[Official] Astros @ Rays

That Rays logo (burst of sunshine) is terrible

 

How is that a hit?

 

Ump squeezing Urquidy.

 

Nice inning Urquidy.

 

I miss the up the middle hit.

 

Orioles put up a 6 spot on the A's.

 

Fun!

 

Bats can’t buy a hit now. Hope Urquidy stays sharp.

 

Maybe they will let Fiers stay in the rotation after all lol.

 

Intentional walk to get to Alvarez. Brilliant!

 

Turns out it was lol. But not for a lack of hitting.

 

Right side of the infield not doing Urquidy any favors today

 

Working out of a jam. Good!

 

at'em balls are not fun

 

A Kyle Tucker Biography

 

Great start for Urquidy. 16 straight scoreless innings for Astros starters

 

Would anyone have thought we'd still be sitting at 3 runs in the 9th after the first inning?

 

That was a good pitcher that settled down after the first. Astros offense is usually pitiful in this stadium so not shocking.

 

Fangraphs's Kevin Goldstein (formerly of the Astros FO) has Javier and Urquidy as current and future MOR starters and Garcia as a potential solid BOR starter. That's awesome to have three cheap homegrown guys to go along with LMJ and whatever veterans they have moving forward. If Garcia gets knocked into the swing role because Odorizzi gets back to form, i'm totally cool with it.

I agree Bielak and Emanual are probably gonna be solid long relievers.

 

It's like they need an opener or something.
