This is real, or is my sarcasm meter off this morning?

It's joking because 1. Jordan's came back negative and yet he needed surgery & 2. Because negative is usually a bad thing except in the medical field.

The splits are ridiculous. Sub 2 at home.

So on the two lost home games that will be made up in LA and Oakland... will the Astros be the "home" team?

I should write a book on my experiences being a fan of the Astros. Good time to capitalize on the cheating, I guess.

Which makes me wonder why we didn't throw Lance yesterday.

We could've thrown him or Greinke yesterday since they both pitched during the DHer last week.

Seems logical if given the option you'd throw Lance at home and let ZG start on the road.

Dusty and more of his 27 D chess moves.

I'd be much more interested to read a book written by Luhnow or Taubman. However much money they were given to keep quiet, I wish we could raise it and let them spill everything they know.

Honestly I wish Dusty would have started LMJ yesterday instead of ZG. I understand why he went with ZG, but the home version of LMJ is just so much better than the road. I'd rather limit his road starts.

Why did he go with ZG?

Guessing it's to keep him on regular rest but that doesn't make sense either.

Zach is a vet and he can handle an extra day in his schedule and Lance seems like he needs regularity more than ZG does.

The benefit of home Lance outweighs all that.

I was thinking more along the lines that Dusty thought winning the series was more important. Maybe has more trust in ZG going out there and having a higher chance of winning vs LMJ (even though we all know home LMJ is just as good or at least comparable to ZG)

St. Louis is still 7-8 games in the hole. They have that many DHs to play the rest of the way.

the Astros will reach the 40-games-played plateau by Sunday.

and by next weekend some teams will be in the "mathematically eliminated" range for the playoffs/division title

It was a joke. I was thinking about how Yordan's came back negative, and then he had surgeries on both knees.

Just funny how you go from negative too two knee surgeries in a free days span.

I have no data to back this up, but rest rarely seems to fix what a pitcher has broken. Usually it just delays the inevitable until it impacts the next year. It's what has me worried about Verlander.

Got three more years of team control w Pruitt after this one. If he needs to have surgery to get right, no problem.

The Yankees next 14 are 8 against Baltimore and 6 against Toronto (7 away then 7 home) Traditionally they smoke Baltimore.
Yankees open the game up giving up a HR to Baltimore.



Also more injuries for the Yankees:

We got played by the Rays like we usually do to other teams. I bet Click knew it was coming.

While I have 0 sympathy for the Yankees, the number of injuries in this **** show of a season is going to haunt MLB and the players for years.

Julia says he'll sit a couple days, so sounds like the MRI didn't return anything suspicious.

35 days in your hotel room will definitely delay your return to being a starting pitcher.
