and as a result...
Scott, Abreu, Pressly, and Hader all had to pitch tonight
Yep. 13 teams scored at least 5 tonight but we keep finding ourselves in close, low-scoring games.
And Hader deserves it.

Phillies aren't helping the cause… yikes
the Astros are catching a nice break...
playing both series vs. the Rays after the trade deadline
Tampa's lineup without Arozarena and Paredes is very weak

Verlander having fun!
Hader has 6 losses and not one of those was a blown save? All came in tie games?
Did everyone check in and admit they jumped the gun on YK. I don't need to bump anyone, right?

He deserved the win but he joined a team with a bunch of sleepy pool noodles for bats.

The first one was a blown save, agains the Jays when Schneider hit the 9th inning homer (I sadly was there). He's converted every one consecutively since.
Not sure what this "everyone" stuff is.

One was a blown save.
Winning games with the Kutchi playing will be fun times on this board ..Farmer1906 said:

Kikuchi did great. Not sure why all of you lose your minds in the first inning of a game.
And Dana is a mad genius.

I already called myself out
So what's the answer? He can only come in for a save situations? It seems like for what he's getting paid he should be able to also pitch in a tied game.Beau Holder said:Krondaddy said:

One for Wednesday night (I was on a 3 day ban) and for tonight.
I'll be in St. Thomas this week so hoping Astros can be in first while sitting on a beach earning 20% (oops, not after the market collapse today).

Did you just jump the gun on calling out people for jumping the gun? I hope not!
It's a great start ... if he performs like this a lot of us will be eating our words big time
Damn,
The Phillies aren't helping tonight.

Yainer now up to .300 on the season

Thanks Dusty
Would like to see him increase that OPS though

Don't know, also hardly care if I'm being honest. Just answering a question. I do know I'm tired of watching us score 1 or 2 without defensive help from the other team.

[everyone liked that]
Looks like the Phillies ran out either a bullpen game or their worst starter. Normally the Mariners can't hit too save their lives

The magic in getting more out of pitchers than other teams get is the way the Astros change pitch usage to maximize their efficiency and approach. pic.twitter.com/d9d6zd84XK

We can't complain we're not catching any breaks these last two games.
Nice outing by Kikuchi, and Yainer continues to impress. He even drew a walk.
Altuve's OPS has dropped below .800 and Alvarez is close to dropping below .900. Somehow Tucker still has the highest WAR on the team despite not having played for two months.
Still we're in first place and have a winning streak. After 12-24 I didn't have much optimism the season would be fun at all. Hopefully the bats heat up.
