baddog Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Top of the 4th, Astros up 5-0. Shutting out the Rangers with Peacock, a converted reliever. Springer and Correa with solo HRs. A win here will be a franchise record..... 10 straight road wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook'em Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I guess Mike Fiers realized he was pitching for his job and has looked good over his last start and early so far in this start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's keeping the ball down more, but still throws fat over the plate and a little up in the strike zone. HRs have given him fits. Astros at least give run support.

king Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 It seems like Everytime a team gets close we pull away by 5 runs. This team is so so good. Let's hope we can do the same in the playoffs Hook'em 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope we can do the same in the playoffs Astros are becoming the team that other teams dread playing. Everyone stepping up. Even Peacock, a converted middle relief, is doing great. Not sure when McHugh comes back but it will make us even stronger with all the run support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 We lost 2 in a row now it doesn't t hurt that Angels/Rangers lost and Mariners are losing. Still a big division lead regardless but anytime we lose and rest of division loses it's a win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musgrove is assuring he will be sent down to the minors once we get a couple of starters back from the DL. I always thought he would pan out as a #3 or 4 starter but it looks like I was wrong, he is a dumpster fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need another lefty in the pen. Not crazy about Sipp, although he has his days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not crazy about Sipp, although he has his days. Paulino, Peacock, and Martes have all stepped in and done well. Morton is fighting an oblique strain but should be back around the all star break. I have a gut feeling we make a play for Gerrit Cole and Tony Watson (lefty reliever) from Pittsburgh. I have little to no trust in Sipp coming into a tight situation in the playoffs.

I'm a strong believer in lefty relief unless your starter is a lefty. Could be why I'm not a manager. Hook'em 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS Wildcats Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 The bullpen is terrible. Why so much micro-managing by Hinch? Let the starter start the inning and then go get him if he starts to struggle. Will Harris was just awful tonight. Starters used to go eight and then you got the closer.

Crazy ending on a base running error by Gardner When he did that stutter-step, I hollered "gun him". Correa's ability to throw off balance made that play happen. Like you said, good win!
