Astros @ Mariners, August 30, 2021

So far it’s good Stanek.

There is logic in that if Stanek throws strikes.

Stanek’s stuff is not in question. It’s consistently commanding it that is.

You know better than to say that.

I wonder if Graveman needs extra time to get warm?

Maybe because of his starter background?

For you, maybe.

Stanek strikes out the side

Got lucky there.

In post game, someone needs to ask Dusty why Graveman wasn’t in.

BBGs gave you one.

Lucky??? WTF???

That was the really good version of Ryne Stanek. He was throwing quality pitches.

Silver lining: Graveman will now be available tomorrow.

Enough. Ryne Stanek has been good for the team and he has closers’ stuff. He’s not a bad option in the eighth inning, though I prefer Graveman.

He has been good for quite a while.

I just meant the team got Graveman specifically for that spot.

Dusty chose not to use him but it worked out.

Brantley strikes out.

They got Stanek for that spot too. Nothing lucky about Stanek’s inning.

I agree that Stanek kicked ass.

Nothing lucky about his results there.

Correa grounds out.

I agree. He’s only been scored upon in two innings since the beginning of August. The only really bad outing in that stretch was the extra-inning game on Sunday at home against the Mariners where Graveman and Pressly allowed runs, too.
