He's a rookie. He's good. Since he came back from the IL at the end of July he's gone (this is all before tonight): 10GS, 7-3 (team record, 2-3 personal), 55.1IP, 46H, 19ER, 19BB, 47K, 5HR, 3.09ERA, 3.78FIP, .229 .302 .333 .636
I hope we offer TBR fans a refuge next week from a potential major Hurricane. Let's show them how we should have been treated during Harvey. They don't have any games which need to be rescheduled, but they might have an unusually high contingent of fans with them.
Lol. Classic "the sky is falling" reaction after a loss. -as mentioned above, the team is stlil 8-2 in the last 10 and on-pace for 105 wins -can't use the "well if Dusty only played Mancini/Vasquez/Y. Diaz..." line cuz they all started -as mentioned above, it was not the 6-9 hitters fault. the top of the line-up also hit like garbage. This loss is why I laugh at the posts insisting that those playoff roster micro-changes will make a difference (e.g. Brown over Maton for the last spot in the pen or playing Mancini over Gurriel). If the Astros lose, they're gonna lose cuz they didn't hit enough and didn't score enough. More likely than not, them losing is going to be because the 1-5 line-up guys didn't hit enough. More than likely, the Astros will lose because if they run into a starting pitcher absolutely shoving. That's baseball. As a reminder, the Astros have a .656 regular season winning percentage. If they win 58% of their games in the playoffs, they win the World Series. (I.e. they can lose 8 times on the way to victory).
