hunter brown got knocked around after being snubbed of the pitcher of the month award. blanco looking like to suffer the same fate after being snubbed of all-star
He's in desperate need of some skipped starts. Bloss should return soon, among others -- but Astros gotta get there first, and games aren't stopping. Blanco needs to be limited to 5 innings, immediately. Espada must throw the longer relievers more "long-ly" -- it saves their warming for 2x for two innings. Instead they're warmup 1x time for two innings. This could also save Hader 1 game/week. He needs it. Abreu and Pressly can close games if need be.
He’s regressing to the pitcher he likely is…still good and a solid contributor but he’s not a sub 3 ERA guy. His FIP is above 4.
