Is Mike Fiers pitching in the Marshall Islands League?

August is coming. That means we are bound to see that yearly two or three week stretch where they suck and many on this thread will have to get talked off the ledge.
Nah, it was great.
With Maldy's offensive explosion in July (.353/.476/.765), I think it's time we start playing Machete vs. Joey Gallo - the batting average race.
With a 1 for 4 night, Machete is up to .162 and on pace for 16 HR and 41 RBI.
King Donkey was 1 for 5 and is hitting .166 and on pace for 19 HR and 40 RBI.
It's anyone's ballgame. Although Martin is putting up those numbers at 33% the salary.

Joe Kelly is a *****
That's why
You shoulda watched the Astros the past couple years
On top of that he plays a much more important position.
Astros 4-0 vs. Oakland
15 games left vs. the A's
yummy

West coast got me last night. Glad you guys hung in there to the end.
I just can't imagine the A's stay in Oakland much longer. What a pitiful fan base.

Mariners are on a tear right now, still 13 games back. Win 6 in a row against Oakland, the Padres, and Toronto

They're not even in the last WC spot yet. AL East is dominating it.

Astute predictions.

Per Wikipedia - Fiers' contract was purchased 6/29/22 from Leones de Yucatn by Uni-President Lions of the Chinese Professional Baseball League.
Sounds like a joke, but I couldn't wish it on a greater guy.

Yeah I'm not scared. Just like it always does, this hot streak will end. Maybe they will trade away some of their best players again at the deadline and claim it's a positive...
It is as if Gallo is a 16 year old high school cheerleader or something.Bregxit said:
Keep that ****stick yankee off our thread.
the Mariners are 2 games behind Toronto for the last wildcard spot.
and speaking of the Blue Jays (45-40)...just 1-7 in their last 8 games.
they were the trendy AL WS pick, but have had a disappointing first half

Astros the last few years have typically played .500 ball or worse in August with the exceptions of 2017 and 2019.Farmer1906 said:agproducer said:Farmer1906 said:

Astute predictions.
2017, they went 11-17 in August, and 2019, they went 19-9. But in 19, they had a 5 or 6 game losing streak in the month.
I'm bracing for the .500 ball and the flood of messages like, "What's wrong with the Astros?" And "We suck!"
Martin Maldonado has the best OPS (1.250) on the Astros for the month of July:
— Michael Schwab (@michaelschwab13) July 9, 2022
Other stats:
.333 AVG
.440 OBP
.810 SLG
3 HR
5 RBI
.515 wOBA
248 wRC+
Maldy says "trade this mfers"
The big difference is it feels like our bats are finally starting to wake up and that can carry us as I expect our pitching to take a dip (heck, it already has the last week).agproducer said:Astros the last few years have typically played .500 ball or worse in August with the exceptions of 2017 and 2019.Farmer1906 said:agproducer said:Farmer1906 said:

Maldanaldo's torrid hot streak has pushed his average all the way up to .162. Only .38 below the Mendoza line.
just checked the Mariners' upcoming schedule...
the M's are off on the Thursday after the all-star game...while the Astros will be playing the doubleheader vs. the Yankees.
and then the Astros get on a plane for a weekend series in Seattle.
that is an awful travel schedule

Bats are starting to wake up, and maybe we will see a performance like 19, but I fully expect them to cool off. I believe we will see a clunker series or two against inferior competition. It almost happened against KC.
I started watching in 1977, how about you?astros4545 said:helloimustbegoing said:Not sure how great it is when we were getting the **** kicked out of us and still lost.BadAggie said:

We may lap the field. It is probably why MLB is delaying implementing it.Deluxe said:

Good to see the ump conspiracy theories have moved from A&M baseball to the Astros. I'd bet everything I can find similar posts on the rangers thread.

It's a universal rule that umpires, officials, commissioners, and announcers hate every team you're a fan of.
I think there's some real bias though from the umpires (subconscious or intentional) against the Astros though. All you have to do is look at the umpire score cards for the games against the Yankees. It was heavily slanted one way. I don't think of myself as a conspiracy theorist, but there's a lot of mounting evidence.
Who will batters yell at when they get called out on strikes in the 9th inning of a tie game?
