The update hadn't changed since last night. Not playing in this series and day-to-day beyond that. Wouldn't say if he could play if the playoffs started today (not sure if that's exactly how the question was framed, it was about playoff availability)

Thanks everyone for the prayers and kind words. Pretty scary time right now but hoping the Astros can provide a positive distraction tonight. I hated to put that out there, but just needed some encouragement this morning.

this is the 3rd time the Astros have faced Gilbert in 2024

Gilbert threw 8 shutout innings at MMP the 1st week of May

but in the last week of May in Seattle...the Astros had 8 hits including 2 home runs and knocked Gilbert out after 6 innings. Bregman and Caratini did the damage

The fact that we swing that much at crap pitches, yet aren't highest in meatball swing % also suggests we aren't seeing enough pitches from a pitcher to know the difference.

Or the opposing pitchers have no reason to throw meatballs...

Hang in there, Ketch. Praying for peace of mind and wholeness of body. Keep your faith, and whatever is lost now will be redeemed in overflow.

This may also be of benefit to you. When I'm down, I feel better if I rant about the worthlessness of Alex Cintron.
Hey, it's a strategy.

the general issue...

the Astros' championship teams...2017 and 2022...won 101 and 106 regular season games

the Astros' runner-up teams...2019 and 2021...won 107 and 95 regular season games

the 2024 team is going to win 87 or 88 games


Other champs.
2023 - 90 wins
2021 - 88 wins
2019 - 93 wins

Would I rather win 100 or 90 games? 100, duh. But I'm not sure there is a major correlation between win totals and titles. It seems like once you make it, the odds even out significantly.

Weren't the Nationals in 2019 and Phillies in 2022 really bad for the first month or two of the season and then went on a tear from June or July to the World Series. Obviously the Phillies lost to the Astros but the Nationals kept them from winning 2nd title in 3 seasons.

Are we seriously considering Garcia and Murfee on a playoff roster, having never pitched once this season? Please tell me that's not a plan.

I would assume scott yes
The other two we just need to see how they respond and see what you have post surgery.

It could be even to see what kind of trade value they might have with arrghetti and brown looking set to roll into the rotation next year

Maybe on Scott since he's pitched all year.

As far as Garcia and Murfree they still pitch and continue their throwing programs regardless of their availability for the playoffs.

Getting updates on them doesn't mean they're prepping for the playoffs.
