My god we need Keuchel and McCullers to return. Fiers has been lights out lately. Martes is solid. Make that deal for an ace Luhnow... Lol.
Well, some of these pitchers are weeding themselves out when the roster is at full strength. Been a while since the team has been beat down like this.
It's flat out ridiculous that these young guys can't just get through 5 innings. The bullpen is completely overused, and Hinch has the worst timing for when to switch guys out. Musgrove should have been left out there for 5 today bc **** using the bullpen for 5+ innings again. SCREW his stupid ERA, it's well over 5 anyway. We have to have SOMEBODY in the minors that isn't such a trashbag as this dude has been...ridiculous.
They don't have a position player to pitch in a game like this??? A position player would probably do a better job than Sipp at this point.
In the 1st inning or so I saw the Rays were beating the Orioles 15 to 5 and I thought it's been a long time since I've seen a team put something like that on the Astros. Musgrove must have thought the exact same thing. With McCullers back there's no reason for Musgrove to be in the rotation after yesterday. I'd rather see Martes and Paulino until the other guys get back.
Kevin Esh is torture to listen to during these late West coast games. Putting the whole forum to sleep.
I'm about as done with Eschenfelder as I am with Musgrove. Both are clearly out of their depth, and don't belong at this level yet.
