Fuckin a Urquidy!! Best outing from a starter we’ve had in a while. Hopefully, we saw a breakthrough and not an outlier tonight. Well done.

Choo just had to stroke one out for a homer. Because Astros killer.

And I can't believe they didn't DFA Kyle Bird after what we did to him last week.

FINISH HIM!!

Very happy for Urquidy tonight.  Man.

Definitely! Rangers may be a bit Urq’d about it though, which is a good thing.

Didn’t realize Altuve gets a day off on his debut anniversary.

Revisiting this post after considering his night. It really is cool to see a guy reach the highest point to date in his chosen profession. How he must feel right now. Hopefully, he’s raised his personal bar for his future and can keep it up. 

Urquidy, Devo, and Rondon combine for a 2 hitter.  Who didn't see that coming?

Any chance you'd sell it? 

Nope lol. You can find them for sale in astros bobblehead groups on facebook.

On the field after the game

Diaz got hbp was about all.

I must have missed this yesterday. Abreu has the best curveball of Astros minor leaguers. He is also on the 40 man roster.

 

Astros: Bryan Abreu, RHP (No. 7) -- 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K (Double-A Corpus Christi)
In his past two outings, Abreu has been deployed alongside fellow Astros prospect Cristian Javier as a "piggyback" starter, a setup in which each works about half of the game on the mound. Last time out it was Javier who stole the show, and Friday it was Abreu. The solid outing was a sight for sore eyes among Hooks fans, as Abreu had been struggling mightily over his past four appearances, allowing multiple earned runs each time. Friday's four innings marked his first appearance of any length this season without a walk, and only his third scoreless trip to the mound in 2019.

throw enough young arms against the wall and eventually a couple will stick 

whitley's failure and martin's injury really hurt 

Edited by tx 3 putt

Too early to consider Whitley a failure.

There is cause for concern, but he is still really young (third youngest in AAA at the beginning of the season) and hasn't pitched enough innings to make a final determination.

George sits today.

I’m really surprised, after hanging on to him for ~4 months, they cut bait with White when they did and didn’t find a way to hold on to him for 6-7 more days. Basically forces Straw to be our everyday shortstop for at least a week.

Luhnow pregame comments should be interesting today.

Not career failure but yet again, his season is a failure 

I really don’t know about trading tucker for Stroman. Y’all realize that stroman is about as tall as Altuve ? Not enough return on that trade 

Stroman’s most recent start had a ton of scouts in the stands. Someone is making a move for him 

Straw is young and hungry, playing 7 days straight won’t kill him. They’re showcasing him

I’m not taking about Straw’s ability to play everyday but that’s fair.
I just mean it’s not ideal from a “give your team it’s best chance to win every day.”
Although I suppose it’s not any worse than the alternative of Straw on the bench/ OF and White at first

They had to bring up a starting pitcher. With the recent terrible outings from replacements, they needed to keep the bullpen numbers intact. I expect Diaz to be back tomorrow so Straw won’t need to play SS after today.

How many more years is Jake under team control? I see he has an arbitration year in 2020. 

Straw is younger, cheaper, and plays more positions. Jake has better pop though.

Is that true on Diaz?
I didn’t realize they were that close with him.
That changes everything I said

yes, diaz should be back tomorrow. he's riding back from CC with Scraps

I like Boyd a lot, but the Astros should be able put together a package for him that doesn't include Whitley and Tucker. 

He’s going to be very expensive. Under arbitration control for 3 more years. It was rumored a few weeks back that they were asking for Gleyber Torres from the Yankees. He’d cost Whitley or Tucker plus others.
