He’s a magician with the stick! Really fun to watch. Let’s go win the next 3.. gotta get to these guys early! Manaea is a tough one
I just read that Biggio caught 2 innings in his next to last game. Does anyone have a clip? Why don’t i remember that?!
He is bereaving. Can be back in 3 days. I would guess death in the family, sad to hear, whatever it is.
Yea, I'm not expecting many/any runs from the 'stros given the struggles at home and the quality of Manaea but I'd love to be surprised.
Mantus and Manaea are good but not world beaters. Score some runs. Verlander is well overdue for a W.
"Gerrit will be back," Hinch said. "Obviously, we support him and our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. He lost his grandmother. That's the second [grandparent] this season for him. He'll be away from the team for a couple days, then he'll be back." https://www.mlb.com/astros/news/gerrit-cole-placed-on-bereavement-list/c-285159246 Jake, who never left Houston due to the AAA all-star break, gets the start tonight in CF.
Home game, Verlander pitching, Manaea pitching; that may be a recipe for another shutout. A's are coming into this game with back to back shutouts.
Some of you guys are acting like this is 2013. Sean Manea is good but he's not on Verlander's level. He was very good in April but has been average since.
It's more a reflection of my faith in the Astros home offense vs good pitching. Exactly. Baseball is like that. Where is everybody in the Diamond Club? Haven't seen it that empty in a while.
