    This better not be another Carlos Hernandez moment.
    Hopefully espada didn’t **** him up by throwing him back out there

    Redding was a dick so unless you like dicks rubbing you then I can see why you didn’t like him.
    wade miller was awesome when he was on.
    I always thought he would end up with a no hitter someday.
    Dude ****ed the brewers hard lol

    Career 11-2 with 2.98 ERA against the Brewers... he was like TJ Yates against the Bengals but against the Brewers.

    LHP Carlos Hernandez was similar to LHP Johan Santana just unfortunate he slid at 2nd base destroying his shoulder.

    Very Heartbreaking watching Carlos get injured, worst injury I've ever seen ruining his young career, early 2002 I believe, He was throwing 96 mph Fastball before the injury, after his injury barely 88 mph Fastball.

    Carlos Correa breaking his leg sliding into 3rd base was other Heartbreaking Injury, High A Lancaster JetHawks.

    Pitchers should never hit or run, now Rob Manfred did the right thing for once, Pitchers don't hit or run the bases.

    More tragic... Jason Street of the Dillon Panthers not having proper tackle technique when he got paralyzed... rightfully sued coach Eric Taylor

    Ugh...I was at that game, way too close to the field but you might have been able to hear it from a long way away

    Is his son still managing in the Stros system?

    I blame Bloss injury directly on Espada. Shouldn't have brought him back after throwing 38 pitches in an inning. That's malpractice for a young pitcher making his 1st start. Luckily there wasn't any bad damage done to his career. Next up Blubaugh.

    If you go back and watch that game he grabbed his shoulder early either in the 1st or 2nd inning. He was trying to battle through it. I was surprised the Astros didn't catch it when he first grimaced and grabbed his shoulder.

    He was in a tough spot with his bullpen usage.

    BTW, where the heck was Seth Martinez the last 2 series? Just holding him for emergency extra innings?

    Martinez was warmed up in the 3rd inning of the Bloss start. Then he was sat down (and Bloss went out for the 4th because reasons), and never warmed up again. In a game of baffling occurrences, that's near the top of the list.

    If Stanek can disappear, so can Seth.
