2025 Season Astros General Discussion Thread

Well you got your wish now 5-2 in the 9th, with Mariners on 1st and 2nd with no one out, and the Os with a pitcher with a 4.70 ERA on the mound. I would have taken the L for the Mariners...on a rain out....heheh.

Edit - 1 out now still guys on 1 and 2.

Edit two - Walked the bases loaded......wtf Baltimore, don't you have a closer? Top of lineup up now.

Edit three - scored a run on a FC, but then got the 3rd out Baltimore wins 5-3.

Astros up 1.5 games on the Mariners - two in the loss column.

POS being point of sale...? He looked so promising in spring training.

 

Well the Astros completely fumbled the easy part of its schedule... the win percentage against the As, Rockies, Nationals, Guardians was inexcusable.

 

Mariners lose

Astros up 1.5

 

Game over... limited get-away day... they won't get into Houston until at least 11 p.m. now.

 

(almost every thread is discussing the Mariners... thus this is going in all of them. Again, not a jinx!)

 

and then he gave up 3 runs in the 4th

 

Bullpen for him then. I honestly thought career ender considering it was a major shoulder injury...

 

No, he's a AAAA guy who will be in Sugar Land's rotation until a 40 man spot is needed and he's DFA'd

 

I think he could be an innings eater, IMO not a starter but he does have value

 

What do you think of Gordon, France and Gordon are basically the same pitchers except one throws left and the other throws right. Both have value as 6 inning 3-4 run inning eating SP's as 6th or 7th SP's on a team as good depth options. There's value in that.

 

One time through the order long relief/tandem guy. Astros need to cobble together 9 innings of pitching with as few pitchers as possible in order to avoid overuse of the thin bullpen. Anybody that can go multiple innings effectively needs a shot.

 

We are getting healthy, will have 3 plus starting pitchers guys that would be 1 or 2 in a starting lineup....

Brown - Ace
Framber - Ace
Javier - Solid number 2
Arrighetti - Solid number 3 up and coming
McCullers - Number 4
Garcia - Solid number 3
Walter - Number 4
Alexander - Long relief/Emergency starter
France - Emergency starter

So That is solid.....

Then we get back the Made of Glass man Alvarez, and Meyers should be next week, and we are ready to make a run.

Health, velo, and control will dictate the rest of this season for Lance… as well as the rest of his career. I didn’t really buy the blister thing. Hopefully they got in the lab and tried to figure some things out.

 

My first reaction is that the greatest value of 11 through 14 would be to trade them for young prospects in the upcoming off season. Then I remember the injuries we had over the last year and I think we gotta find some more pitchers.
