"He should be a starter in this rotation"
First intelligent thing this chick has said all day.

He deserves a shot to start.
What's the longest he's gone in a game this year?

This dude doesn't look like he will be in middle relief for long.
Nope. Best pitcher every time he sees the mound.
I assume his longest would be the start he had in AAA.
Was Devenski in AA last year? Where tf did this come from?
Lowest era on the team by far is Devenski.
.89 I think

Give Gomez credit. That was a very clean break of the bat on his knee.
Hopefully they let him go a few innings tonight

Most impressive thing he's done all season
Valbuena can sit for a while.
Marwin is having a helluva game at 3B and already has more HRs than Luis.

Checked and the Stros called him up before he made the opening day AAA start. Longest outing for us is 3 innings.
He pitched AA last year, but was pulled up to pitch the Championship game for the Grizzlies. He did well in that game (like 7IP with 1 hit).

Gattis with 2 hits tonight!
Uh oh. Have another RISP.
Unfortunately... A long out.
Nothing kills a rally like guys on base.
Marwin and Springer both hit it hard and Altuve had a productive out.
Those shifts worked out fantastic there!
Lets ****in go Springer
Just to bring some numbers into here...
Break the team into 3 things: Hitter, Starters, Bullpen
Hitters
Bullpen
Rotation
I typed all of this to say that the gnashing of teeth over the lineup is somewhat misguided. It's clearly the rotation that absolutley freaking sucks. I don't know what the heck is going to happen but the rotation needs addressing ASAP.
Break the team into 3 things: Hitter, Starters, Bullpen
Hitters
- WAR: 6th in MLB, 2nd in AL
- wRC+: 3rd in MLB, 1st in AL
- All of this with a BABIP of .298 which means it is at least plausibly sustainable.
Bullpen
- ERA: ranked 21st in MLB
- FIP: ranked 22nd in MLB
- xFIP: ranked 4th in MLB
- I think this suggests that the bullpen has been better than the ERA says. I like xFIP better as a predictive stat because it takes HR/FB ratio into effect which has been obscenely high for the Astros.
Rotation
- ERA: ranked 27th in MLB
- FIP: ranked 22nd in MLB
- xFIP: ranked 17th in MLB
- It's clear that the rotation has been a tad unlucky, but this is easily the worst part of the team.
- By the way, the Rangers have the biggest discrepancy between ERA and FIP/xFIP. They have been extremely lucky as a starting rotation. They have an 83.9% LOB (Left on Base Percentage) which almost always normalizes to around 70%. This is probably so high because of the damn 3-game sweep where the Astros stranded a boatload of runners.

I'm sure Gomez is about to come through.
Stupid ESPN. There's no reason a Sunday game in Houston should finish after 11pm.
Gomez needs to calm the hell down and relax at the plate.
No way he doesn't K.
Gomez is lost up there

Gomez needs to pack his ****ing bags.
FIFY.
Gomez is a head case. He needs to go to minors for rehab.
Feldman blows ass

Need to start Marisnek for a change, I know he's not much better but Gomez has become a for sure out at the plate.

It's not ESPN's fault neither starter lasted more than 5 innings. And there have been a lot of base runners on each side.
Not a good game for either team.
