wow. terrible. strikeout, passed ball, Conger holds on to it too long, hits the batter, then run scores

lol...Luhnow must be thinking, "man would've been nice to have gotten Carlos Rodon, too bad he wasn't avai..." oh wait
Tropeano came up for a good start with the Angels, but has been pretty weak in AAA this year - 5.11 ERA and 1.41 WHIP.
why not. he was pretty much the favorite #1 guy from the last few drafts. guy made it up to the big leagues in 1 year. throws 96 mph +. The Astros lost out on Aiken due to injury/contract issues and is going into the draft this year with 2 picks but no favorites--especially on the pitching front. On top of that, our #3 pitcher went on the DL, our slated #4 pitcher is coming off the DL, and the #5 is a big question mark. Pretty sure Luhnow wouldn't mind slotting in Rodon right about now. Just sayin
Yeah you're right they have no bearing in the outcome of a game so why should fans care if they suck?
