I like the talent but he walks too many people. Gonna have to get that under control if he wants to stick.

Sure, but he's a rookie who probably should be pitching in Sugarland who's come in to fill in for Urquidy and, in my opinion, outside of the Royals game, has more than held his own despite the walks. He's been really strong mentally.

The Atlanta series told me a lot about him. He walked guys for sure, especially after getting guys to 2 strikes, but he didn't fold in that game. Once he figures out how to get MLB hitters out with 2-strikes, he's got a chance to be pretty decent.

I'm just a big fan of the dude's mental toughness.

3 bag breggy

Hate it

How you guys can like a player struggling is still beyond me.

My theory on long-haired pitchers is that you must be pretty good, because if you're not good, everyone talks **** about what a pretty boy you are.

Am I the only one who thinks Caratini has earned half the starts at catcher?

And Abreu ends all the fun. Again.

Sure fire out by Jose….

If your gonna post it own it.

I come from a long line of booers.
My grandmother used to boo the hell out of Jimmy Wynn when he went through long slumps, but that might have been because she was born in 1920 and was somewhat of a racist.
My mom has held a grudge against Enos Cabell for 44 years for whiffing in the 1980 NLCS.
When I was 14, my dad showed me how to really get a long sustained BOOOO in your chest when we went to see Jim Clancy pitch and he gave up 8 runs in 2/3rds of an inning.
I once booed Bud Adams for so long at the rodeo that I got bronchitis.
And as I close this post, Abreu strikes out again.
He has no business on this team or in this lineup.
Yeh, I'm excited that every at-bat is one step closer to the Astros getting rid of a lineup cancer.
Also, this is the Internet, and I am a well-known blue star hoar. If you take everything I say seriously, well, that's on you, friend.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to update my meme.

Professor Spaghetti isn't fazed.

I wonder if Brown got a little extra motivation to improve while seeing his teammate do the same quickly after being called up.

I'm just going to say it. There is an elite CF'er in this game and series…he doesn't wear 44 in white

great outing for Spencer

The old "Boy Named Sue" theory...

Arrighetti has the best FIP on our starting staff, and that should go down after today. 3 walks in 6 IP ain't great, but 2 hits/8 Ks will play.

wow that was phenomenal by crawford

Nice month of May Spencer put together with the exception of the Yankees game.

Spaghetti man with another solid outing.

He may end up actually being an upgrade over Urquidy.

Outstanding starting pitching in this series

I'd let Pressly get an inning today to get back on track
