Justin Verlander threw 37 pitches in two simulated innings, hitting 94 mph, and said he will need two Minor League starts before returning to Astros.

    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

Any team batting their outfield 7-9 has no business making the playoffs.

 

stay tuned for more hot takes. I’m smoking a pork belly currently and have some ribs, chicken and boudin to put on later. The next 4 hours should be fun. Be kind.

Astros manager Joe Espada said it’s “pretty safe to say” that Lance McCullers Jr. will be out for the rest of the season.

The fact the Astros are still pretty good despite getting nothing out of McCullers ($18ish), Abreu ($19.5), Montero ($11.5) is pretty astonishing.Almost $50m of nothing.


no Tucker, no Javier, no urquidy 

and still in first bitches !!!!

Dana:

Kikuchi: wanted a guy with a really good fastball and decent feel for breaking balls. like how he settled in after Rays were hunting fastballs.

Ferguson: need strikeouts in your bullpen. like what he gives for this. probably 6th, maybe 7th inning guy, depending on needs.

first base: "may have to call a young guy up from the minor leagues." cost for getting  a first baseman at the deadline, felt like even more players we would have had to give up than Kikuchi.  Called out Dezenzo and Whitcomb as options. Whitcomb playing at first yesterday was "clips of coming attractions"

JV: will get one more light bullpen , like he would between starts. then a rehab start; corpus likely up next because that's what lines up @tx 3 putt (didn't give a date); go to a 6 man rotation when he gets back.

Ryan Gusto: Ford asked about him. Brown didn't discuss him too much but used the chance to reinforce how deep we are to have been able to absorb the mess of the starting rotation this year.

Chas/Jake struggles: Let's see if Leon can get hot. need Chas down the stretch. he was great down the stretch last year and not having that and missing Tucker, really tough. Need Chas to find his stroke. Jake was up to .790 OPS. need him to get back to at least .740. Hopefully we get a spark from Leon.

No Meyers. Makes the beer colder and the bbq tastier. Now if we only had someone to take Spaghetti’s place 


his past 5 starts have been very #4/5, zero support 

#15570

You’d figure maybe he’d make the guy with two walks in the inning through him a few strikes before swinging with the bases loaded.

#15575

In a world of brain-dead players, we're apparently trying to corner the market. It's as if several guys have nonrefundable October cruises planned.

My 4 year old just said he wanted to blow up singletons house. I think I messed up. 

No Houston jury would convict.

It’s like we scored 10 runs yesterday...but didn't.

Yordan contributing bases-empty singles isn't the cure for this malaise. When was the team's last 4-hit inning? During the pandemic?

Possible cheap arm ?

10 straight games Astros pitching with 10+ K’s

 

last time Aug-Sep 2022

Cleveland has MLB record with 13 straight in August 2017

Would have been nice to coincide with a productive offense.

I’ve never in my life heard of the stat …….

Squared Up Swings 

 

 

lololololol another worthless stat 

Had to be Boras and his people. Tied with Witt Jr in any category is a joke.

Is there anybody in the organization that can have a come to Jesus talk with Bregman? He needs to focus on getting on base in front of Yordan. This driving the ball and trying to knock in runs shit isn’t working for him.’
