Houston Astros Baseball & MLB Discussions

Management should send Chaz to SL until he finds his hitting form. I don’t understand the reluctance to make common sense decisions that a Little Leaguer would recommend?

If Chaz can’t find his hitting touch against minor league pitching, what makes the front office think Chaz will find it against MLB pitching?

Chas had one good season….i was really hoping he had turned the corner and we had something.

Maybe Dana handing CF to Meyers after Chas had IMO earned the spot, messed with his head….who knows.

But what I do know is you don’t take a guy with really, one good year, and treat him like he is a five time all-star veteran.

Chas should never have come back up when he was scuffling to hit minor league pitchers.

That’s another spot in the lineup that could be improved.

Man, we’re combining the worst luck with bad decisions. It’s amazing and terrible - kind of like Sharknado.

T2 bases loaded down 2-0.
Take Sparrghetti out NOW.

Don’t wait. Game will be over early.

Edit:
0-7 & still T2.
Surprise !

They have an open day Monday.
Why was he still pitching ?
Gritty in either way not great but better than 0-7.

Big Jon at 1st cant make that play ?
Who can ? Give them a shot.

Pitch # 49 hit the Landy’s sign but a nice outing.
Nick going 50+ the 2nd time out.

Gritty was not good again. Nick coming for his clean up spot ?

T7
César Salazar in.
2nd time up in MLB.
2-18 in 23.

Stance & delivery similar 2 usually Dominican/International guys of his size profile.
Like him to stick (so far)

And very tradeable.
Has enough that someone will want their staff to work w him.

Nick was really good….one bad pitch but otherwise showed his worth.

Dubin showed who/what he is.

Good news is that 11-0 or 1-0 is just one loss….we have the pitching advantage tomorrow to get the series win.

Then have to get the series sweep against the pale hose……

Hope DB Jr will now see fit to use Nick more than once every ten days.

.165 in 200 MLB ABs.
Hits into an easy double 1st 'Stros AB.
I like running these AAAA guys last few roster spots.
Gotta raise the floor in most places.

After the trade deadline.
If a guy like Hummel who stinks in 200 Abs is Stros call up.
The obvious call up guys = better as trade prices without an MLB gander.

The young guys aren’t gonna mature in Sugarland. You gotta put them out there. And if you’re losing then what are the opportunity costs? Of course you’re paying other people to not play, but better to pay someone not to play than pay them to kill you.

Keep track of pollard’s personnel posts. He assigns people into their appropriate diaspora:

Gas cans
Tomato cans

I can’t even type that without laughing.

It’s just being run like the path of least resistance. I know about the injuries. But part of running a pro franchise is knowing when injuries have sunk your season and knowing how to re-group and build back better.

There are things you can do to strengthen the long game that aren’t part of playing catch-up in a miserable division. Part of that is letting the kids play. You’re still drawing 35k with dog doo doo results. Playing Loperfido 50 games isn’t gonna affect that in the abstract. It is gonna make you better next year, though.
