I'd bet good money that Bumgarner throws at one of our guys tonight. He's one of those old school pitchers who tries to enforce "baseball justice".

I'd take that bet. He doesn't want to be suspended.

Yup, guess he can thank Joe Kelly for testing out those waters first.

I would almost bet he is more concerned about his next team roping event than he is how the Astos "mistreated" him in the last few years

Ok, so the tweet below begs the question: would you rather have Urquidy as a starter or reliever?

When are they doing roster cut downs?

I'd rather him start for 3 innings than have James out there for 3 innings, then slowly build up but that's me. If we still have a 30 man roster.

I'm not sure they can cut the rosters down. All the injuries to pitchers, and this would force their usage even higher?
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

There were discussions about keeping the rosters at 30 but I don't know if they made a decision one way or the other

checking the team HBP stats...

the Cubs lead MLB with 13 hit batters. The Mets are second with 12 hit batters.

the Astros rank #13 in hit batters with 5 --- tied for 13th with 4 other clubs.

in the AL only, the Astros rank #6 in hit batters --- tied with the Tigers and White Sox.

so another media narrative...wrong so far in 2020

That was Peacocks coming out party if I remember correctly as well

We are all still trying to figure out how he made the 25 man roster, and he got out of a bases loaded no out jam in extras

Not exactly. He entered the game tied at 2. It was late. I had work the next day. I almost left.
He walked in the go-ahead run. I really almost left.
Then he struck out the side. I don't remember how exhausted I was at work the following day, but I'll never forget those 3 K's or the walk-off in the bottom half.

I still don't get how a DH needs 2 more weeks to be ready. Go take some simulated games from all the folks in the system and then come up in a few days. Yordan should already be up with the team

In other news ,the Pirates' team batting average through 10 games is .187.

I think I'm on the side of waiting to let Urquidy start and swap him and James as starter/reliever.

I'm listening to this interview. He did not have a positive sound in his voice.

You are right.

that first walk with bases loaded made me really question why he was on the team.

And the rest is history

And on that note:

Joe Kelly is tied for last in hit batters (zero) and leads the league in suspensions (8 games).

There are SO many injuries happening right now across the league and imo its clearly due to guys not being in proper shape yet.
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

if it's a major arm injury...then Osuna has likely pitched his last game for the Astros.

he's a free agent after the 2021 season.

one scary thing for the 'stros though...between Osuna & JV (worst case)...the team could have $40 MM on the injured list throughout the 2021 season. That's not good

We're literally none of these guys throwing during the shutdown?!? I know game speed is different, but damn... at least keep your arm in shape

I know I have heard rumors you can see his ghost squatting on the mound at MMP and the crack of a bat sending a ball into orbit when its silent and the lights are off

This season is looking like whoever has the least injuries is going to win.

What is crazy is NY seems to have avoided it when they'll full of injury prone players.

As long as he doesn't tip his pitches like he was that season, I think he could be a viable body in the bullpen...lol

I'm ok if they are saving their breakdowns for the start of the playoffs.
