[Official] Red Sox @ Astros

That's sort of mitigated with all teams less than 1 week removed from a 4-5 day break.

And it really only makes a difference in the bullpen... which is just one good pitching performance (or one bad offensive performance by the opposition) away from being "fully rested."

 

I don't see how Luhnow will be able to keep VV out of a trade. Last start as an Astro?

 

Huh?

I could see them trading Appel before VV.

 

Runners were on-base, though.

BOS also missed a 2-run HR with ball landing 8 feet foul.


Stros can still win. VV looks sharp enough and we're only down 2 with plenty game remaining

 

It's the 3rd ****ing inning.

 

I would think other teams may prefer VV.

 

Johnson keeps throwing that curveball so they should only look for that one pitch he doesn't have much more

 

MarGo was waiting and still couldn't hit it.

 

Its a pretty good curveball though... Barry Zito made a lot of money off just one "great" pitch.

 

Is it just me or is their always an oppossing player that does well against the Astros and always has his family at Minute Made to watch it ?

 

Other teams prefer Correa too... won't make a difference in what the Astros are offering.

 

He hasn't been able to throw it for a strike much at all

 

...and the bats go dead.

 

Yeah but they all ended up in the dirt and he still swung at them

 

I think weve face a few first timers in the big league pitchers and have struggled against all of them, if I remember correctly.

 

Be a good time for someone to delay getting into batters box.

 

ya we gonna lose..i can tell

 

Sure he has.... in fact, its a "better" pitch when it breaks late, out of the zone.

Sure, you can just try standing there daring him to throw strikes... then you end up like Altuve did, or risk getting behind in the count.

 

Hm I guess. Seems like most of them have been way inside and in the dirt or up out of the zone, but the deception is certainly there I suppose.

 

They need to stop putting Gattis in the outfield.
