0.2. 0.1. Who's counting? It's a rounding error away from 0.

Reminds me of...

The Astros have recorded 16 no-hit bids of at least 7.0 innings since 2019 (including playoffs).

That is the most such no-hit bids over a six-season span by any MLB team over the past 50 years. pic.twitter.com/IBSGZ6UNK1

Too bad it's a lot of guys who wouldn't crack the current rangers rotation

Another no-hit bid taken into the 8th inning tonight.

most no-hit bids of 7+ IP since start of 2019, including playoffs:

Astros: 17
Padres: 8
Yankees: 7

Not sure, would Fat Framber have cracked the Rangers postseason <snicker> rotation Dallas Ag?

You don't just walk in and crack the starting rotation of a 63-72 team. Especially one that just lost 9-2 to the last place A's

Yep, waiting on DallasAg to eat this crow. His "well ackshually" essays set the table, so man up and admit how incredibly wrong you were.

---

I doubt you'll ever get a mea culpa from that d-bag. He's already jerking off to Cee Dee Lamb's new contract. He can't be bothered by some team he barely follows now that they're out of contention.

Where is FPS doug doubt he shows his face here? Gotta love it Ranger fans scurry like roaches when the lights are turned on.

OK tonight might not be quite fair since Kikuchi wasn't on the Astros roster when you made your post comparing Rangers/Astros starting pitching.

He wouldn't even make the Rangers AAA rotation

Well duh. Frisco had deGrom, Scherzer and Kumar Rocker all starting one weekend earlier this season.

Dudes a ghost. He disappears faster than hope at an Aggie football game.

Yeah it would have been better if deGrom and Mad Max did their rehab stints with Round Rock but I had to work with what the baseball gods gave me..

Big ups to the Rangers for matching last year's loss total for the whole season by September 1 this year.

Dear DallasAg94,

I just want to provide you an update on SP data for the season. I know this may be a little deeper dive than you are used up. It's not anything as sophisticated as the normal statistical package you prefer like games played or innings pitched, but hopefully you can catch on. I did try and keep it simple. Nothing like xFIP or SIERA. Just the normal stuff.

I've highlighted August just to make it easy to see. The "GS" moniker is for starting pitcher so you can see the team and starters.



That's a slash line for starters in August of .182/.248/.292. That's an OPS of .540 and an OPS+ of 48. I think that's good right. I mean I feels good to me.

What do you think? Could one of these guys crack your rotation up there in the metroplex? Just one?

A statistical breakdown of significant activity.

Neither of these teams will get very far.. pitching not what it takes at this point .. much better teams right now

Do you really believe that?!

It is the tale of two diverging views, IMO.

Starting Pitching:
6. Rangers: 3.81, 96G, 510.1 IP, 455 SO. 10 SPs used so far
10. Astros: 4.24, 96G, 511.2 IP, 483 SO. 10 SPs used so far

Playoff rotation right now:
Rangers: Eovaldi, Scherzer, Lorenzen / depth: Heaney, Gray, Urena
Astros: Blanco, Framber, Brown / depth: Arrighetti, Dubin, Bloss

Possibly coming
Rangers: Mahle, deGrom, Bradford, Dunning
Astros: Garcia, Verlander

Blanco is playoff worthy, this season, but you have to admit, Framber and Brown wouldn't even be in the Top6 available Rangers SP and we're likely to get Mahle back in a couple weeks.

Let's pretend that Blanco and Eovaldi are close enough to call a wash.
Scherzer v Framber?
Lorenzen v Brown?

Your #4 and #5 are both minor league guys. If Verlander gets back, maybe we're mentioning him sliding in your playoff rotation.

ETA Garcia to the Astros hopefuls.

Ouch, that will leave a mark. Come on, statboy, show up and take your medicine like a man instead of hiding in your mod-protected safe space.

Posted on the Astros season thread, but worth posting here since i KNOW numbers guy (DallasAg94) doesn't read ours...

From the Athletic's Chandler Rome:

"Not for 56 years had a pitching staff supplied dominance like the Houston Astros did in August. Across 28 games, it posted a 2.51 ERA, struck out 291 batters and limited opponents to a .185 batting average the lowest in any month since Cleveland held hitters to a .174 mark in May 1968."

If only we had Eovaldi, Scherzer, Gray, etc...IF ONLY!!!!!!

Like milk left on the counter while you took a week long vacation and turned your AC up to 85 degrees.

For a small nugget, I give you a quote from the ding dong who likes to jump on when Astros are throwing no nos to point it out and jinx it.

To that I say "well yes they are, and thank you for pointing that out."
