I mean he had the ball in his hand and he mowed him over.

I could see if they were both arriving at the same time but that was clearly Smyly's play.

Probably doesn't get him anyways but man what a tough way to lose it.

DIAZ!

Here's my theory on Yainer getting the start today:

Dusty has seen the number (W-L) and wants to see how he does with better competition like the braves.

It's 100% related to Hunter Brown starting.

Yainer Diaz is Hunter Brown's catcher. At least for now.

It's Dusty. It might be due to star alignment, the Dominican Republic being closer to Atlanta than Puerto Rico, and maybe he just likes to play young guys on Friday night.

Random question: Any of you guys in the Woodlands/Spring area? I'm fairly new to this side of town. Would love to grab a beer and watch the 'Stros


I'm not far. Always happy to meet up with a fellow Aggie and talk baseball.

Ah yes, Mercury is in retrograde so it makes total sense now! If the moon was waxing Dusty would've put Altuve at catcher

Listening to Dana on "The Show: A NY Post" Podcast (barf).

A few takeaways.
  • No extension talks with anyone right now (during the season).
  • Not worried about Abreu. He is still passing the eye test.
  • Complemented the Astros six man rotation and thinks pitching depth is a good problem to have. (reading between the lines we may see the 6 man rotation back with LMJ is back)
  • Very pro analytics mixing with scouting and makeup. Analytics isn't going anywhere. Making good decisions by using them all.
  • Dana thinks Dusty will use analytics when it matches his gut... but how does that mean he's using them?
  • Isn't worried about outside influence on Crane. Brown talks to Bagwell almost every day and guys like Biggio, Cabell, & Reggie too. Takes a group to make decisions.

That sucks but it's much funnier if you imagine the catcher took out a massive loan and put it on the pitcher not throwing a perfect game today


I'm trying to even think of what that line would look like:

Drew Smyly throws a perfect game today
YES +100000000
NO - 175000000

Smyly: "so you bet $175 million that I wouldn't get a perfect game today, to win $100?"
Catcher: "yup"
Smyly: "ok, I would have knocked me over too"

Is this game ever going to start or are these three just going to keep yammering.
