vs. ASTROS, 5/26

I'm glad that I always have fairly low expectations so things like this don't disappoint me. If they are good, I'm rather pleasantly surprised. I notice as I get older, I don't live and die with each game. Too many other things in life far more deserving of that type of attention, I believe. :)

I agree. No Miller this year and no O'Day next year. Might as well get that going this year...bring up Drake, Gamboa, Wright, Gausman when he is back, hope Garcia gets well and better, and get the cheaper arms going in the pen and rotation. Get rid of Matusz, Norris, trade Hunter, O'Day.... This will be more likely obviously if we fall out of contention.

Drake and Wright are already on the team.

Matusz keeps his scoreless streak. Dude is a baller.

4 of 8 for inherited runners this year. Not good, but also an extremely small sample size.

.185/.214/.296 against lefties coming into tonight, which I believe is his job.

.242/.409/.364 against righties. Too many walks, but low average and low ISO.

In other words...he's been pretty good, but this is the game thread. Not a good place for actual analysis.

But it is not for a lack of effort.

Because we're better than the Marlins which means we're supposed to beat them every time, duh. That's how baseball works /s

This is either brilliant in its laconic humor, or indicative of a child who has stolen the babysitter's iPad...

    • Yes and at one point was a higher rated prospect in their system than Aaron Judge. It took awhile with the bat but he was always an amazing athlete with the ability for defensive wizardry. 
    • Does anybody know that he is an ex Yankee?
    • I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.
    • A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.  
    • I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.
