I haven’t hated Seattle this much since the Kemp / Payton Sonics. I don’t even know why I hate Seattle. Haha.
Or Detlef Schrempf and Nate McMillen. Keuchel said something at the beginning of the season that he added more muscle, which I think is a mistake that a lot of pitchers make because in some cases the extra muscle seems to throw off their mechanics, that may be why Keuchel has been in trouble a lot this season. Can't be mad at the Mariners, they're teeing off on bad pitching. Tell Keuchel to quit throwing BP.
I'd like the postseason OF to be: Springer, Reddick, Tucker, plus Straw replacing Jake if he's ready. Use Marwin as more of a replacement infielder.
I said to myself Dallas would give up 2 hits in the first inning. Boy was I off. His performance is as predictable as Jake striking out and Correa taking pitches down the middle only to K on a ball down and away
3 years ago and four days from now, Carlos Correa would have his first hit as a major leaguer. It's time. This team needs a shot in the arm. All roads lead to Ted! TK basically saying when dallas hasn't been giving up home runs and hits, he's been good! Big fan of dallas but even I can't defend his last handful of starts.
Long season. But the further we get along the more it is clear the same magic isn't there. I still think we are the team to beat in the west, but the other teams didn't get that memo. We will be down 3 in the loss column after tonight and this season is no longer young.
This game is so bad that Todd and Geoff have completely checked out. Talking about their phones. It's kind of hilarious.
Astros SOS has been ridiculous. They will clean up this month, especially when Reddick and McCann get back.
According to Team Rankings, the Astros are 23rd worst in MLB in both GIDP and LOB per game. https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/grounded-into-double-plays-per-game https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/runners-left-in-scoring-position-per-game And, Jake's not going to survive with the Astros to the end of season, I suspect.
