Great game! Maybe Odorizzi will go to LA as a replacement pitcher.

W #56. Let's keep it rolling!
Korey Lee is the first of three I wanted brought up and he's doing well. Hunter Brown should be next. I don't know why we haven't given up on Siri and McCormick.

Had enough of the Dubon experiment. He just doesn't bring much to the table. Surely Click will find another utility player via trade at the deadline.

Yeah. Sure.

Buxton has 22 HR and an OPS+ just higher than Tucker's. BA is an antiquated stat.
what if he were hitting .205 or .195 --- still an all-star?
To me? Yes. 22 HR and 3 WAR in 66 games played to lead a surprise first-place team. He's an all-star player. I don't care how many singles he's hitting.

The Astros will come out of the All-Star break with a doubleheader against the Yankees at Minute Maid Park and then seven of their next 10 against the Mariners. https://t.co/EYS6D76rmS

Forrest Whitley left his second Triple-A start with an apparent injury. He threw 20 pitches. Sat 94-95 in the first inning and 92-93 in the second. Will update you when more information is available. https://t.co/7kSoFpCP3v

This is not good
It's well past time to believe Whitley will ever be a ML arm of any consequence. It's too bad but it's reality.
He's done.

Looks like JV is getting skipped? Hope we're shutting him down til the break.

He probably has a clause in his contact for some sort of mega bonus for getting 27 Ks in a game, so Crane is sitting him.

This seems like it was a big year for names. Vladdy Jr, George and Bichette all made it and none of them are having massive all star level years.
and Vlad jr is having a down year too --- OPS drop of 175 points (from last year).
not hitting for power like he did in 2021
From the @astros: Forrest Whitley left after 1.2 innings because of right shoulder inflammation.

I can't believe this guy is eating up a 40 man spot... Had he secretly been volunteering as an orthopedic test subject for some med students for the last 5 years?
If he starts Friday against Oakland at home it would mean pitching in the ASG on 3 days rest like a mid start workout. Let him throw 1 inning. And then he takes a start against NY on Thursday.
I would guess we don't see JV pitch until the All-Star game. No reason to skip him, otherwise
It's kind of strange. I would start him against LAA and then leave him in LA for the ASG. No reason for his to come home only to fly back to LA
Doesn't he live in LA?
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Yea. Part of me wonders if he'll even be coming back to Houston for the Oakland series. He's earned a little break at home with the fam.Mr.Bond said:

In all seriousness, he does need to get to 130 innings this year to exercise his player option. He's already at 103.AustinAg2K said:

Stanton just struck out staring at two pitches out of the zone called strikes. The way they have been favored all season by umps it's nice to see them get the shaft. Of course they are going nuts because it's not supposed to go that way.

Tucker made the all star team? Is that because dusty is the manager?
Other than the fact that half our pitching staff could justify going to the ASG, I think the Astros did better than usual for a mid market team.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I don't think Tucker earned the All-Star position. Pena and Stanek both earned the bid.
#5 in WAR for AL OFers (Judge, Alvarez, Trout, J-Rod).
#4 in wRC+ for AL OFers (Alvarez, Judge, Trout)
He's better defensively than all 3 starters and Alvarez.
Who would you put over him?
