WTF, how am I just now noticing this. I read this and figured, "surprised a chain of fitness clubs had this kind of scratch". Then I read up and realized they don't, and subsequently learned that the fitness club went out of business 5 years ago. (good riddance, I'm still pissed about how hard it was to cancel a membership there) Turns out it's a casino holding company, not entirely unrelated to the fitness club. Learned a few things this morning. Anyway, f**k the Rangers.
In all fairness, if it is like it used to be and you watch between midnight and 3 pm most days it could be construed as the Bally's Fitness Club channel. Between the informercials and weird fitness shows they used to have on there, I could see the confusion.
No other arms I guess? Not sure why. Although we could have easily put Bielak in there and gotten more out of him maybe.
1. He's already on the 40 man roster. 2. His service time was already manipulated for this season. 3. The only other choices were Solomon and Nivaldo Rodriguez. 4. The bullpen has been used a lot and might need long relief from Bielak or Emanuel who are the only 2 on the current roster that would have taken this spot start. 5. Framber and Odorizzi are taking up starts in AAA on their rehab assignments
Emanuel is available for another 8 2/3. For a long time, the Astros were the only team to lose a no hitter. I think that's changed now.
Along with this ^^^, he's also from the Metropolis-area. So management thought it would be special for him plus he earned it enough.
Doesn't get mentioned enough, even locally... Stros offense is #1 in fewest Strikeouts too... for the ENTIRE season AND previous seasons
