[Official] Cardinals @ Astros

I was trying to be positive

I’ll say 70-92.

 

Perhaps we should have kept Framber? lol

 

An innings eater that can dominate, but suffers from time bombs. That’s better than anything they’ve got.

 

I had Framber fatigue

 

Framber wasn't in their plans of budgeting and losing

 

Pitching staff has a 6.15 ERA. The worst in MLB.

A .262 team batting average. 3rd best in MLB.

A 6.15 team ERA…..no chance.

 

It’s interesting that Burrows was traded after Murphy arrived in Pittsburgh. Curious if had input on the trade and if he signed off on it

 

Interesting:

Vazquez and Allen starting back to back games.

Paredes starting after his leg issue last night.

 

Looks like Yainer has possibly played himself out of the starting job.

 

I’m not sure I’m buying the leg issue. There’s no way it was bad enough he couldn’t bat last night in a critical AB and then today he’s well enough to play.

 

Correct

 

I don't think that's really true. It could have just been a tweak or something that felt scary but wasn't actually a big deal. In the moment, you don't take the chance. Today he's DHing, so that indicates they are at least trying to be a little careful. If he doesn't feel good, it's also much easier to sub out a DH without any real disruption.

 

Correa does not want to play SS everyday. Diaz isn't hitting well enough (or catching well enough) to be the everyday C right now.

Paredes' leg is being held together with glue... and is one over-extension away from being torn again... but they need him to hit.

 

1st 2 things we know

3rd thing we don’t

 

still waiting for paredes to turn up

it's only april and i'm sick and tired of nick allen already

are there even any houston nick allen fans out there?

 

Well, I do root for him to do well for the Astros.

 

Hits the first batter

 

great. more bases gifting

i hate this pitching staff so much

 

Hits the 2nd batter
