    He was standing on the plate. Isn't that even worse?

    He was talking about his pitches. Referring to fast balls as sinkers (even when the gun read 97), saying his sinker is his best pitch when I would say it's probably his curveball. He also criticized McCullers for throwing a curve on a 3-2 count when we all know he does that more than any pitcher in baseball. The play by play guy pretty much called out Darling after he said that.

    Then on top of everything else he (paraphrasing) called Lance a raw, unproven pitcher, and that the Astros have a big weakness having to go with someone like him at the top of the rotation in October.

    Not sure why we didn't challenge that. Altuve had nowhere to go. Catcher made the umps make the call, they didn't.

    The first part is BS, I agree with the 2nd, but like I said everything I've heard has been ok, he was great with Luhnow.

    JAKE!!!!

    Time to bust out the lumber, pronto.

    Lance with his 3rd consecutive <5 IP outing.

    Health could be an issue.

    Wow McCullers is a ****ing dumpster fire. Even worse that he can't keep his cool.

    Definitely will pencil in an L whenever he starts.

    I would send lance down to the minors and get his confidence back up. Something's not right with him.

    If you were going strictly on merit, it's a tough call between him and Hoyt right now.

    Even if all we can get is an expensive #3 level SP, might be worth it at this point.
