Just awful giving up 5 in the first to that scrub team. Cole needs to get his head out of his ass pronto.


Cole claiming he saw he was tipping his pitches during post game analysis.


I mean, he might have been, who knows. But he couldn't locate worth a dang anyways. He was all over the place.

So far Verlander and Cole have fallen short of expectations while McHugh and Peacock have exceeded expectations.

Would've never thought that's how things would work out.
are we talking about the same Justin Verlander? Cuz he's 3-0 with a 3.00 ERA right now (under his career average of 3.39 ERA)


I will say I didn't realize his ERA was at 3.00

Just hasn't been the sharp, dominate JV I'm used to.

Seems like he has been struggling with commanding his FB and just kinda grinding a bit.

And yeah maybe my expectations are pretty high.


This is pretty normal for JV. He starts the season slow, and as the starts go by he gets more and more dialed in.

Based on what? He's now started 2 seasons with Houston. 2017 he was 4-0 in April and 3-0 this April. He's 16-13 after April.

The only metric which perfectly gauges starting performance is wins. All the new age stat gurus agree with this. JV has 3 wins this year, which means he's 100% responsible for 3 of our wins. We've also won 4/5 games he has started, which is an 80% winning percentage.

Not necessarily true about the 100% responsible for our wins.

He could pitch a complete game and give up 1 run, but take the loss 1-0.
Or he could pitch 7 innings, give up 5 runs and we could still win 9-5 with him getting credited with the win.

Based on previous experiences, this might not be such a bad thing

What is it with these godawful calls by home plate umps? That strike two call to George was low and outside. It wasn't even close.

Jake would get that ball. Don't like seeing Kemp in center.

Good thing Altuve is out of the lineup today down already 0-3 in the first.

With our pitching right now why would you want to give them an extra free base runner later?

This would be a depressing end to the road trip. Hopefully the boys wake up soon.

You must not have watched our offense the last two or three years This is a pretty knee-jerk reaction

Giving up line drive after line drive is more scrub-like than the contrary

Oh but I have. And when we struggle it's against no name scrubs. I'm not saying we're a bad team, just we make some scrubs look good. Like last night.
