Why in the holy hell is Bligh Madris on this fucking team and DHing? Can anyone explain or defend this?

This guy has a career wRC+ of 39. Fucking 39. He was a below average hitter in AAA this season. This is fucking asinine. 

Can someone please fucking fire Dusty or take his goddamn bad players away from him? What the fuck is Brown doing? How can you fucking allow this?

Dusty is - once again - actively reducing the team’s chances of winning for no reason whatsoever.

Maybe we can swing a Bregman-de la Cruz trade and give the Reds the veteran leadership they need for the pennant race.

You know, I'm still a fan of the Astros, just as I have been since the late '60s. But managerial stunts such as you describe are making it progressively harder to take this team seriously. Injuries are one thing, but doing stupid stuff apparently just to do it is another. I'm on the verge of tuning out, and that's pretty sad to say.

WGAF about the exhibition bullshit?  Put a fucking jugs machine out there.

We can scoff at the antics and then think about how they tried to run off Altuve back in the day.

Maybe somebody written off can blossom into that guy. Say like Alvarez.

Bottom line is that you can play that stats game and be right most of the time.  Except when you're not.

 

 

Jose Urquidy on the mound! 
- 3 up and 3 down in his first inning of work. 
- 1st batter faced Preston Tucker older brother of Kyle Tucker!  
- 2 IP 1H, 2R, 1ER, 1 BB, 2 SO
Four seam topped out at 95.9 (14 PT)
Sinker 95.6 (3 PT)
Change up (6 PT)
Sweeper (2 PT)
Curveball (6 PT)

 

23 pitches - Walk, single to right (2 runs scored off error when catcher tried to throw out runner trying to steal, 2B threw ball away going to 3rd), K, K, Pop to 3rd.

His stuff looked very sharp.

Jose Urquidy 1st inning of work in Sugar Land: 9 pitches - pop to second, fly to left and grounder to first.

Surprised he’s still chasing the dream  Hasn’t gotten a sniff in the show in 5 years. He’s 33yo. Maybe he can get a loan from Kyle in 2 years

How does that have anything to do with starting Bligh Madris over a guy that hit 2 HRs the last time he was behind the plate

You do know your hero Dusty put him there right?

Regression, sure. Horrible, nah.

Pretty horrible to me. Offense, eh. defense, terrible

He had 19 errors last season btw. He has a higher fielding % this season.

Edited by rvm96

Pena is a 2nd year player, this shit happens to most of them.  See Julio Rodriguez

LOL at Brantley hitting off a tee.  

I wish they would stop talking about Michael Brantley.

That's significant.  He's usually between 98-100 isn't he?  That much of a drop usually gets pitchers pulled.

Took a bit to get loose

sat 97 that inning and hit 99.

Yeah, once the bases were loaded it was back to normal.

his blister isn't healed 

Maybe we should have our medical staff take a look, help sell him on being an Astro.

 

Or he may wonder why a blister led to an amputation, but it's worth the risk.

In just for the One-armed Ohtani vs Tungsten arm O’Doyle tweets
