This has a 13-12 type game feel to it

Maybe a month ago.

Now? It feels like we're about to get our doors blown off again.

No, but it would bump him down to #5 and he'd be the one being skipped over the next week and the one going to the pen or off the roster in the playoffs.

Our past offseason is starting to look really, really bad.*

* Overreaction, but dammit we need pitching.

We should have held on to Morton. Or even Keuchel. 

The Astros offered Keuchel a multi year offer before last season. The qualifying offer before this season was reasonable.

That's why you need 2. Relying on failed starting pitchers like McHugh and Peacock was not a sound decision.

Nope.

It's a real shame Josh James hasn't learn how to pitch. He could be a star. 

I was fine with replacing Keuchel with Miley. 

But every single one of us thought that they should sign Morton. We weren't willing to pay as much as Tampa fucking Bay. 

A JV/Cole/Morton/Miley/Peacock rotation would have been solid.

They got spooked when he broke down at the end of last season. 

Well the batters can chip in a bit and fucking score some run now please.

I know I've bitched about this before, but we also don't really develop starting pitchers. James has been a gas can. Martin was a gas can. Valdez is really inconsistent, but generally struggles with control. Perez has sucked. Fuck, they all struggle with control. Whitley has been bad, Bukauskas has been bad. Martes was bad and then hurt and suspended. Starting pitcher development has been a clusterfuck since McCullers came up in 2015.

I don't claim to know what the problem is, but pretty much all of our top-tier pitching prospects since 2015 have walked way too many hitter and have generally been hot garbage at the MLB level (if they even made it there). Appel, Martes, James, Martin, while Whitley and Bukauskas walk 6 batters/9 innings in the fucking minors. 

My Houston-fandom mindset already has me preparing to expect them to fall behind the Rangers by the all star break.

Start the 2019 offseason thread !

People that can’t read their ticket should be shot during the 7th inning stretch 

some old man was ready to kick my ass for being in his seat, he was one section off. I told him to go fuck himself and buy some glasses

What’s the record for consecutive hit batsmen ?

The Major League Baseball (MLB) record for a pitcher hitting the most consecutive batters is 3, most recently by Javier Vasquez (Puerto Rico), who while pitching for the New York Yankees (USA) hit three consecutive Tampa Bay Rays (USA) batters in the seventh inning of a 10-3 loss at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York (USA) on 23 September 2010. The other pitchers eight pitchers who hit 3 consecutive batters are: Dock Ellis, Pink Hawley, Earl Hamilton, C.J. Nitkowski, Steve Sparks, Walter Thornton, Jeff Weaver, and Wilbur Wood.

Home games don’t count

 

also Straw needs to steal home

i predicted 18-15 in those 33 games before the asb.

i felt like an asshole then and i feel like an asshole now.

they probably count more.  We are "supposed" to lose the majority of games on the road....not at home.  

Quit going to games....everyone.  Everyone quit going forever.  

Every time I look up at the tv someone is trotting to home. JFC we are fucking bad right now.

So you're telling me Cy Sneed isn't as good as Cy Young....shocked
