Be back next year!

I want you, all my die-hards to take note:

Do not be influenced by this crapola you read about our bullpen "competing with the Yankees"

We're better than them right now, head to feet when it comes to arms. Lowest bullpen ERA in the game, and while they may be slightly ahead in xWHIP or a couple other stats, there isn't any dire need for another arm in there.

Why would we bring in a guy that would make our bullpen ERA go up??

Springer

Wearing a different necklace
Using Altuves signature Victus bat

I think this dude is getting doing whatever he thinks will get him out of his funk. He did have a good rip last night.

Tucker got a hit in his debut. Astros are undefeated since Tucker joined the team.

I must say that the Diamond Club is a check off on the Bucket List....

it was everything we hoped it would be.... First class beginning to end....

my only regret was that I got the Sauted Rainbow Chard and didn't have enough room for a second Grilled Lobster Tail with Creamy Garlic and Butter Sauce, OR the Brown Sugar and Bacon Gniocchi.... Moroccan crusted flank stake was superb as were the Garlic and Leek Mashed Potatoes....

they also had Hot Dogs with Chili and Cheese and Pizza..... Not to mention a rack of Cracker Jack, Popcorn, Peanuts. Cotton Candy and Water, as much as you want

the only thing not covered by the ticket was the booze....not a top flight bar selection but good enough.... and honestly the prices weren't more than you would pay on the concourse

Cause he gave up 1 run/1hit/0 BB in a game where the offense put up 0?

Kept the other team from scoring more often than not, hes 3-1 on the year. Only given up 12 runs in 26 games that hes played in. Also has a better WHIP than Rondon and Harris. But they've played in more games.

I was actually surprised by his WHIP. Idk, he's gotten his ERA down a bit. Seems like he gives up runs every time I watch him pitch.

Baseball is strange like that.

Conversely, I could have swore Peacock didn't take an L last year because every time I watched him he dealt the cold grip of death.

The finest game, and the strangest as well.

Nothing really. His numbers suggest he's only slightly worse than last year. Which is still good.

Yea, y'all said that last year too.

don't know who Y'all is bucko

I never said a bad word about our offense last year. The only down time I remember from last year was the 6 weeks when Correa was out right before we got Verlander.

there have been too many games....all at home... where we were lost at the plate. We've been 1 hit and 2 hit this year.... you talked about the 12 v the horrible White Sox but we followed that up with 2.... another shut out last night....

this doesn't happen to this team on the road.

Cry me a river.

1999 Yankees got no-hit twice in their own house.

You just sound silly griping about the best team in the league. The RedSox got no-hit in their own house earlier this year. Yankees got shut out by the ****ty Mets this year. That's just how baseball go.

shutouts through 93 games 2017 - 2 2018 - 6
1 run scored through 93 games 2017 - 6 2018 - 12


to be clear, I'm not griping.... I think it's cool that we have the second best record in all of the MLB without really playing our best yet....

our team ERA is a full run lower this year than last.... when we start hitting this team is capable of going on a 30-3 streak

In the meantime,

McCann
Marwin
Correa

Hurt.

no doubt.... I was going to mention that 93 games was before Correa got hurt last year and after he got hurt this year....

Marwin you knew was going to regress to the mean this year.... still the most versatile player in baseball and he has a knack for coming up with the game changer

I love McCann but Stassi has filled in nicely...

Don't think that I don't know how good this team is.... This team is the team no one wants to see in October/November

Aight then.

Btw, I really wonder why Verlander doesn't like Stassi.

Giles.... no lead is safe

That's a tough ND for Verlander.

JusHappy2BeHere said:

Giles.... no lead is safe

True, but he was only responsible for one run, Rondon imploded with those other 3 runs.

They both imploded lol. Giles gave up 3 hits without recording an out.

I'd be surprised if they don't trade for a bullpen arm.

No reliever we could trade for would make our pen ERA go down. Not even Hand.

Edit: after tonight that might not be so.

AJ needs to hire a full time shrink just for Giles


no one with his electric stuff should be as **** rotten awful as he is
