Nonsense .. This was the Houston deadline deal that brought Verlander and he had 2 and 1/2 years left on his contract .. AND Houston got 8 mil per year ftom Detroit in cash A 3, 9 and 11 prospects….in MLB prospect rankings of our system that would be Colton Cowser, Coby Mayo, Dylan Beavers I am not saying that a short term rental of Ohtani will go for these specifically but ain’t no way our top prospects or 1-2 of any system will be the return The Astros pulled off a blockbuster trade late Thursday, acquiring former American League Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander from the Detroit Tigers.The Astros sent right-hander Franklin Perez (No. 3 Astros prospect, per MLBPipeline.com), outfielder Daz Cameron (No. 9) and catcher Jake Rogers (No. 11)

He does not resemble the pitcher I saw in Bowie and Norfolk. And it is the loss of changeup command and deception. Mechanics can be fixed.. he needs fixing

So basically Hyde has given up on this one and will get innings from Gillespie then option him back?

Tyler Wells’ improvement is also due to this organization. I think something is definitely wrong mentally or physically or both with Grayson. He is not the same pitcher he was before the injury. He needs to go to AAA to regain his mojo. I still believe his talent wii prevail.

You mean the teams that have lost more than us? Oh yeah they are great.

Logan Gillespie sucks …. Has nothing and cannot get a daggone out

This is already one long game .. 8-4 and only top of 4. If we can stop the bleeding we can get back in this

Grayson has no business being in the starting rotation for now .. something seriously wrong with his mechanics because he is nothing like the pitcher who dominated AA-AAA last year. He needs to be sent down to find his mojo. They can bring up whomever.. Cole Irvin, Spenser Watkins, Drew Rom whomever

Ain’t the beer cold, baby!!!

Has Mateo had a hit this month?

Every team has flaws and most are worse .. that’s why it is a team effort. If starting pitching was the only factor then it must be worse for all those other teams who are behind us in wins. Striving to get better players/performances is always important yes but this starting group is a part of the third best team in MLB to date.

Horrifying at bat by Mateo

Outstanding effort by Dean!!

His velocity waa definitely off tonight .. a concern as well as his command issues

Baker’s last three outings have also had too many walks

Well if he can’t pitch the eighth either then perhaps Givens or Tate do

It still doesn’t matter that he lucked out. He needs to be replaced by Cano

On Gameday his pitches are all less than 96

Hyde needs to go get him

Bautista needs to not be closing games after this

If we win this, it will be a miracle

They need to make Bautista the setup guy and Cano the closer . Bautista was 95-97 which ain’t going to work

I hate Bautista pitching here.. Cano is a better pitcher thsn Bautista in last month

My guess is Vavra

He never pitches more than 6 innings .. so we will see their bullpen
