    Pretty impressive against the RH hitters.

    I think Dusty is who we thought he was - a relic who has no business managing in today’s game. Obviously the Verlander news is more consequential for the Astros’ season but what a frustrating decision by Crane to hire this guy.

    JV is gone
    Zack is tired (maybe needed more time to ramp up for the season)
    McCullers coming back from TJ himself
    and searching for another guy, anybody, somebody...

    Greeeaaaaaatttt! :)

    Had a feeling that's what it was, or maybe it was just me praying.

    I think he'll be fine. Just need a few of our young guys to -really- step up.

    Be prepared for JV never being healthy again. He wasn't healthy in April to open the season. Now, he's injured worse after only one start.

    Javier has my bet, but a lot of different choices.

    Besides McCullers & Greinke... you just wait til you're busting out the [wheelsfallingoff.jpg] pics again. :D

    Man if only we could have gotten Zack Wheeler. He's wasted going to the Phillies.

    We can make playoffs without being at full strength with expanded postseason. Alvarez and Urquidy come back... Verlander comes back.... out young arms get some seasoning.... and we go for the kill come playoff time.

    We will make playoffs.
    We will crawl in..... but if we are healthy and get hot. Watch out. Verlander needs to be healthy for this to happen. Greinke will be in shape by playoff time.

    Not worried about him. Last year he had great numbers overall despite a rough first outing. He just needs time to make up for the pandemic-shortened ST. JV though :(

    I expect half our starting offense to be injured by the 30 game mark. ;)
