Any other pitcher would be getting pulled right now. Dusty giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I don't even care about JV being hittable tonight, like you said it's one game. The lead should've been bigger. The consequences of the braindead approach to personnel management/lineup construction continue.

How many times this year have the Astros got out to a big lead in the first, only to have to fight and scratch the rest of the way,

He's gotta get out of this and then he's gotta be done.
And he is and hopefully he is.

JV has games where his fastball is off one inning and he rights the ship. For whatever reason he couldn't manage that tonight. The good thing is the pen is pretty rested.

So glad we got Maldonado in there looks like he was a big help for Verlander

I'm not saying Verlander will always be ass, but when you can't get whiffs it makes things difficult. His stuff is still good velo wise, but location is not great, and Maldy isn't helping with his framing.

Hopefully he has better luck next outing.

I'm not looking again but I believe it's the second biggest H/R split for record this season. Second to the Rangers.

Not the two completely unproductive outs when the bases were loaded with 0 and 1 out?

His offspeed stuff looked soft as baby sh*t

It looked exactly like his Game 1 WS outing

Damn I need a running list of who we are allowed to trash on this thread. I knew Maldy was fair game… but JV, Altuve? Here's hoping Tuck doesn't go 0-5 next game.
