call it a night make it another save the bullpen game, win the series tomorrow and sunday. and someone in the astros add some paint to that star in centerfield it's hideous. the one thing to take, minute maid looks even better with a full house. full attendance.
Was a desperate move bringing up Martes obviously. He doesn't look ready but team can't do any better right now unfortunately.
Crap debut by Martes. He's still not out of the 7th. Stros in a tough situation with FOUR damn starters down. When has that ever happened in franchise history.. any franchise?
Shockingly, he's less fat than a video shown last night on Roots. Progress on the scale. Mound, next.
Unfortunate that Peacock crashed in this one, always tough to win games where a starter simply sucks. Good chance to get Martes out there, but he clearly has things to work on. Control hasn't been there. At least we got that first appearance out of the way.
Biggest positive tonight might be the bully getting rest. With Fiers pitching well his last 3 of 4 outings, Stros are in great position to quickly flip the recent lull.
the most cringe worthy game I've seen since 2014, though the twins game last season where the rain gods saved us, is a second close. Maybin stealing 4 bases ugh. Usually after big win streaks there is a lull but the home and away differences is really a thing. Bounce back tomorrow.
Ok. Nolasco is 2-6 with a 5.05 and he is going against what is now our 2nd best active starting pitcher tomorrow. If we don't pound runs on this guy then it is official. The bats have cooled. Better be 1-1 at COB tomorrow.
Trash? No "Trash"? Yes compared to the road This year's overall roster-results = championship favorite Time will tell how everything plays out.
Didn't the cubbies have a 5-15 stretch last year? It's a long season. But after getting kicked in the sack by harden and the rox in game 5/6 I am a little fun shy on faith.
