Peacock in, Fiers out

Still blows my mind that Fiers threw a no hitter can the dodgers less than two years ago. Maybe that psychology degree is screwing with AJ's head. He is stuck in a brain fart loop. 1. Fiers pitched no hitter 2. Start Fiers. 3. Watch Fiers mistake game for batting practice. 4. Remind Fiers that when he goes to the mound it is to pitch a real game. 5. Gain confidence that Fiers knows that he is now pitching a real game. End logic. Start at 1 and write Fiers name on line up card.

 

Did you miss the part where Morton is on the DL?

 

No

 

Then who should start?

 

More of a reference to the rest of the season. Not this particular situation.

 

Stupid Hinch. Manager of the team with the best record in baseball.

 

Might be smart for Houston to trade for a BoR SP to take the pressure off. Right now they are a McCullers/Keuchel injury away from disaster, and they have zero leverage when trying to acquire an ace from another team.

 

Astros can get a bonified starter, if we trade farm stud Derek Fisher, or Kyle Tucker.

 

The same question still applies.

 

Let's see how he does tomorrow. Of course if we score 16 runs we could run Oberholtzer out there and win. Either way fiers is not an MLB starting pitcher at this point

 

Objection! Irrelevant. Just answer the question.
