We suck again!
Not having Kyle and Yordan doesnât help, but ultimately this is who this team is, a team that gets 26 out shut out by a guy pitching for the third time in his life.
Tear this shit down to the studs. I will be fascinated to see what Crane does. I canât imagine heâll capitulate, but who knows, I am wrong more than occasionally.
Congratulations to Cannon. Hell of an accomplishment just to pitch at this level let alone shut out what is allegedly a MLB team for your first career win.
Without taking away from that, the Astros are pretty fucking terrible. Iâm going to continue drinking.
Hereâs the Scorecard for last night:
Interestingly, Derek Thomas, last nightâs HPU, is in the top 5 for accuracy this season, and by all accounts generally has a really good command of the zone.
He had a significant number of awful misses last night, mostly pitches in the zone he called balls.
Did you see the missed checked swing call in the Dodgers-Rockies game last night? Hernandez checked his swing or didnât on a 2-2 count with two outs in the top of the 9th, trailing by a run. 1B ump ruled it a checked swing, next pitch went out of the park for a 3-run homer, and the Dodgers closed it out for the win. The Rockies were a bit perturbed.
There are exactly 5 teams in the majors worse than the Astros. This season cannot be salvaged, and if anyone in management thinks it can, they are deluding themselves.
I did, and it was awful.
There was no way that wasnât a swing, and the Rockies had a definite beef about it.
