everything great about the astros, they are not any longer. great ERA for SP, no more. great defensive team, no more. clutch hitting, no more.
Astros can still win, need Urquidy to simmer the hell down and get a couple more innings in, keep Javier out of the game and start chipping away on O.
He doesn’t have enough pitching. No JV. No Cole. No Lance. No Morton. For what it’s worth no Grienke. Weak starting staff against this offense. No chance.
Sometimes in baseball, some postseason teams catch fire and ride it all the way through. Too early for all that though. Very concerned right now though.
This whole crap-tastrophe is on Jim Crane. Pitching has been this team’s Achilles heel for years. In 2019, our bullpen was garbage. Now our starting pitching is trash. I have always lived by the motto that owners owe it to fans to spend money and not care about profit because the stadiums and other attachments are all public funded. If you want to run this team like an actual business, then give us our money back and the city can charge you market rent for use of the facilities. Crane needs to stop being cheap. If he cannot afford to spend the cash, then sell it to someone who has the money.
Urquidy was not getting any outside calls, but you have to wonder if he was tipping pitches. They were laying off lots of close pitches and not missing anything in the zone.
Whelp. At least it happened in the 2nd and not the 9th... Now I know better than to sit on the couch watching this with my full attention vs having it on in the background....
There is absolutely no way that our starting pitching is THIS bad in every game for the first 2 innings
can we get a nuetral broadcasting team this is insane the last 2 series it feels like wainwright and amin were againist us in the white sox series now smoltz is againist and is rooting for red sox in this series
I don't care how bad you pitch, but don't walk people. That's inexcusable. If they beat us hitting the ball that's at least sufferable.
