    Hey, are you trying to kill the guy? His arm can't handle that...

    Needs to throw underhand....

    Whitley has been an absolute zero for The Astros, but it’s always a little unnerving when The Rays show interest given their track record

    Whitley still has the tools. His issue are injuries and what's in between the ears. This a low risk high reward with Whitley.

    I think Forrest Whitley will Start. Don't know when but as long as Forrest Whitley improves and listens to Staff he will get better, along with maybe working out differently, so Forrest can be injury free.

    Learning new things from Coaches and Analytics Staff.

    Came into the 9th down 2, Gave up 6 straight hits, giving up 5er and counting, couldnt record an out. I needed a save from Will Vest for Detroit and Whitley screwed that all up. Thanks dood.

    Looking at gameday and he did not throw a ball faster than 89 mph and was getting hammered on his cutter. I don't know what they had him try to do. Weird AF

    Yeah, it was weird to watch. He threw 1 sinker at 96 and Torkelson doubled

    I really didnt pay attention to his pitch types as I was doing stuff but it was raining pretty hard, so there was that.

    Whitley pitched the cycle! (Looks like they screwed him putting him out in the rain)
    • "Forrest Whitley faces 6 Tigers hitters and allows 2 singles, 2 doubles, a triple, and a home run on course for 5+ ER in 0.0 IP before the rain delay"

    Dude is cursed. I don't believe in curses, at least I didn't before Forrest Whitley came along.

    Maybe if I like him, my curse can cause a curse collision and lead to the opposite?

    Worth a shot....

    I love me some Whitley.

    I don't believe in them, I find it funny and dumb, but I know some like it so, meh, play along for fun.

    Truth is, I see stuff way before most and I speak on it, and folks get butt hurt call it a curse etc, until much later when what I said becomes obvious..

    Jalen Green is another example...but whatever...call it a curse.

    He's a mental midget. Great stuff but he'll never put it together

    I feel bad for Whitley. I really do.

    I wonder if he would dominate the mexican league.
