Hmm...Neftali Feliz DFAed by the Brewers.

He's been roughed up this year, but is he worth a look?

Can he go 6 innings, even if he's giving up a ton of runs?


If so, sign him today.

Pretty rich coming from a carpetbagger franchise.

That's kind of my point.

Along those same lines I see Edwin Jackson cleared waivers and is a FA. His numbers aren't very good but he's a starter who can eat innings.

Lance reads TexAgs


it also doesn't help Banister's case that our jerseys say "ASTROS" and not "Houston" across the chest

Again, whoever takes the mound tonight needs to hit Rat Face.

The away jerseys say "Houston." But, I see what you are saying. Either way -- the Rangers suck.

this might be the worst lineup we've put out there this year.
that's a good thing, but also a scary thing for the near future.

At this point we need every pitch we can get out of our arms. They already can't throw 60 pitches so every pitch counts.

Therefore, tell McCann to put it on his ass as he steals second.

nah, it's way more satisfying to throw in the dirt and watch him flail around. Need to stop hitting the zone with him.

What's worse than Beltran in the 5 hole?





Beltran in the 4 hole

I don't think so. Besides Reddick being out, Marisnick is seeing the ball well this year, a hot/fresh bat in Fisher could be an upgrade from Bregman, changing it up with Altuve/Correa at 2/3 could be a smart move.

Idk I kinda like the lineup tonight. I think we score at least 4 tonight and Martes gives a quality start.

I'm not sure which one of these is less likely.

4 runs is an even money bet in the worst of circumstances for this team. Theoretically QS% runs 50% as well, but Martes has been in the bullpen and has like only 32 IP even in 8 AAA starts, so, I find that one easily more doubtful.

No optimism with this group! The turnaround starts tonight

I laughed at this one. I think you may be right.

Are the dollar dogs worth it? Trying to decide if I should eat before I go or at the park. The hot dog isn't a bad deal but the drink will still make it expensive.

The dogs are always worth it, IMO. The $1 price helps you save money for more beer!

What do you plan on eating that's cheaper than $1 per hot dog?

Yes it's worth it
Frok

My thought is I can find a meal nearby that is the same price but not a stadium hot dog. (When you factor in the drink)

Just buy a souvenir soda, comes with free refill, and load up on dogs. Probably cost around $10

Get a plastic flask.
Full with booze
Get souvenir soda
Profit!

Used to do this at the hall of fame. Bring a flask of whiskey, say I was DD to get free Coke and get drunk. Of course drinks were .25 cents until 11 pm then.

Looks like Gustave was moved to 60 day DL to make room on 40 man roster for Fisher.

Is he actually hurt?

He's been on the DL with arm soreness. Was shut back down in May after a rehab setback.

So Martes is 0-2 with a 5.29 ERA in AAA? Why did we call him up? Yes I know we're desperate but over 5.00 ERA in AAA?

Then why does his ERA...in the minors...suck? I get he's our "#1 prospect" but

People have said he's been working on a changeup in AAA instead of just using his top pitches, no clue if that's an excuse or not though

I'm standing behind left field, so I can't really tell, but it's starting to look like MLB put its four worst umpires on the same crew.
