    Lunhow better start warming the Rolodex. Starting pitching isn’t World Series material except for Verlander. Also looks like we don’t have d*** in the minors waiting in the wings with Whitley throwing whiffle balls. How is JB doing.

    It's nice to know there's one franchise in Houston that when you hear a big name, there's an actual chance we get him. Odd feeling for sure, but a damned good one.

    Yeah, we’re gonna have to add a big name arm before the deadline.

    Man, bring on the robots, these umps are so bad for both teams. No consistency. I’m just over it. The squeeze on JJ last night was epic by the umps, way to influence. I’m over the umps rearranging the strike zone every night

    I like Blum. I do still miss JD though.

    Jesus, get him out.. Our pitching is horrible... and our offense has gone pretty cold this series.

    Cole's bad outing hurts even more. With this weak rotation, we at minimum need our Top 2 performing.

    Agreed, obviously he’s not quite ready for prime time but if we could get our average run production going he may be fine and relaxed but no Springer and to a lesser degree this year no Altuve is starting to show what it does to us

    You'll always have the Mother's Day start, Corbin.

    The good thing about this, and we knew it was most-likely a given is the rotation weakness was fully exposed and it’s a must move to pick up a 1 or a 2 if we want to “take it back”

    Valdez instills zero confidence. Maybe he shocks the world.

    Offense not scoring runs. Pitchers giving up runs.

    To be fair, he's literally the 25th man on the roster. He's not supposed to instill a lot of confidence. He's probably still better than the 13th pitcher on any other team.

    Thanks, Jake.

    Valdez had the gas can and lit match ready.

    Brantley is batting. 300+ with two strikes this season -- major league average is .167
