Bregman keeping the offense afloat is a big reason the Astros are not dead and buried yet. Don't see anything special about Paulino's stuff so far. So-so fastball, not good control, etc.
Paulino, Martes, Musgrove.... They're not all going to be top of rotation-like starters. Unfortunately, the time to trade just one of them for something useful now may have come and gone.
Maybe he can.... If he only throws one inning at a time and let's it all hang out. Doesn't really matter if he has no clue where it's going to go.
Can we play this game under protest? They can't just decide to have 2 runs score. That makes no sense at all????
How can you make that call? If you don't see it then you just continue the at bat. If you make this terrible decision then you reward someone 2 runs off of nothing.
Not sure why it wouldn't be... But of course there's some obscure rule that it's not. (But you can review if a ball hits a player, or if a bat hits a glove, or any other minuscule aspect of a game.... But not something that leads to 3 runs?)
This isn't fair. Hinch shouldn't have left field. Even Indians announcers are absolutely appalled by this.
