    Meyers sucks so hard. It’s getting a bit silly now.

    Jake doesn’t need to be up right now with Astros.

    At least he makes up for it somewhat with his stellar defense.....

    Shockingly the inning where Lance threw all curveballs he took 10 pitches to dominate. The prior inning he threw no curveballs and every ball was hard hit.

    I don’t have access the Astros’ supercomputer, but I have a guess about pitch mix effectiveness.

    Seriously, if the split is that extreme, maybe he really does need to go into relief for the playoffs where he can just let the CB fly for two unhittable innings.

    So Lance somehow has an ERA of 0.00 in his two home starts. Lance might need to be the game 2 starter in playoff series with home field advantage so he can start at home.

    I was just about to post a similar thought, that they must have been handed the WRONG scouting report.

    If either the case, I hope they are reading it now.

    Can we bring Karl "Tuffy" Rhodes out of retirement to play for Jake?

    Poor Jake. Just hasn't been the same since that late year injury.

    Is my memory failing me, because I seem to remember him mashing before then. Serviceable anyway.

    I think Tucker thought that ball was hit harder than it was.
