2025 Astros

[rupert3]

Is it just a yearly slump or a meltdown.

IMO I believe it is all the changes in the lineup and they just can't gel.  Arreghetti back for next series.

[AggiesAreWe]

Astros currently taking care of business.

Up 6-0 top of 7th

[AggiesAreWe]

Astros with an 8-2 win over the Marlins. Stops a 3 game losing streak.

[baddog]

Peńa hasn’t missed a beat.

[rupert3]

Nice bounce back win.  Alexander nice pitching.

Mariners off tonight so back to 3 uo

They are making this game a bullpen game in order to give some of the starters extra rest. Probably see Houston use 5-6 pitchers in this game.

Gives Brown 6 days and will make the start in the opener at Yankees. Will also allow Arrenghetti to pitch the second game on Saturday and Framber on Sunday.

I personally like this move.

[rupert3]

I guess we'll see the new pitcher Rooney tonight.  Just maybe he will come in handy.

Paredes has opted for Rehab instead of surgery,  Said he doesn't want his season to end.

Also Singleto has signed on again with Stros for minor league Sugarland

[AggiesAreWe]

Blubaugh with a good 5 innings for the Stros. Came in the 3rd, gave up 2 runs on 3 hits, 5 K's.

Houston leads 7-3 after 7.

[AggiesAreWe]

Astros win 7-3.

Houston uses 5 pitchers total with Blubaugh going 5 innings (3-7). Abreu and Hader finished it off.

Every Houston batter got a hit.

[rupert3]

Nice win.  Now White Sox need to take care of business and take care of Mariners

Mariners are a -250 for this game.

Seattle with Woo on the mound tonight. I like the Mariners in this one. lol

[rupert3]

We will see.  I was aprehensive about bullpen starters but it worked out nice.  Blubaugh seems like maybe pretty good for the future.

[rupert3]

Optioned Rooney to Sugarland

[AggiesAreWe]

Arrighetti with a rough first inning. Gave up 3 runs on 6 hits. Faced all 9 batters in that inning. Marlins left the bases loaded. Threw 30 pitches.

[AggiesAreWe]

Thru three innings, Arrighetti has given up 5 runs on 10 hits. Over 70 pitches. 

Not the start he was wanting for his first time back since beginning of season.

[AggiesAreWe]

Arrighetti lasted 3 2/3. 11 hits, 5 runs on 86 pitches.

Astros down 6-3 after 5.

[AggiesAreWe]

Houston goes down 6-4.

Astros were 4-14 with RISP. 10 LOB's.

[rupert3]

Lose 6-4 win series. Araghetti just didn't it but he will come back.  Hitting was dood but we left too many on base.   Going  to Yankees.  Come on guys

I know Correa had a great game, but could someone please explain why Peńa needed rest?

Heard the manger say that they were going to take things with caution with Pena. I was expecting Pena to sit yesterday due to the prior game being a night game and the following game being a day game.

[rupert3]

Astros have signed RHP Enyel De Los Santos to a Major League contract. He is scheduled to join the club in New York City in time for tomorrow’s series opener vs. the Yankees. De Los Santos, 29, was 3-3 in 43 relief appearances for the Braves in 2025 with a 4.53 ERA.

[rupert3]

Mariners win today so we only 1 1/2 up. They are on a roll.  Will we rebound?

[myrecordwashorrible]

Another Apple TV+ game tonight.

[baddog]

Hate that ump cam.
