That beard is glorious and I envy his ability to shape it the way he does.Harry Dunne said:
Keuchel hasn't said anything that terrible. He comes off a bit whiny sometimes, but he's no Tyler Bauer. I try to separate the player from the person or else it would be hard to root for a lot of these guys.
He and Harden do need to trim their beards down to a non-gnomish level. I wonder if either of them have anything contractual obligating them to keep them or if they are both just attention-seeking ******s.
Harden's beard gives him an extra 6 inches of face to draw a foul with. Dallas is just trying to be fashionable.Harry Dunne said:

It's funny that when it comes to his performance, which isn't bad, everyone rips him... but when it comes to his beard, which isn't great, everyone rallies behind him.
well that last take on Altuve and JD Martinez was pretty badirish pete ag06 said:
I googled LMJ and reliever to see if I could find the tweet of some national prospect guy who kept relegating LMJ to the pen and I found this ol Keith Law Chat... Here's some humdingers:

Now here's the off-day argument we were looking for!
Keuchel's beard...Legit man card punching symbol of facial hair perfection or attention whooaring facial pubes he's contractually obligated to keep.

Because we've had too much serious baseball talk for an off day.

Didn't he say he'd shave it off if they won the world series last year?
So now he's both a #5 starter and a liar.

Would just be so strange to see
He didn't say when.
I'm surprised he's not taking more heat for crawfishing on this.Farmer1906 said:

The beard is phenomenal.

Knowing how superstitious players and coaches are even in the stats age, you're surprised he's not taking heat for shaving a defining characteristic?
Health has been and still is my biggest concern for Lance. Getting a full season under his belt without spending significant time on the DL is something I'd like to see him accomplish this year.astros4545 said:Farmer1906 said:
Y'all are right. He did make some comment on shifts.
It seems like Lance is on the verge of becoming the guy we've all been waiting for.
Lance needs to go to the bullpen
He will never be efficient enough or healthy enough to be a full time starter
Also, he will never learn a third pitch
SIAP but another fun off-day topic:
Gerrit Cole will be on the bump tomorrow night facing his brother-in-law, Brandon Crawford (Cole married Brandon's sister Amy 2 years ago)
Crawford is 4 for 18 off Cole in his career, 2 for 6 with 2 Ks since they became family. Should be a fun matchup to watch tomorrow night!

Yes, because usually people take heat for saying publicly on multiple occasions they are going to do something and then not doing it.
Is being totally full of **** and blaming it on superstition one of those unwritten baseball rules, like not bunting late in a perfect game?

You have to bean the guy who's banging your sister, right? Let him know you won't stand for that. Send a message.

I think you have that backwards.
I don't think Crawford is in a position to bean Cole for Cole banging Crawford's sister...titanmaster_race said:Aggie8587 said:

Is Branford from Alabama?
Whoops. In my defense, it's been a long day.
Here's some Kate as recompense.

I'm 100% kidding. Just trying to add to the off day. He can grow it to his knees as long as he pitches well.Furlock Bones said:Harry Dunne said:Furlock Bones said:Harry Dunne said:I'm surprised he's not taking more heat for crawfishing on this.Farmer1906 said:

I did read today that he has endorsements that depend on it.
I was expecting JV to stay on normal rest followed by Cole, Uncle Charle, DK, LMJ for the foreseeable future.
Extra day for JV due to his last outing CG or just want to get Cole on mound quicker due to his longer layoff?

One week ago the Angels beat the Astros to move percentage points ahead of the Astros. Now they are in third place, 3.5 games out, and their closer, Kenyan Middleton is out for the season.

Nobody has been switched around. Cole has always followed McCullers

Have there been any baby bump Kate pics yet?

Astros Rotation Could Rank Among Best EverQuote:
They have the best strikeout rate (30.1 percent), the lowest average against (.189), the lowest slugging against (.316), and they've done it all while throwing the most innings (308). They've been so good that their .188/.253/.316 line against basically means that every hitter against them turns into Michael A. Taylor, who's hitting .185/.255/.305.
Even better, think about it this way: The entire Astros rotation is striking hitters out like Luis Severino (30.8 percent), allowing the same average as Chris Sale (.188) and limiting slugging like Max Scherzer (.319). That is, of course, ridiculous.
