Astros @ Mariners, April 11, 2026

Six pitches in, this one is over. 2-0 Mariners.

The last time I felt this helpless about the pitching was attending Lima-time’s first start of the 2000 season.

Scott Elarton was the staff ace in 2000. 4.81 era and he somehow got 17 wins. This team reminds me so much of that 2000 team.

If Crane doesn’t just go for the #1 pick (and, hence, the first pick in each subsequent round), I’m going to be disappointed.

Astros with the bases loaded, one out…Yainer caught looking.

Them Trammell with a bases clearing double!

Caught on an ABS challenge by SEA that caught the zone by a titmouse’s hair

In tonight’s unsurprising fact: The bullpen has more innings than the starters so far this season.

Dear Astros, please please PLEASE figure out a way not to be fucking horrible this year and waste a season of vintage Yordan.

We might get the Andre Dawson Memorial “MVP on a losing team”

What an absolute monster of an AB for Cam Smith!

That was probably his best AB as an Astro.

Wow.

AB’s like Cam’s are one of my favorite aspects of baseball.

Yanier’s AB would be the opposite of Cam’s.

And Yainer does what Yainer does, swings at a ball in the other fucking batter’s box to end the inning.

Fucking twiddledick.

Speaking of 2000, I’ll never forget Lance Berkman’s epic ab in the last spring game at Enron field right before opening day that year. Perry sure he’s still at 3-2 today.

Hold up. You’re allowed to strike out the 9 hole hitter?

SON OF A BITCH

Very serious n asking whether we’ll see Walter Janek this year.

Good lord, 32 degree launch angle on Yordon’s bomb last AB.
