What the heck, Hader. He sure does give up some homers.

Maybe I'm just a Hader stan but I don't mind solo shots when you're up 3. If you're up 3 with two outs, throw strikes and make them hit it. Don't nibble and create baserunners.


He does this almost every single time he comes in.

Concerning
Not sure I would go that far, but he is prone to throw a fat one from time to time.

It happens.

3-1 to start the 10-game roadie, need to get greedy.

Big game against Berrios tomorrow although he'll probably flop in comparison after Yariel's gem today. Keep the long balls flying in Toronto please.

In Hunter Brown's last 8 starts:

8 Quality Starts
49 IP
1.29 ERA
.88 WHIP
K/BB ratio of 3.31:1

He was who we thought he was.

Here's my contribution to the current run.

The other day, digging around in the closet, I found an old Astros shirt.

How old?

All that is on the front of the T-**** is 2 lines:

Astros
HOUSTON

And on the right edge of those two lines is an Astros shooting star logo, encircled with "MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL NATIONAL LEAGUE"

Under that "MLBP 2006"

I wore it during Saturday's game: W
I wore it during Sunday's game: W
Wore it today: W

Ain't washing it

Will be wearing it tomorrow.

Hah. I think I was one of the most Pro Hunter Brown guys int he last year, and I didn't think he'd be this good. He's got a shot at getting his ERA below 4 next start.

Hunter Brown is really establishing himself as a quality arm. Maybe not the strikeout guy like A Framber is, but also not prone to Framber meltdowns.

I said I thought he'd have a career second only to Verlander out of all of our starters last year

The Baltimore @ Seattle series starting tomorrow is quite the juicy one.

G. Rodriguez - Kirby
TBD - Gilbert
TBD - Miller

I guess we'll find out matchups soon enough, but we'll see how Seattle fares against B'mores bats. Chances to pick up ground on either team, but gotta root for the M's to lose 2/3, I think.

Edit: it seems like the last two games should lineup for Burnes and Suarez.

Always got to root for the division leader to lose. Division win is a guaranteed post-season spot.

For sure, I just think they get a fluky 1 run win somewhere along the way. If they want to give up the division now, by all means

Also, always root against Servais to lose....ALWAYS.

Wow

Only giants in the 80's on that list besides brown. Oswalt, Clemens, the big unit in a new league…. So many didn't do that. Wow.

31-17 since May 9 which is the best record in that period if I heard correctly. I know it was more of a relief than anything else, but beating the Yankees that day felt like a pretty big step.

Adam Wexler was bringing up one of the Nolan Ryan years, he gave up 5 runs during the stretch, but 4 were unearned!

Team is really starting to play well together, go into the break rolling make some moves hopefully for a legit 1B and another arm and I feel like this team will really turn it on 2nd half of the season.

If all healthy what will our starting rotation be??? Garcia and McCullers could possibly take this team to another level.

JRR did that with no help. He was literally a rest day for the pen.

We're finally starting to see what we thought this team could be and that's without Tucker or JV, they come back along with LuAce and suddenly we're the team NOBODY wants to face (of course we're usually that team regardless).

Not going to include Lance until he proves it.

Pretty good record when playing on foreign soil. Need to find a way to keep it rolling.

For the benefit of the younger generation, the stretch that was in that graphic for JRR is only a part of the run that year.

July 29 - 3 ER, CG win
Aug 3 - 1 ER, CG win
Aug 8 - 1 ER CG win
Aug 13 - 1 ER, CG win
Aug 18 - 1 ER, CG loss
Aug 22 - 1 run, unearned, CG win
Aug 27 - 0 runs, CG win
Sept 1 - 1 run, unearned, CG win
Sept 6 - 0 runs CG win.

Thats 9 straight complete games, 7 ER, 9 total runs. All in a 4 man rotation.

Yeah, aint nobody doing that ever again.

Don't forget, he pitched two 11 inning games that season also.

47-31 to finish with 90 wins. That seems doable, especially if we get some guys back.
