I mean, I'm glad we didn't, but the amazing parlor tricks we've been using aren't working this week. Regression to the mean, yada yada.
July 10Jul 10 "Right calf tightness" for Jake. Same issue as before. Obviously wasn't ready to come back. Edited July 10Jul 10 by Storm the Field

He was 2-0 and none of the 4 games he gave up runs were important to the game, whereas every time Abreu gives up a run we lose.

You’d think they’d be able to figure out if it’s an Achilles or a torn calf, but you’d also think they’d could ID a broken hand or broken ribs, so who knows.
July 10Jul 10 Watching our AAA outfielders strike out AB after AB sure is fun. Edit: Not even AAA starters. These guys are replacements of replacements. Jake, Yordan, Chas ---> Melton and Dezenzo --> Hummel and Trammell. Edited July 10Jul 10 by Storm the Field
July 10Jul 10 Jake could have hopped off the field holding his severed foot in his hand and “calf tightness” would still be all we get from this medical staff.
July 10Jul 10 In better news, the Mariners lost again. 14 minutes ago, tx 3 putt said: jake update - calf tightness
July 10Jul 10 Go make a fucking trade for Tauchman. Taylor, Hummel, and Short are all failed MLB players. Fucking stop signing them over real MLB bench guys.

July 10Jul 10 Letting that no name pitch into the 8th when all of their high leverage guys are out for today was abysmal.
July 10Jul 10 Shitty series. We come in red hot, they come in losing 10 in a row, so of course they sweep us. Baseball gonna baseball
July 10Jul 10 I am glad i watched every minute of this aaa team trying to beat this dogshit team 1 time. Fuck it.

Yep https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/new-era-nothing-beats-real-campaign-fernando-tatis-jr.html Quote “I’ve been to all 30 active ballparks. Since 2015, I’ve averaged over 100 Astros games a season and 92 Postseason games. I own over 50 Astros New Era hats. And I have caught four home run balls and dozens of foul balls during games. I’m the ultimate Astros superfan because Astros baseball has been in my DNA since I arrived in Houston from a refugee camp in the summer of 1979. For over a decade now, I’ve been able to live out my childhood dream by catching hundreds of Astros games a season,” said Nguyen Le.
July 10Jul 10 Well thats par for the course....sweep the Dodgers then get buttfucked by the shitty Guardians.Cool. Cool.
July 10Jul 10 Aaron Boone said DJ LeMahieu was willing to begin working at 3B again, but the position had been too physically demanding for him. There were lengthy discussions yesterday and today between LeMahieu, Boone and Brian Cashman. LeMahieu didn’t ask for his release and is not happy with the outcome.
July 10Jul 10 LeMahieu would make sense at second, but whom would he replace? I can't imagine an Astros team without Hummel or Trammell or Short or Rodgers or Guillorme.

July 10Jul 10 So, if it’s a grade 2 calf strain (and I don’t believe yet that they have any idea it’s not torn or an Achilles) we are looking at 8 weeks. Call it early to mid September if nothing goes wrong i think you have to plan for finishing the year without him. that tells me that we definitely need Chas back at the end of the all star break so we see if we have to fix CF or not. I don’t love Mullins but he plays CF passably (same as Chas) and hits left handed. Hes basically almost a must get at this time. Ideal would be a platoon with he and Chas at LF, but one can play center and one can play left if Meyers, Yordan and Melton all don’t work out and if Altuve gets shifted to 2B in playoffs. probably ideal playoff lineup Peña, Paredes, Altuve, Yordan, Smith, Diaz, Walker, Chas/Melton, Meyers/Mullins PH- Caratini (DH if Yordan is dead of has a hook for a hand by then). PR- Melton if he doesn’t start 3rd catcher- Salazar- never plays, utility/defensive replacement- Dubon this requires one trade for a mediocre dude that nevertheless fits us perfectly, plus Yordan, Chas, Melton, Meyers and Pena to all get healthy. All of their timelines are such that they should easily be healthy by then according to what the team is saying. But, Astros medical staff.
