Do better guys. Had a chance to open up and stalled.

Their ground crew kinda sucks.

Damn. That makes the Tucker and Chas ABs even worse.

Getting 1 run there was massive. Can't call the game now

Should be back playing in an hour. Hopefully less.

Looking at radar guessing this takes an hour.

So… Hunter Brown szn?

My guess is Bielak or Solomon would get first crack and we wait til June on Brown. Hopefully we don't have to worry about that though.

2 months ago if I'd said we'd be upset losing Odo for the season no one would've believed it.

Doesn't look good

Flipped over to watch the Arlingtons and LAA. Some observations. Crowd sparse and virtually dead. Turf looks like ass. Announcers are horrid. Carry on.

looks like it'll clear up at around 10pm local time. Not sure if they would keep it in a delay for that long

Brown has a nasty curve

Checking around the league and reminded the Yankees are gifted 20 games a season or whatever playing Baltimore

Highlighted are the realistic options for players to be called up to replace Odo...

Mushinski and Bielak are pretty obvious... I still think Enoli would be good to see get another chance but getting a guy that is either a lefty or that can give you length in the pen makes more sense

that's probably it for 2022.

which means his player option & buyout won't escalate (I think)

It makes sense for it to be Brown, no?

He is still walking a ton and has a 1.40 WHIP vs AAA hitters. I bet the organization want to see those numbers get under control first

what an awful stadium. That place needs to be burned to the ground.

I feel terrible for the guy. For starters he had finally gotten his groove back and looked like the guy we thought we signed.

And I'm sure he's not hurting for money, but IIRC he had some serious $ bonuses for reaching pretty pedestrian IP totals that he was likely to reach this season.

My orthopedist buddy said it's likely an Achilles based on the angles he's seen, but calf strain also possible

This is what I think and I stayed at a Holiday Inn express last night… would make sense why he never moved. ACL isn't usually zero mobility

teams are so desperate for starting pitching...maybe someone would offer 1-year for $8 MM...such that he would not exercise his player option with the Astros for $6.5 MM.

all depends on his rehab work

Yeah, feel terrible all around with this result. He's not an ace, but he was putting in quality work lately, and his presence will certainly be lost. He was a nice luxury to have for added rotation flexibility.

Astros can buyout for a few min, I think.

Contract Notes:
  • 2023 player option includes a $3.25M buyout
    Option escalates $2M & buyout increases $1M each for:
    20, 25, 30 starts, or any game with 12+ outs, max $12.5M/$6.25M

5 of Odo's 6 starts went 12+ outs this year... so that means he already maxed out his player option incentives for 2023

so he earns $12.5M next year with a $6.25M buyout

baseball reference says the buyout is $3.25 MM --- half the option
W
How long do you want to ignore this user?
ouch, so the buyout is $6.25 MM ?

kudos to his agent for the 12+ out incentives.

that will sting the Astros a little bit
