On paper, Houston is dominant.  Our pitching will need to move up one more notch.  This isn't an opponent where your hitting is likely to get healthy.

 

 

The interesting thing is we handled Cease but made the lesser guys look like Cy Young and Greg Maddux

Pressley is on IL now for Houston. Tucker sat out last night. Not sure the extent of his injury. 
 

Need to get bottom of order out in Houston. Mancini and Vasquez deepened their lineup with Brantley out for year.

Gotta win the first one. The central time extra hour helps us a little bit. The momentum from last night’s win should carry into game one. A Gunnar call up is what we need. 
 

These are our last 6 games until rosters expand to 28. I’m thinking that’s when Hall comes up. He can get 1-2 more relief outings in. 
 

Do they still have the trash cans there?

You really think Hall will make a huge difference. He wasn’t good in that call up start. I really don’t expect him to do any better than  Vespi or Garcia. I think some of you guys are overly excited by the name. I think his impact this year is going to break even at best. That’s if we don’t get another meltdown that costs us another game.

Would love to get tomorrows game so that we can head into the Verlander vs B-Lineup Sunday game with the series in hand. 

1-0. We don’t really have a B lineup anymore, since we called up Stowers and Vavra. Chirinos is pretty much your typical back up C. I see no reason to start McKenna until we face a LH SP.

    • I think yesterday was the nail in the coffin for him being on the playoff roster, assuming we make it.
    • I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005.  2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up.  Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking.  2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back.  Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year.  The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him. 
    • I know …. Gotcha. Trade away Stowers & Norby for Garbage and pick up Rivera & Jiminez. And be surprised when you offense stinks. 
    • You could cut and paste this write up for about every team in the organization. 
    • It’s because the strategies that they are taught and employ work much better in the minors with pitchers with worse stuff and command than in the majors.  This, in turn, inflates their minor league stats.  The good news is that thus far after an adjustment period those players do seem to adjust and do well. 
    • This was the lineup today: The problem is injuries. Hyde didn't have to run out this sort of lineup in May or June. You can nitpick about whether these were the right nine to start, but these are the players on the roster right now and it's because guys who were here in the winning months are not available.
    • I think you agree Roy. The injuries are one thing, but combining them with the continual influx of rookies/ near-rookies - (as promising as they may be) creates instability.  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Norby, Kjerstad, Povich, even Stowers.  The past two years: Rutschman and Henderson. One rookie, a solid unremarkable, yet reliable core that had been playing together for several years. Maybe Elias needs to answer for this. I’m not buying the injury excuse for position players. The pitching - amazing job for the injury plague (Kimbrel not included). Have to wonder if these injuries have something to do with the training staff don’t you?
