As if news couldn't get any worse...Lance might be back soon

McCullers was projected as a closer at draft time. And we now need one. Boom.

Joe Espada reminds me of the Doctor from arrested development

Espada - "it looks like hader is going to be all right"

Astros fans- "phew, that's a big relief"

Espada- "I don't know that I'd take it that well, his left arm fell off, so he'll be all right handed"

Well, big opportunity for De La Orgy the next week or so

What a difference with more major leaguers in the batting order

Espada said they were hoping for good news. He never said it was good news. Not sure why everyone is freaking out.

I think Pressly isn't interested in coming back here. He really showed his ass on the way out the door.

McCullers as our closer? My liver won't make Christmas.

Hey, Billy Wagner started off righthanded before he went lefty. It could happen...

Wagner ended up in the HOF.

It could still work...kinda reverse Billy Wagner.

ETA - oops, sorry someone else already made that joke.

How much is Joe to blame for all these injuries?

He doesn't rest and rotate players nearly as much as he should throughout the season, complete opposite of Dusty

I think it was because we have the GDP of a Polynesian country on the Injured List

Joe plays with what he has. You can't rest your high leverage BP guys when you only have 2 high leverage BP guys. Hell he tried it last night and it almost costs us.

He's not to blame for the injuries themselves.

The messaging and communication about the injuries is another issue though.

I actually really like this idea. LMC has elite stuff for one inning, maybe two. Make him the closer u til Hader gets back
No matter what!
Epstein didn't do, you know, the thing...
I'm the rare Astros/Cowboys/Spurs fan. We do exist

I dunno he also has 'walk the bases loaded' type stuff. You don't usually want that kind of volatility in the ninth inning.

I assume it was autocorrect and now we know WAY too much about BadAggie.

too wild in and out of the strike zone IMO. Doesn't make for a good closer.

Actually, it would be "how to keep your cool for a full game while on a message board" taught by TexAgs users.
