Odorizzi said he basically has a tight forearm the same way you'd get a tight calf and just need some time off.

"When we say it's short-term, I think that's pretty realistic," he said. "There's no damage done. Just relieving the tightness."

Odorizzi in Emanuel's 8 2/3 innings to follow him: "One of the coolest things I think I've ever seen from a pure team effort. ... He really did us a solid."

I don't know how much y'all have seen him quoted but Odo seems like such a good dude and teammate. He just seems to say all the right things.

Odorizzi on the relief performance Kent Emanuel had Saturday: “Hats off to him for doing that. He deserves a lot of notoriety for that because it’s not easy to do when you're ready for an outing, let alone the phone rings in the dugout and you’re on.”

Hope he can come around to be a reliable starter for us.

Is Danielle Lerner taking over Chron Astros duty from Chandler? That would be a positive development. She seems like much much less of a *****y whiney frat boy troll wannabe journalist.

Thank you for your service leading off Correa. Now you can get buried in the 6 hole

The Astros have optioned IF Abraham Toro to their Alternate Training Site and transferred RHP Pedro Báez to the 60-day IL.

Baez...

Baez...

Damn. I wonder what the deal is with Baez. I guess if he returns healthy he'll be well rested for the stretch run but we could really use him rn.

Something that stuck out to me was Bregman's sprint speed only being 24.2 and Yordan's being 26. Bregman is closer to Maldy so far this year than Brantley/Yordan. I assume he hasn't been pushing it because of his hamstring.

So that was a question brought up on the broadcast the other night. What is taken into account and when for sprint speed? Home run trots? Jogging out a routine grounder? Cruising into second on an easy stand up double?

He's not slow but Bregman isn't exactly a burner. He's got pretty average speed.

Kyle Seager...this might be his last season in a Seattle uniform. Team option for 2022

Why would home run trots factor in or easy walks around the base. It would render the stat meaningless.

Here is the simple version:

Sprint Speed is Statcast's foot speed metric, defined as "feet per second in a player's fastest one-second window" on individual plays. For a player's seasonal average, the following two types of plays currently qualify for inclusion in Sprint Speed. The best of these runs, approximately two-thirds, are averaged for a player's seasonal average.
* Runs of two bases or more on non-homers, excluding being a runner on second base when an extra base hit happens
* Home to first on "topped" or "weakly hit" balls.
The Major League average on a "competitive" play is 27 ft/sec, and the competitive range is roughly from 23 ft/sec (poor) to 30 ft/sec (elite). A player must have at least 10 competitive runs to qualify for this leaderboard.

nice escape by Urquidy

Not much movement on the fastball. Saw maybe a couple of sliders. Thought that would be a wipeout pitch tonight.

Altuve still swinging it

Poor Julia

Good grief he stole that by a mile

Altuve full of antibodies!!!

Shouldn't the runner be calling for time? Professional courtesy maybe.

Yordan must not be seeing the fastball well so far. The two he watched were in the hit me zone

With Seager covering 3B was totally open. If Altuve just dissing slide and makes the turn he's standing on 3B.

He saw that one

holy **** what a hit

Yordan!

he was waiting for that pitch

SMOKED

Yord

That was hit so hard Haniger couldn't catch it

105.7 off the bat
