Dude was 2/5 today. He's not the one to blame….
He has done well, but his presence does not protect Yordan at all. I think that's evident.

Wrote this week about how competitive balance picks might get traded before the draft. The Royals just announced they have acquired Hunter Harvey from the Nationals for third baseman Cayden Wallace and a competitive balance pick, No. 39 overall. https://t.co/sYcbSD8IbK

I still just can't comprehend how you don't score a run in the 10th with your 1-4 hitters up and a free runner at 2nd

Nah…. Just still mind boggling to me even though I've seen the movie 100 times
We put up a great fight. Those 5 pitches it took to get 3 outs were amazing theater.tjack16 said:

I must say I was pleasantly surprised by Arrighetti today. I for sure thought he'd give up more than just one run.
There's probably only a dozen players in the AL that would give an opposing manager a second thought of pitching around Yordan in a situation like that. Unfortunately, we have one of those dozen sitting on the bench right now.
If your critique of Diaz is that he's not Yordan or Tucker, than I guess I don't have a response to that.

Losing to the rangerettes feels like losing to the sips - I hate it!
As much as I hate the Rangers, their closer is 15/15. The time to win was in the 9th, but NY took the bat out of Altuves hands.

Ok.
Altuve's line drive also had a >.500 xBA, so more "baseball Bielak that sometimes".

Yeah, plus all the hard contact that fell just foul. Had to of been four of those go against the Astros. It happens.

It was bleak early June, but look who’s back
the Astros' schedule after the break to September 1st is very difficult

Miguel Ullola with 5 shutout innings. Remember the name…….

Halos up 2-1 top of the ninth
Angels win to keep us one game back!! Today wasn't a total loss
Tuned out with all the Trump stuff going on. Knew the "beating bad teams at home" thing couldn't last forever.
At least the Halos did us a solid again. Get the series win with Ronel today please

We also made the playoffs last year by the hair of our chin so that shouldn't be an aspirational goal. We still have a very tough road ahead but obviously we should all be much more optimistic with how they have played the last month.
Been in vacation and without power at the house. Have tickets for the scout day, so I'll be at the juice box today for the game.
While i was at my parents house, i found these gems in my parent's house. These are folders. Unused and pristine.

Happy draft day.
Lets not also forget the EXTRA first round pick we would have if dusty wasn't a complete moron and played diaz last year. Diaz would have easily won rookie of the year over gunner Henderson if dusty even plays him every other day and split time with maldy.
Gunner had over 200 more ABs than Diaz and similar numbers. That's nauseating we could have had 2 first round picks today and almost went to WS again.
Thanks dusty you putz

Justin Verlander threw 25 pitches in the bullpen a bit ago. He threw all his pitches without incident.

We need "Bad" Max today.

$10 says it's gets doubled. The strategy right now is clear. Walk him and take your chances with whoever is behind him.
Is it just me or does it seem like Yordan has lost a bit of his power? Maybe it's b/c he's getting pitched around, but it seems like he's fallen off a bit. I'm sure someone can come up with some stats to quantify it.

I miss AJs handwritten line ups.

I think he is being pitched around b/c his exit velocity is still insanely high as the dude rips the ball through the infield regularly. He just isn't seeing good pitches right now b/c there's no consistent threat over his shoulder.
Latest notes from Baseball America on our first round pick:
28. Astros Tyson Lewis, SS, Millard West HS, Omaha, Neb.
We connected Lewis to the Astros on Friday, although Tommy White remains an interesting option since he's available and Houston is one of the teams most commonly tied to him. As mentioned in the previous pick, Morlando is an option for the Astros as well.

Got to walk the field and get closer to Julia.
