Tuesday, September 19: Battle of AL's top two division leaders continues in Houston

[Billy F-Face3]

I said earlier I'd try Flaherty in the bullpen but when I said that I thought he would get more rest coming off his previous start.

And the Jack Flaherty bullpen era starts.

Everyone cross your fingers.

This is a temporary move because Flaherty is a free agent at the end of this season.

It's not like his last start lasted that long.

[dzorange]

I’m honestly excited to see if he can be a boost to the bullpen

Don’t forget about Basallo.

His start Friday was pretty short, 3 days rest is probably enough

Flaherty may be just what doctor ordered for the Bullpen.

Exactly.  I mean, it was impressive power to go opposite field like that and he hits the ball hard but people are acting like it was out of every park.  That's a loud out practically everywhere else.

I definitely got fooled. I thought it hit off the back wall.  Looks like on replay it dropped into the first row. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Freaking Altuve.

[Gurgi]

Alteuve is just amazing.  If he wasnt such a cheater I would really love the guy.

[forphase1]

I hate him,  but Altuve is just so good.

agreed

The ball comes off his bat different than most. And that was the observation in Spring Training. Couldn’t be any more happy that Kerstad is here.

[Moose Milligan]

This is weird and random and and silly but I cannot stand how Flaherty constantly flips the ball from his glove to his hand all the time.  It makes me want to throw the remote through the TV.  And he does it ALL THE TIME.
