Eleven Ks in his last 12 ABs.

Sucking is an understatement.

Maybe we pinch hit McCullers for him next time around.

    Two Diamond Club tickets available for the Sunday night game.  Free.  Need to pick them up from me in 77027. Rules: Poster must be a big contributor to this thread/last years shag thread.  No gue

i'm all for advanced statistics and analysis, but i could do without "hit probability".

Loved the Altuve hit. Thought it was going to be a popup

Do you think it is a flawed statistic or just unnecessary?

At this point I would just let Fisher play. We know what we have in Jake.

i'm positive it's unnecessary, but i honestly don't know all the factors that go into the equation (although i'm sure i can guess some of them).

i've been watching baseball most of my life, and i already know that you have a better chance of getting a hit when you hit the ball hard.  i also know that if you hit it where fielders aren't standing, that counts too.  i don't need "wow and the hit probability was only 26%" after every bloop the other way.

i get that hitters are adjusting their approach to account for launch angle, etc - but hit probability seems more like trivia than science.

Bregman is better than average. 

Hell yeah.  Keep hittin it hard!

Y'all are aware that Jake was good last year, right?  117 wRC+, 16 HRs in 259 PAs, any of that ring a bell?  It was definitely the best year of his career but I'd give it more than 50 PAs this year before deciding whether it was a fluke or a breakout.  If he doesn't come around, his playing time will go down but he'll still have value as a defensive replacement, pinch runner type.

The Astros broadcast team is fucking shitfaced drunk. 

Hai guys!

Turned on radio and we're winning? Yay. 

Sounds like Charlie is steamrolling bitches

Gattis with his 2nd out on the bases today.  Got an RBI though.

Yep. A scorched out with 99% probability of having been a hit is still an out. A bleeder hit with a 1% chance of getting through is still a hit. That said, the more often you hit it hard, I'm pretty sure the better your odds of hitting for power and average. 

Sipp warming up, need all the runs we can get

Robert Ford just dropped UGK reference on the radio

That hits close to home

Got dam Sipp. 

 

I hope 6 runs was enough. 

 

Gawd he sucks. Every fucking time

I really want to be reincarnated as a left handed bullpen pitcher in my next life. Seriously... make tons of money and you don't even have to be competent.

When you posted this, I came close to asking who here thinks we'll end up with team shutout today. I was going to call it a coin flip. But I deleted the post; didn't want to seem too negative when we were up by six for a change.

Morton 0.72 ERA

Sipp 6.0. I expect that to climb.

Edit: And it just did. To 9.0. Still room to rise even farther after today, unfortunately.

Sipp is the opposite of good

Especially one that sucks equally against lefties and righties. You’d think the Astros would know better with all their analytics
