Brandon Lowe (TB) is the guy to catch...but won't even be close if Yordan keeps it up.
Thought he surpassed rookie status last year. He must have barely kept it thought.
Kept it by 1 AB (130 is cut off, he had 129 last year).

Interesting that Yordan isn't even on the odds board yet. I wonder when he starts picking up steam.

I can't imagine it. His ERA is 4.32, but his FIP and xFIP are 4.80 and 4.51.

Turned on the the Mariners broadcast to catch this potential bit of history. Good grief these Mariners announcers are a snoozefest.

I'm holding out what will probably be false hope that urkeeding is going to put together some nice starts.

I'm holding out for Stroman or Thor. If only one of us is disappointed in 2 weeks it will be a good 2 weeks.

I was impressed he was only on pitch, what 78? At the start of the inning. Efficient.

And he promptly walks the next guy on 4 pitches.

Will Harris tried to give away Game 2.

No trust.

Leake faced the Angels a week ago in his last start. He went 0.2 innings giving up 8 hits and 7 runs. That's the way baseball go

So that piss missile that Yordan hit last night...I'm still amazed by how it look like he barely swung. Guy has ridiculous power and the fact that we traded Josh Fields (who helped us win the WS) for him is the steal of the century

His .230 or so BA says no, but maybe Luhnow could make it work. I still don't really want Boyd though...seems like his first half of the year is the anomaly for his career and not the norm

We should be able to do better than a guy who is playing well enough for the first time in his career to be coveted.

There was some discussion regarding this guy earlier this week.

What pitcher wouldn't want to pitch for the Astros? Strom has made one of the best pitchers of all time even better. It's a first class organization with a college atmosphere. The offense is incredible.

The only downside I can think of are the Crawford Boxes.

If I'm an established starter that's made money, I'm telling my agent I want a ticket to Houston.

Yeah I brought him up as a potential option. Seemed like a cheap guy to bring in. Guess that was right

The Astros are definitely a desirable option, but so are several other teams too: Dodgers and Yankees to name just two

If his spin rates are above average (I know nothing about his) this is exactly the kind of acquisition the Astros front office looks for. Cheap, controllable player with the skills they can use to mold into a better pitcher.

That said, I would hope they also go after an established pitcher in addition to a young guy with significant team control left.

Does Jake count? He's an elite defensive fielder and he's only a little below average at the plate.

I don't think there's any way Jake gets traded. Too much defensive value late in the game to give him up, still controllable for another year or two, and seems to be coming around offensively. Plus, he's a clubhouse favorite.

He made a good impression on them last night

I actually thought he (Minor) pitched pretty well aside from the 3 jack lapse. Struck out 10 only walked 1.

Yea. And the rebuilding Tigers don't want a veteran outfielder with one year of controllability. That's not the kind of asset they're looking for in return for Boyd.
