Chas sucks
That's not on Espada
Chas put himself in the lineup against a righty the day he came back when Loperfido was hitting over .300?

This wasn't that bad of a loss.
This was a tip your cap type game to Anderson. He outpitched HB.
Framber's BS stunt was the one to point to as a bad loss.
Of the entire Framber saga, the funniest thing is that his "going rogue" was "pitch balls right down the pipe". His thought process was "Yainier wants this one low and outside, how about middle middle baby, that's the ticket"
That's the best part of the explanation. Framber thinking .. what would he never see coming, how about the middle of the plate with a pitch that has zero movement? Framber, you magnificent *******, you've done it again!Serviam said:Ag_07 said:

Tuck now leading the majors in HR and walks.
I get the "Chas is back let's get him in the lineup" sentiment by Joe, but he got two L/R decisions backwards.
Joey should have played yesterday and Chas today.
Caratini should have been in verses the righty yesterday not the lefty today. He got that one backwards too.
If you are going to get guys spot starts and play L/R matchups you can't get them backwards like that.

Catcher decision may have been about getting Caratini with HB and not lefty / righty. It also gives Yanier two days off in a row.
Has Caratini always caught HB?
Wonder if they played Caratini today to match him up with Brown.

One positive on this homestead is Altuve's defense. He made a number of challenging plays. Given how he has generally graded defensively the last several seasons, I think he's been a lot better this year. It's not really showing up in statcast but he's been quick turning double plays, getting lead runners and showed maneuverability to get the tag em out, throw em out DP today.
Really encouraging outing from HB other than the mistake pitch to Paris. Jamming the RHB so they can't sit on the plate would be a good evolution for him.
Big test next week in Seattle. He won't be able to go fastball as much, but with their swing and miss hopefully his slider/curve plays better.

Defense in general on this team has been much improved over last season.
Which I kind of expected with Espada at the helm.

I'd agree outside Peña. I dunno what his deal is but he's gone in the crapper since winning that GG.
Yankees big slugger doing that thing ours doesn't anymore except for that solo shot barely clearing the wall yesterday. 2-0 Janks off of Miller early.
Phils up early, 6-2
Finally have a chance to catch up on the thread...and then looked at the box score. We really lost a game in which we allowed 3 hits? Can't even blame that one on Brown or any other pitcher.
wtf
wtf

He's bat has improved so much it's hard to quible with his glove, but he hasn't been as dependable their as he was his rookie year for sure.
So I was at the game in section 109 with a great vantage point to Pena's hit and that sure as **** looked like a honerun to me. The bounce and everyone seems like it.
Don't really understand why that was reversed.

Silver lining on a crap day - looks good not to lose ground in the division.
But what a freaking missed opportunity

Did anyone have Diaz hitting about as well as 2023 Maldy after May 22nd on their bingo card?

If replay couldn't overturn that obvious of a call then it should be scrapped. Very obvious it hit the line

Diaz is hitting .264
Maldonado was at .191
I believe they appropriately applied the ground rule. Had the ball bound into the stands it would have been a home run. Because ti caromed into the field of play it was ruled a ground rule double.Boiling Denim said:Silent For Too Long said:

For those keeping score, Bregman is now 4/27 (.148) with no HRs hitting in the 4 spot since he was moved back to it on the 15th after going 8/19 (.421) with 3 HRs in the 5 or 6 spot. At what point do those numbers become not "just fan stuff" and we at least try moving him back down the lineup? I know 2015 will swear that the Bregman's woes have nothing to do with where he hits, but numbers don't lie. He is 2/20 (.100) in the last 5 games hitting at the 4 after his "mechanics change" supposedly fixed things while he was hitting 5th or 6th in the order. Strange that his mechanics tweaks don't appear to have carried over since he was moved back to the 4.
Always good when we get the L out of the way earlier in the day
Who had Chas/Yan with 3 total HR on May 22?
Nobody, but those same nobody had Singleton being a solid contributor or Meyers with the 2nd highest OPS on the team.

Chas did not get off to a good start, but he's played in less than half the team's games. I'm not going to be as harsh on him, right now.
I maintain Yainer needs to find his elevation

Espada is now 'pot committed' to Bregman in the 4-hole
We’ve acquired RHP Mike Baumann and minor league C Michael Pérez from the Orioles in exchange for C Blake Hunt. #TridentsUp

If Espada keeps forcing Bregman in the 4 hole, he's not the guy for this franchise. It shows zero feel for the game
Just saw a kid at my school this morning while I was on morning duty wearing a Jose Abreu jersey…. That's got to be a first
Brand new day, and should be a good chance to gain half games while doing absolutely nothing
Some of my students sometimes have way more faith in this Astros team than me. At they actually convince me at times not to give up on this team. Hahah

Diaz is hitting .264
Maldonado was at .191
Maldy was at .213 actually and with a largely indistinguishable slash line from Diaz
I wonder how long until Caratini becomes the catcher savior for this club. Bill Parcells has a good quote about the anointing oil
Start Dubon. Start Luperfido. It's not hard
Dubon
Peña
Altuve
Tucker
Alverez
Myers
Luperfido
Diaz
Singleton
EOT.
