rupert3 Posted Sunday at 10:49 AM Report Posted Sunday at 10:49 AM So much for coming out of this series 8 up. Lose 7-6 in 11 innings. Mariners just hungrerer right now. That's baseball. Now only 3 up. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted Sunday at 01:36 PM Report Posted Sunday at 01:36 PM Another bad outing for McCullers. 2.2 innings, 5 hits, 4 runs, 3 BB He has the worst ERA (6.90), worst WHIP (1.74) and worst walks per 9 innings pitched (30 in 44.1 innings pitched) of all the Astro starters. 11 total starts and only 44 innings pitched. Currently, his salary is what is keeping him in the big leagues. rupert3 1 Quote

Bad news bears defense and a passed ball lost it. rupert3 and AggiesAreWe 1 1 Quote

You can send hime to the minors, but you still have to pay him. He's probably a great kid but hey this is baseball. So they need to do something now before it's too late. Also there are a couple more players that are almost useless. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted Sunday at 03:28 PM Report Posted Sunday at 03:28 PM The Houston Astros are bringing up IF/OF Shay Whitcomb and 1B Jon Singleton from Triple-A Sugar Land to join the team today in Seattle. rupert3 1 Quote
rupert3 Posted Sunday at 11:17 PM Report Posted Sunday at 11:17 PM 11-3 Ort win with Hunter not pitching well. We needed that salvage. back to 4 up. Great hitting last half of game. Quote
rupert3 Posted Monday at 10:04 PM Report Posted Monday at 10:04 PM OK now get a win meaningful win streak, It can be done. Quote
rupert3 Posted Tuesday at 11:20 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 11:20 AM 6-3 win over Arizona. Brice Matthews 2 dingers and was the first astro since Jake Meyers in 2021 to hit his first 2 dingers in thw same game. Hader 26 saves. Back to 5 up Brewers beat Mariners 6-1 baddog 1 Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted Tuesday at 10:56 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 10:56 PM Astros have placed Lance McCullers on 15 day IL with a right finger blister. Houston has recalled up RHP Nick Hernandez from Triple A Sugarland. McCullers was scheduled to start tomorrow's game at Arizona. This makes 17 players on the IL for Houston. Most in MLB. Quote
rupert3 Posted Tuesday at 11:09 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 11:09 PM Didn't expect that but hope it works out. Stros were going for Brandon Lowe from Rays but he was place on IL for Rays and will miss trade deadline. Quote
rupert3 Posted 16 hours ago Report Posted 16 hours ago Valdez wins a close one 3-1. Mathews anonther dinger and finishes game with double play. Valdez now 11-4. Still 5 up as Mariners win 1-0. Some really good defensive plays on both sides. Quote
baddog Posted 14 hours ago Author Report Posted 14 hours ago Astros take the series and go for the sweep today. I think they can do that. Unbelievable how many players are on IL. King sure made that interesting. Needed to get a strikeout in order to get out of the bases loaded jam, then a double play to seal it. He was blessed with both. There are other ways to accomplish the feat, but this one seems most plausible. Matthews has been a phenom at the plate in this series. I have to admit though, until that game ending DP, I hadn’t been real pleased with his play @ 2nd base. Two players we don’t need are McCormick and McCullers…..the two Mcs. Sorry for the negative post, but I’ve felt this way for a while. Quote

BEARCPA Posted 13 hours ago Report Posted 13 hours ago I'll be at the game on Sunday afternoon, so bet your house on the A's. The 'Stros haven't won a game I've attended since 2019, and I've been to about 10 games since then. rupert3 1 Quote

But if they lose, your Daikin Park privileges are removed for the next 3 years. Good thing I don't bet on baseball. BEARCPA and rupert3 2 Quote

AggiesAreWe Posted 4 hours ago Report Posted 4 hours ago 102 games played for the Astros and that was the 95th different hitting lineup for Houston. Talk about piecing together a season. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted 4 hours ago Report Posted 4 hours ago The Astros will call up Jason Alexander to start tomorrow against the A’s. Nick Hernandez has been optioned. Quote
baddog Posted 4 hours ago Author Report Posted 4 hours ago Brewers are the only team with a better record in MLB. Quote
baddog Posted 3 hours ago Author Report Posted 3 hours ago We should sweep the A’s, but we haven’t played well at home as of late, and Bear is attending the Sunday game, so I’ll settle for 3 of 4. Lol Quote
