None of this "I felt good but didn't get the results," or "My pitches were good".

When asked how it went but said "We got the loss. I gave up 5 runs. Any time we score 4 runs we shouldn't lose." Straight forward. To the point. He understands he has to do better.

Agreed. I also like that he was visibly angry at himself when he gave up the big homer in the 3rd. He also admitted that he got too comfortable with the lead he had and was tossing get-me-over breaking pitches that they punished him for. Don't normally hear things like that.

Agreed. It's a far cry from the lame stuff we used to hear Arrieta and Matusz talk about after they got lit up.

I appreciate his "gamer" attitude, but the fact is, he was exposed as a pitcher by a much better hitting team than the Angels or Marlins.Almost every hitter in the Houston lineup can hurt you with a big HR and they did. Back to back. Im not sure Mike Wright is ready(nor was he ready) for canonization.He's still very green and unaccomplished.At best he's a place holder for Norris if Norris can find his way to throwing well again.

He had a bad inning that could have ended if that ball hadn't taken a wicked hop on Pearce. I'm not ready to call Wright the next #1 starter, but I would like to see him continue as a starter for a while longer. I'd much rather see him starting than Norris.

I wouldn't say he was exposed I'd say he was having trouble commanding his FB and went too much with his off speed stuff. I was impressed with how he came back with two strong innings after his 5 R inning. No Arrieta he.

At one point, during the big inning, he got a bit flustered. But he settled down and I liked to see that.

      Is O’Hearn that much worse than Mountcastle at 1B?  I don’t think so.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      I understand your case and logic for Skubal  . I do like him too . However I question whether the Tigers will trade him and secondly , is Elias willing pay the high costs to acquire him ?  Knowing Elias , I’m not sure 🤷‍♂️

      Trade Proposal: Fedde & Kopech for Norby & Beavers

      By Chicago White Sox · Posted

      But that’s my point, who are all these flawless options?  By no means do you have to trade for our guys, but it’s not a stellar group of starting pitchers.  You’ll likely take on some risk with whomever you acquire.  I don’t like taking specific comments and then generalizing the whole board, but there is quite a bit of nitpicking going on from a large group of posters on almost all the SP options not named Skubal as well as some overvaluing of your lesser prospects who are unlikely to get something of value.  Getting an impactful SP in this market is going to hurt one way or the other, you just have to decide what trade offs are you willing to take. I do appreciate your viewpoints because you seem capable of saying something might be fair in terms of value, but at the same time not be a trade you’d actually make.  Personally, I think Crochet would be a massive coup for you guys at the price I just mentioned, but I can respect if you feel he’s too risky.  I’m not sure there will another SP like him available in terms of potential impact and now is the time you guys should really be going for it.

      Do we let Povich make his next start against the NYY?

      By now · Posted

      Thinking of Povich today after practicing flute--trying some note sequences that sounded way off, compared to some that were harmonically pleasing. Sometimes the biggest help to learning is find out what doesn't work. In other words, I'm betting on a good outing next time out, whether it's vs. NY or someone else. It can help to get beat up by the pros once in a while.

      Runs in the playoffs are generally at a premium, you want your best defenders in the game so you don't give away free runs. Mountcastle will be starting in the playoffs.

      We’re trotting out A lineup out there and Mounty is hitting 7th and Cowser is on the bench. Both have really ugly numbers since May 1 basically.  We’re discussing game 3 SP, why not discuss do we want Mountcastle starting in the playoffs if it’s not against a LHP?  I’d say no.  As analytic and swing decision our FO is, I bet they want to get rid of Mounty. He was a necessary dude to get us here, but not anymore. Not with Mayo behind him. Mounty might benefit numbers wise, not approach, to get away from the Wall.  Would a contender want him?  If so, which one?  I don’t see why a rebuilding team would want him.  Could we buy and sell at the deadline?
