Lmao...same old Astros. It's hopeless...Danny Valencia is a scrub and he OWNS the Astros...dude was cut earlier this year and he continues to out-produce Springer and any other Astro...and the A's are the WORST team in the American League. I'm actually surprised that there are 25k sadists that are willing to watch this train wreck. It's really painful...but I guess it's part of growing pains....those that say this year will be a success even if missing playoffs...just remember the Rangers had the worst record in AL West last year and they ADD Darvish next season and Twins were last place too...really no excuse for Crane and company not to significantly upgrade the offense (1b, 3b, DH, LF).
Pretty much the whole damn staff throws 90 MPH fastballs. I understand they think there is some math behind it but maybe your backend relievers should throw harder than that.
"we really need another arm in the pen" "Price is too high" "hmmm. for EVERYBODY??" "dunno" "eh. eff it. don't worry bout it then."
i wonder if luhnow regret not trading for chapman now. fields the only guy in the pen that throws hard that's a reliever. (not including velasquez)
Crane was the one who wanted Chapman/Kimbrel from everything I read. This ought to teach Luhnow a lesson, hope he isn't too stubborn to adjust his thought processes.
Absolutely snake bitten team right now. Just 1 win would turn the momentum IMO. They've got to nut up and tie this game in the 9th.
