Is a changeup effective when it goes the same speed as your fastball? Asking for a friend
"The Human Rain Delay Pedro Baez."

The Orioles beat the Yankees on a walk-off WALK 😳

Can we cut Baez? Maybe for a pound of Mexican jumping beans or josh James?
Josh James looks like Nolan Ryan compared to Baezttha_aggie_09 said:

Tucker could have caught it if he wasn't lollygagging
That should be the end of Baez as an Astro
Can we be done with him now?
I'm sure he's a decent guy but there has to be somebody at Sugarland that can do better

At 35 pitches he may not ever be able to throw again.
Pedro Báez faced seven hitters:

Single
Walk
(balk)
Sac fly
Strikeout
Walk
2-run double
4-pitch walk
Fastball averaged 90.8 mph
33 pitches (17 balls)
Pedro Báez got the baseball with a five-run deficit. He faced seven hitters and allowed five of them to reach. One of the two that didn't stung a sacrifice fly at 100.1 mph.

Baez (20.25 ERA curr)

33 pitches- 16 strikes
Maxing out
FB - 92 mph (pitch number 24)(90-91)
CH- 86 mph (82-86)
SL- 82 mph (81-82)
How does that compare? See Graph
I said it before folks. He is done. They just aren't telling you yet.
Sorry Odo you aren't the Weakest Link- Baez is pic.twitter.com/CsD5oYndsc
There is just no fire on this team right now. It's tough when you lose players like Springer and then Correa. Bregman is having a great season, but he hasn't been a vocal leader in over two seasons. There is just nobody to really light a fire under their asses right now. As nice as Dusty is, he's a quiet, geriatric slug and the team has kind of followed his lead.
You need to get Yordan back and also get Siri in the line-up. I know it's early, but I just don't see it personality wise for this team. The talent is there, just not the leaders right now.

That's why you pay the man. HE was the leader of this run. Nobody on this team is THE leader.

AKA 13-0
I just realized I've spent the last hour reading Babylon Bee articles on my tablet while waiting for this game to end.
Lots of cliff jumping tonight. This game will make the Astros 4-3.
The offense has been disjointed because there isn't consistency yet. Yuli was out for paternity leave. Yordan has been sick. Altuve is trying to pick up the slack. Also, we've had two off days the first week of the season. If we wouldn't have blown that game against Arizona, we'd be 5-2.
No need to panic.
Odo though and Baez, they are problems.

Welp, that's ballgame. Goodnight y'all, it's been a long day for me. There is always tomorrow.

Would someone call the front office and tell them I'm not having fun. Baseball is supposed to be fun
Most of what we are frustrated with have Dusty's prints all over it. He's been jacking around the lineup and giving off days which has screwed with the guys trying to find a groove. Still starting Castro against left handers. Somehow, Odo was set up as our #2 starter, which is ridiculous. If JV wasn't ready we needed to get Garcia or Urquidy in line. Trotting Baez out there is just a much on Click, cut him and let's fill it with someone else. Good rum hitting 3rd is ridiculous. But in positive news the bullpen additions, Siri, Peña, and Chas look good. It's early, this team will find its groove
It also doesn't help that we start off the season with a 9 game left coast road trip. **** you, MLB.
Just watched the highlights here in Florida. I made it through 3 innings last night. Can we sign Ichiro as a middle reliever after that first pitch last night?

Yep blame the lockout for that one
Anybody have their jersey shipped yet? I'm wondering if that June 9 timeline is actually accurate
Honestly in today's economic climate I don't see why y'all think stuff might ship early. I tend to always believe stuff will be late, never early.

Also, we've had two off days working the first week of the season. If we wouldn't have blown that game against Arizona,. With this kid, we are at 5-2.

Throw Maldonado in there too. Or is majority of the board still singing his game calling praises? How long can you keep defending this guy? He was an offensive liability last year and it looks even worse this year.
This You get more from Correa than his stats & defense. He was unquestionably the team leader, especially last season. He gave the team moxie and fire. Now we really don't have that......yet.Burn-It said:

Speaking of CC, what are the Astros going to do with all the money they offered him? Use it to lock-in Breggy, Tucker and Yordan? Trades? Nothing?
The hat shipped the very next day. I've never had something from MLBShop get shipped 2 months later.
In the past they've said special event item won't ship until ______ date, but then it usually gets shipped early anyways.
