    Was surprised we weren’t already hearing one of these names with the Urquidy news. Guess it’s time to bring one of them up or to re-visit that McCullers time-frame

    I heard 3 weeks ago last week, that’s assuming he doesn’t go back on the IL trying to turn the key to open his front door.

    Lol…it’s actually simply from moving his arm back to wipe.

    Thus he’s now gotten a bidet and apparently that will keep the arm intact.

    Time to deploy the Kevin Cash relief starter method.

    Pederson hit a HR in Game 2 at Dodger Stadium, World Series

    Astros won that game, so maybe history repeats itself overall

    The Astros were putting blind faith into thier starters staying healthy this year.

    Sometimes it’s more about who’s due to pitch vs. simply bringing up the best prospect.

    Bielak was due to pitch soon… despite the HR, its very fortunate he was there tonight or this would likely be a messy bullpen game of Blanco, Martinez, Maton… not to mention using high leverage arms in a game they may not be winning.

    He’s also been in this situation before. France/Whitely will get their shot but they’re not going to be thrown into the wolves such as this. They’ll likely go on a set schedule.

    He’ll be back then one pitch and he will be back on IL.

    Astros are in desperate situation this game

    Bielak hasn't pitched horribly today at all

    Bielak is a AAAA pitcher as well as Blanco, Martinez, etc. Depending on guys like that will be tough with the injuries going on with the starters. We'll see how this goes.

    There's a bizarre reference.

    Here is a little suggestion to Bielak from pitching coach @nook…. Don’t throw a fastball hitter three fastballs in the strike zone in a 4 pitch sequence…. At 92 mph. Bad **** happens.

    Bregman needs an off day. He’s having an off season so far.
