Strom doesn't f*** around with his mound visits, he was on Paredes a**.

Maybe that's what he needs.

Credit where credit is due for a nice inning there. Just don't think we can rely on him in a meaningful spot anytime soon.

He definitely needs to be on him, having great stuff doesn't make you a pitcher...you have to actually pitch and not just throw s*** up there and hope for the best.

They've got to let the visiting teams production crew travel again

Dear James Click,

Do us a favor and send Straw down. Teach him that being a dumbass is not acceptable.

Sincerely

Every Astros fan everywhere.

Does that qualify as a TOOTBLAN? Because that was pure dumbass by Straw.

Carlos was signaling for Straw to slide. Not sure why he didn't.

Hell of a throw by LGJ though. Had to be an absolute dime, and it was.

That's the thing. One of the best arms in lf, have any baseball sense you know there'll be a play at the plate. Anticipate it and slide.

Oh, you have no baseball sense so you didn't anticipate it? Look at the on deck batter waving at you to slide?

Oh, you don't want to slide. Get thrown out and ruin a rally and have the other team starting pitcher laugh at you for being such an idiot


I was eyeballs deep in crawfish and beer here...that's the second time Lourdes had completely hosed Straw at home this year. He should have known better.

I'm guessing Straw thinks he's Usain Bolt so sometimes doesn't bust it or makes dumb decisions on the base paths.

His only asset is his speed and he's awful at using it.

He's useless

He's got an OPS of .600. He's hitting .245 on a season of singles. He gets thrown out on the bases a lot and is a minus minus CFer. He literally brings nothing to the team. Nothing but stupid outs.

Yep , that may have been the case but a baseball savvy player will slide unless he knows for sure he doesn't have to

isn't Bregman supposed to heat up in the summertime?

he has 0 RBI in the month of June so far.

and just 2 HR's since May 1st.

um, that's not a 3-hole hitter.

once Brantley returns...gotta think about Correa in the 3-hole. Or keep Correa in the 2 and move Tucker to the 3

Plan is basically to do 8-10 spot checks per game of pitchers for substances. Position players will be checked too. Get ready for the games to take longer

I predict they find nothing but a bunch of pushback from the MLBPA.

CBA negotiations this off-season are going to be ugly. Imagine what it's gonna do to the free agent market.

2 more games and we will have played the amount of season that 2020 was.

Crazy how small of a schedule 60 games really was in hindsight

Last 15 days is his hottest stretch of the season by far. Not even OPSing over .700 in that span.

Unrelated to the Astros (but y'all are my baseball friends) I'm watching Mets v Padres. Degrom on the bump. I had no idea he was 101 with a low to mid 90s slider.

I've been watching this game. He is such an elite pitcher. Easily the best pitcher in the game today
