Yordan hasn't had a scheduled off day in awhile and they're in a stretchof 18 straight games, I understand it.
Yeah next off day is Sept 3 and this stretch has a lot of tough matchups.
Whatever. He can have a day off when Tucker comes back.
Of course that would be March 29, 2025 but still.

Yordan has been a little banged up all year. They're gonna give him days off.
I'm fine with it. Four game lead and a day game after a night game before a tough stretch. Do it now against a good team.

39-22 record (.639) since Tucker got hurt. Obviously you want him back, but still, what a record.
Feels so good, feelin' good again.
With no Yordan and three rookies, why not? Let's have fun!linkdude said:— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) August 18, 2024we're scoring 9 runs today
oh boy, that looks like a spring training lineup
Astros are 35-18 since Abreu was sacked
that was the turning point
that was the turning point
Justin Verlander is tentatively scheduled to make his return on Wednesday against the Red Sox, Joe Espada said. Yusei Kikuchi pitches tomorrow and Ronel Blanco goes on Tuesday.

Espada also said there’s a “strong possibility” Bregman could play against the Red Sox. He’s yet to hit or throw.

So once again, we go from "it's just this weekend" to "maybe he'll play the next series"
Penn Murfee was supposed to pitch today with Fayetteville, but he didn’t bounce back from his first outing as the Astros were hoping. They’ll push him back a couple days.

That was June 14. June 18 was the day we lost in total don't give a **** mode to the White Sox in Chicago. There was team meeting after that loss (whether you think those matter or not) where allegedly Espada and JV lit into everyone. After that game Espada became much more animated on the bench and has been ejected multiple times sticking up for his players.
Since then we have been winning and Seattle has been losing. There is a 15 game turn around in that window.
That little window June 14-18 seems to be the nexus for turning everything around.
Joe Espada says Yordan Alvarez is just getting the day off.

They are, but the Marlins sold after their W. The arlingtonions just fell off.
Next press release will be announcing Bregman, Verlander, Tucker, McCullers, and Garcia's retirements.EastCoastAgNc said:Espada also said there’s a “strong possibility” Bregman could play against the Red Sox. He’s yet to hit or throw.

This is the worst Astros lineup I can remember in the last decade.linkdude said:— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) August 18, 2024we're scoring 9 runs today
On the other hand, these guys all rake against AAA pitching, which is basically what the White Sox have.
6-2 Astros.
The Mariners are 16-23 since Raleigh said "always good when the Astros lose"
— Michael Schwab (@michaelschwab13) August 18, 2024
They were leading the division by 5.5 games that day.
They are now are 4 games back.
I guess... It's always good when the Mariners lose, right? https://t.co/7mnjsuTLca
We still have series against the phillies and Orioles on the road. I would hold off on gloating until we clear the gauntlet

Way to go Schwab, you just jinxed us in the other direction. You idiot! Don't ever tempt the baseball gods, they have a sick and demented sense of humor.
What's her @?
Not gloating at all, I'm well aware of what lies in wait. Just embracing the hate.

Framber Valdez is 7-0 with a 2.68 ERA in his last nine starts, with the Astros going 9-0 in those starts. The Astros’ last defeat with Valdez on the mound came against the White Sox on June 18 – two months ago today.

Rookies on the IF corners today.
Some on this board... in May/JuneProsperdick said:
Rangerettes are now rooting for losses for a better draft pick. Oh how the "mighty" have fallen. When was the last time we did that, a decade ago?
Nice seeing good Framber in the 1st
That knockout pitch was absolutely dirty
