After this homestand I'm not against moving around some of the guys that are able to be called up and down. I'd really like to see Jose Siri get a shot at some point this summer

Sure...Why not?

Can't be any worse than what we got now.

Yordan's timing seems really off.

If you are going to bring Siri up the time to do it is now while he's still hot. The Straw experiment has to end. Watching players take extra bases like tonight when then never should is infuriating.

Really hoping the bullpen comes out better tomorrow. That was a really bad performance by them.

The off day on Thursday is where you make the move. Send Straw down. DFA Joe Smith. Bring up Conine and Siri.

That was probably the worst game I've been to. And I went to quite a few in 2013 and went to game 7 in 2019. This SUCKED

The 8k plus annoying Dodgers fans made it 10x worse.

I get the optimism but on a serious note what makes you think it'll be any different?

This isn't a good pen that had a bad night that's an outlier

The walks have been an issue all season and I don't see anyway this group all of a sudden changes it.

100% right. They need reinforcements in a bad way. Praying Odo and Framber are ready soon. The potential adds of Javier and Garcia would make me feel better

Hope he still gets a shot when the rest of the pen comes back and he's healthy.

Stole this from another Astros message board thread... it breaks down our pitching options on the 40 man roster...


Quote:

Here's the pitchers on the 40 man but not the big league club (excluding Framber and Odorizzi)

Pedro Baez (60 day IL)

Tyler Ivey

Josh James (10 day IL)

Austin Pruitt (60 day IL)

Nivaldo Rodriguez

Peter Solomon

Blake Taylor (10 day IL)

Jairo Solis

Whitley


Solis is out until at least August after elbow surgery but he hasn't pitched since 2018 anyway before he had TJ. And of course Whitley is out for the year. Neither of them is technically on the 60 day IL. They were optioned to the minors and placed in the MiLB IL.

Here's the conundrum...they can't be replaced on the 40 man roster unless they're placed on the MLB 60 day IL...where they'll accrue service time and draw a major league salary. So they were optioned to the minors but their injury status is irrelevant to the 40 man and they can't be replaced without being DFA'd. So our 40 man roster is actually a 38 man roster held hostage by two minor leaguers out for the year.


The only options we've got to call up are Solomon, Rodriguez and Ivey who has to stay down for 10 days from Friday unless we IL a roster player. Or Blake Taylor can be activated from IL.

Rodriguez pitched tonight and threw 57 pitches. Solomon threw 61 pitches last night.

So basically the only minor league options we've got for immediate relief is Ivey but he can't come back until Monday unless someone goes on the IL. Or activate Taylor but hes only thrown 1 rehab inning.

Is Pruitt really worth keeping on the 40 man roster at this point? He's not a good pitch in his career and he's been hurt his entire time here... maybe cut bait on him

At this point no. He hasn't pitched in 2 years and has never pitched for us

Long season to go, and would rather get our slump in now than in postseason, but damn is thus team tough to watch right now. My wife refuses to watch with me right now because I get so pissed at our performance lately.

There's quite a few guys I would be willing to cut bait on the 40 man. And lots of guys not on the 40 man who could be doing better than this trash

Straw hit me a foul ball last night

That is the ideal person to hit to you due to his lack of strength

Maybe on Thursday the bullpen can have a strike zone seminar from Strommy. I don't know how much longer I can watch guys come out of the pen and just consistently throw miss after miss. The scouting report at this point has to be just leave the damn bat on your shoulder.

With that said, I think we are entering the territory where Click and Co. cannot sit on their hands and continue to roll with what they have. The rest of this homestand might be ****, but the makeup of the pen should look better soon once some guys get moved around.

We're a game out of first.

Between now and the trade deadline our bullpen should look something like this:
Pressley
Stanek
Baez
Javier
Garcia
Raley
Emmanuel or Taylor
Paredes or Scrubb or Smith

I think the top 6 in the group can get us outs at high enough level to coast into the division assuming the offense or starters don't go to crap.

If it's not or if there are too many injuries, then look at making a move at the deadline.

Yea my post did not articulate as well as you did there haha. I didn't mean to suggest we have to make trades, but Click is gonna have to make the decisions soon to make certain moves (i.e. moving Javier and Garcia to the pen). This pen, as currently constructed, is a** my dude.

In that case, you are a great thinking and world-class gentleman.
