Give them another 70 years without a title then I will agree.

I wonder if we can find a way for Strom to download his brain into Verlander's and let JV take over as pitching coach when Strom decides to call it a day and Verlander retires?  Because that would be pretty cool to keep JV around the organization for as long as possible.

Guys with Verlander type money, even if they would be really good at it, aren't going to want to do the every day baseball thing for 8 months out of the year.  It is a grind.   See also, Carlos Beltran.

I will settle for naming him the Assistant Special Advisor for Pitching, reporting directly to Nolan Ryan.  Just keep him near / in the organization to offer advice to the generation of young pitchers that come up after Whitley and Bukauskas.

Million bucks a year, free Diamond Club seats and front row valet parking.  I think it gets the deal done.

 

Matchups for this weekend. 

Fri: Collin McHugh vs. Frankie Montas

Sat: Wade Miley vs. Aaron Brooks

Unless you think everyone collectively forgot how to hit, never.

Bregman's BABIP in 2018: .289

Bregman's BABIP in 2019: .083

Altuve's BABIP in 2018: .352

Altuve's BABIP in 2019: .143

Things will normalize. The runs will come. 

It wasn't until mid May / early June before we really kicked it in gear with the bats last year.  Most of that was due to Marwin going on a mini-tear and Bregman and Oso Blanco setting new club records for RBI's in a month last June. Thankfully Bregman kept getting better to pick up the slack for all the injuries.

Hard to imagine what we could have done last year if Correa didn't get hurt (big shock) in late June.  Hell, we still won 104 regular season games but the playoffs could have been a lot different.

And Altuve was playing on one leg. 

I know it's cool to hate on Josh, but damn that top 7.

I like Josh's defense.  He can be half-ass decent at the plate at times so I'm not going to hate on him unless he goes through one of those 2017 playoff streaks where he's something like 0-21 and about 16 HIDP.  So far in 10 AB he's only hit into 1 double play so that's... well... not overly shitty.  Of course that rate might be higher if we actually had base runners.

I hate seeing guys get hit in the hand ever since Bagwell

Double steal!  Number one for George, now ahead of McCann probably

i like this george springer kid... he'll go far in the league

That Correa kid is pretty good too

He's off to a nice start.  Last year he was down to about league average after a career year in 2017.  I'm hoping he can bounce back to somewhere in between this year.

That AB went way better than I was thinking after 2 pitches

Lulz, that's a 3-0 swing.  Contact would be nice though.

DDJ is a definite green light

Obviously not the outcome we wanted, but solid AB by Brantley

Verlander doesn't seem sharp so far

Good timing.

4 walks for this staff coming into the game, 2 walks this inning

Good to come out of that inning tied all things considered. Probably going to need a couple inning from James tonight.

Yeah but on the bright side he's also leaving his fastball up

So many LOB

 

 

 

 

is this the boringest game ever or am i just too sober?

 

That second inning was brutal

7 LOB through 3, furk
