher than 2.2 IP all season and 2 innings isn't common for him.  He last pitched on the 27th.

He should probably just gently place the coffee on a shelf or table, most likely gonna tear something trying sling it around

Start stretching him out

I think that the Rangers will be mentally broken once the Astros take over 1st place. Young teams if limited playoff experience usually don't react well when veteran teams finally chase them down and overtake them.

Rangers are losing players, while the Astros are getting our guys back.

Dana Brown hinted that they were working on finding bullpen help but when Justin Verlander came available that threw all plans out the door. Brown says it’s possible one of the starters can go to the pen.From @SeanUnfiltered and @BLima790 show

I call bullshit on that.

McTaggart said they wanted Raley too but it “didn’t get done”

Bielak is much better than Montero and probably Stanek too. Call him up, dfa the other 2. 


we should have traded stanek after we landed verlander

No more Bielak/Blanco starts will be nice.  They did an admirable job eating some innings but yeah.. 

So JV, Framber, Javier, France, and Brown for 1 turn and then to a 6-man the rest of the year when Urquidy comes back?

Sounds pretty good, especially once Framber and Javier are unfucked.

Not so fast my friend 

Ronel Blanco will start for the Astros today. Matt Gage was optioned back to Triple-A last night postgame.

I must have missed something.  Why isn't Javier taking his normal turn?  Just an extra rest day?

Can't pass up the chance to have him pitch another no-hitter in New York.

"Dusty Baker has now managed five no-hitters, tied for the fourth most in MLB history with Fielder Jones, Connie Mack, Leo Durocher and Bruce Bochy, according to Elias. Only Walter Alston (seven), A.J. Hinch (six) and John McGraw (six) managed more."

Who’s gonna tell Detroit that Verlander is kinda more of Houston’s thing now?

Crane is paying $16 million for LMJ and $12 million for Brantley to not even play.

Better be working every game slinging mad cocktails and lattes at that bar to make up for it.

Trey Mancini DFA’d by Cubs

It’s a damn shame what we did to that boy. We plucked him from his comfortable perch in Baltimore, where he was a cult hero. We brought him right into a crucible of fire for World Series dominance, and the poor chap couldn’t handle the heat. And then we ditched him like the fat chick the morning after a drunk night at the bar. 
 

RIP Trey Mancini’s career.

Great dude though.  I'm glad he got a ring with us.

You know you're DH is really good when he's batting 9th.

This is exactly why we needed a bat. I’ve always said since Astros joined the AL, that if your DH is batting below 6, you don’t have a DH, you just have a guy taking up a spot in the lineup.

I took the boy to Chicago to see Wrigley and he was the most excited about Mancini (because Astros) .. We watched the replay of the catch he made off the Schwarber.... We talked about what a great guy he was an all that.. Crazy to think we may have been in person for his last MLB game..

He totally earned his ring with that one play.

But that one night was totally worth it... 

In the eighth inning, Mancini corralled a wicked, one-hop grounder by Kyle Schwarber down the first-base line, sprawled into foul territory and then tagged the bag to strand runners at the corners. “I had nothing going through my head,” Mancini, who had not played in the field since Oct. 5, said. “I just tackled it, basically.”  A late sub at first base after Yuli Gurriel got hurt — and playing in the field for the first time since Oct. 5 — Mancini stopped a grounder by Schwarber going nearly 100 mph. “Before the game, if you told me I contribute in a big way tonight, I thought it would come with my bat, not my glove,” Mancini said. “I’m much more known for my bat than my glove I’d say. “Just really happy to contribute. That was a huge win,” he said.

At least we will have the memory of the 1 play he made.
