You tell me. One night I was talking to her on the phone while she did a “Target pick-up”. Out of nowhere I hear some deep voice say “front or back door ma’am?” Then she says “The front’s fine” and I was like “what the hell is going on here??!!
Nope. At least this year Melton should not start vs a lefty. Need to hold on to Meyers. Let him slowly get used to lefties by facing relief pitchers and then give him some starts next year or if Meyers turns into 2024 2nd half Meyers, or gets hurt.
Without looking, I think he has like 29 home runs in AAA already. Legend has it he still flips his bat on walks to this day
He needs to work on having better stuff. Either that or being perfect with what he has. Meaning- go back to my original take- he ain’t it.
Eh- Chas is plenty good enough to start against LHP. If not him then Dubon is fine too (typing that sentence was almost painful).
I am sick and tired of the front office just flat out lying.......this goes back to Tucker and beyond his injury, I get you don't want to tip your hand, but this injury was so much worse than they said, now it's a fracture and its 60% healed.............like WTF, you had him out there hitting. Between the Texans and Astros, I don't believe a word that comes out of their mouths..................now CJ has a shoulder issue, why not just say that it's not a big deal, the cover up is always worse than the lie
This is the first time I have felt they weren't just lying - they were incompetent. I have been as frustrated as anyone about their complete disregard for transparency, but I assumed that at least THEY knew what was happening. But to have him hitting before ordering an MRI is malpractice. They have lost all benefit of the doubt. Honestly, the training staff needs to go - they have been here through 3 GMs and 3 coaches -- they are the constant, and they are failing. Perhaps just this one is a failure and they handled everything else perfectly behind the scenes, but: a) this is the franchise hitter, b) why should anyone believe them?
I'm glad I didn't post stuff for Sunday's game because most of the time if a team scores 30+ runs in a series that should be winning a series. I was going to say Rays have Hunter's number and Hader won't be used the whole series. For past seasons, the Stros sucked at home in regular seasons and post seasons. This season it is different already. I still cant fathom Rays could of have Wander Franco and Junior Caminero on the same team. I know the Rays will feel they should of won the Series, they going to look back we have Framber and Hunter, they don't.
Sometimes all you need is two dominant starting pitchers…. Win their matchups and you win any series (see 2019 Nationals).
If (HUGE if) McCullers is healthy come playoff time, there’s a chance he could be a pretty dominant arm for 3-4 innings as a Game 3 SP, since at that point we can assume he’d take the gloves off and be willing to throw almost all curves. And cobbling together Game 4 with bullpen arms is feasible with the extra days off. Houston does need to add an arm but it doesn’t need to be a ToR guy.
Myles Straw was hitting .262 slugging .326 2 HR and 34 RBI and a 1.5 bWAR after 98 games when Click sent him to Cleveland. Meyers is hitting .292 slugging .404 3 HR and 16 RBI with a 1.3 bWAR in 57 games so far this season. If Brown can find another Maton and Yainer then trade him.
Patrick Corbin got the win in relief in Game 7 - he finished 11th in Cy Young voting that season (and 5th the year before). He dropped off quick after but in 2019, he was a legit ToR starter. I don't think we need a Corbin, but we could really use a decent MoR guy who can give innings with an ERA+ anywhere above 100.
They are adding a TOR arm named Arrighetti. we could bullpen the **** out of other teams starting in game 3 and I wouldn’t be the least bit concerned. Especially if you have Javier, Garcia as part of that bullpen game. You need like 8 good arms in the post season. Even as best up as we are we have more than that.
