While no one in the front office would dare say it, maybe they want one more top 3 pick ??? Carter has to be the next casualty. A free agent DH signing for a veteran is solely needed. At catcher, I would trade Corporan for minor league assets and sign a catcher that can hit the ball. If he out performs Castro, so be it.
Man what a play!! Had to maintain concentration with Dominguez in front. Awesome Play!! And hitting!!!
Trout went down and got that one!!.... 0-2 pitch too, damn. Awesome player. Tough luck for Sipp making a good pitch. 5 game losing streak.. damn.
Some of those plays he made... dayum. Where's this guy been all year with Villar struggling so badly?
We have been bad a lot lately. But even when we have been pretty good, like last night, we still lost. Tough stretch lately. But there are individual story lines that are quite optimistic. Kike anyone? Altuve? I hold to my earlier season thought that we will have a top 5 pick in 2015. Our pace after last night is a 66-96 season.
3 poor starts in a row for Keuchel. Last night obviously was on long rest and possibly not healthy. Hope that was part of it. Really hope that this season is a new Keuchel, not just a great stretch of games and he is returning back to his previous level. Even as a legit #3 starter we have something there. Will feel a lot better if he throws well against a bad Rangers team next week
Despite the hoopla, I never saw Keuchel as a 16 or 17 win pitcher. We will be lucky if any starter totals 13 wins this year.
