Montero has been on suckage recently -- and last season overall. Luhnow would *not* have re-signed his re-sign at the same money. Lawd have mercy on the post-Jeff Astros. 2019 still urks me.
Gonna see Mushinski come up for Hernandez after tonight. He’s the only fresh arm on the 40 man other than Contreras, who can’t come up because he was just sent down.
If the Astros lose this game...good lord, heads need to roll. Even if they hold on for the win, this is just an embarrassing performance by the bullpen, with Espada's poor BP management making matters even worse.
Throws 37? pitches in a looooong 3rd inning. Espada inexplicably sends him back out (he had Martinez warmed up but then sat him down, for the rest of the game, which is also inexplicable) He noticeably grimaces on a K Next batter he throws a 90mph FB on the 3rd pitch and immediately grabs/points at his shoulder.
