You know we're spoiled rotten when this many people hate a guy who is our 5th or 6th starter and has a 4.20 ERA

He's our 5th or 6th starter. Is he performing up to his contract? No, and that's definitely a reason to be disappointed. But he had that really good stretch before he got hurt and has only had, what, two starts since coming back? I really don't understand the hateful obsession with this guy.

Odo and Maldy are two of the most polarizing/divisive Astros Thread topics in a long time. Maybe dating back to the Ted debates.

Haha you're not wrong. Do I get excited to watch Odo pitch? No. Is there a 5th starter anywhere in the league that I would be excited to watch pitch? No.

Real quick...I'll just check Seattle's starter...oh he throws with his left hand, cool. Oh...Chas is 2-4 with a homer vs him? That's nice...let's put him on the bench.

I'm not much of a day-to-day lineup complainer, but not playing Chas against lefties is my exception

I can't imagine what level of unglued some of you would be at when Fiers was the 5th in 2017 and he threw a no hitter that year. Or Fister in 2016. Or god help us anyone pitching in 2013.

Robbie Ray is a lefty. He throws the 4 seamer ~43% of the time. Almost 60% fastballs if you include his sinker usage.

So lets look at Astros vs lefty fastballs (all types).



Chas is basically Mike Trout in this scenario.

He throws a slider ~38%. Slider from lefty #s



Chas is still better.

On another note, let's see how many fastballs Yuli gets vs sliders. Such a huge difference.

Again, this is the sort of thing that I have to believe Click and the nerds know, Dusty should know, and about which Dusty doesn't care.

Agreed.

It looks me just a few seconds to pull the data from a public source. I would hope they have better info with tools to write an optimized starting lineup (not so much the order, but just the 9 guys who fair best with positions optimized)

Edit: Or maybe they have a piece of info that says Chas shouldn't play. His GF dumped him, he stubbed his toe, he stayed up playing CoD all night, etc.

Assuming all goes well.

8/2 - Rehab Start #3
8/7 - Rehand Start #4
8/13 - Back in the Bigs vs OAK

This means he should be able to get in ~10 starts to help during the stretch run and be ready and fresh for the postseason.

Throws with his good arm to keep it strong

Doesn't want to potentially hurt his bad shoulder

Odorizzi is not that bad. It's just that, generally, we can't come back from 4, 5, 6 run leads...which he's given up a number of times. There might be a borderline wild card team out there in need of a veteran pitcher to shore up a rotation, or to next year help push a team rebuild up...


one can hope, right?

It's interesting the personal hate that athletes and other celebrities get online and in the stadiums. Fiers, Maldy, Odo, Taylor all got some hate in the last couple of pages here. I can understand being frustrated in how Maldy, Odo, and Taylor perform during games, but some people act like these players are intentionally not performing and would only be happy if said player committed seppuku immediately after striking out or getting tagged for a HR.....

There is a difference in wanting to bench a player for someone else and what BadAggie said. Most of the stuff is not real hate.
