[Official] Astros vs. Orioles

So basically you must play 1st or OF if you throw left handed. Kind of sucks if that's the lot in life you're given and you're really good at baseball.

 

damn. still no 123 inning for astros in this game.

 

At least there's two outs.

Get #3 quickly

 

I'm slating Chas as our 4th starter. We could use an opener

 

Hah, Tuve's bad baserunning pays off.....

I don't mind him going there though, that was the right time to try that.

DD

 

yup. You would think you could play catcher left handed but its suboptimal for throwing to first and tagging at home

 

in another universe, bases are going clockwise and all the preferred infielders are left-handed.

 

There is no 4th SP, and really Alexander starting game 3 would be a recipe for disaster. Still have 5 weeks to figure it out.

 

**** on the pen all you want but these starters are ****ing us with these 2/3/4 inning starts.

Framber turning into a ****ing MESS hasn’t helped

 

They are hoping for one of McCullers, Javier or Arighetti to figure things out. My bet is still on Javier. As bad as things look, I think he can get in a groove by the end of September.

 

yep. Hence the question. Remember when we were 7 deep? I do...

 

Well this is the real problem. A burned out pen will certainly spell an early exit in the playoffs.

 

framber got the 1st inning yips.

he needs to talk to hunter on how to solve the 1st inning yips.

 

Javier should be SP3. He's proven he can pitch well in the playoffs before.

 

WTF,

ain't no way he stayed on the bag with that throw.

 

Why not challenge? He was off the bag!!

 

McDonalds money

(meaning he can probably afford McDonalds)

 

CF/RF is not that big a problem, anything on the left side is no bueno

Good question.

 

On a positive note we've scored at least 7 runs in 3 straight games.

We haven't done that all year.

 

Both those ground outs were out??
