Remember when the Astros starting pitching was considered an overall bright spot? Ah, the good ol' days.

Peacock is just piping pitches.

Sneed warming up in the bullpen. We're in the 1st inning

MRaup · « **Reply #6 on:** June 27, 2019, 01:28:48 pm »

Also, thank god we sacrificed the position player pitchers last night. Now the bullpen can get their brains beat in today by a shitty, bottom or the barrel NL team.

Unfortunately, Max Stassi is unavailable for relief tonight. Because he's catching.

Last 5 starts before today for Peacock... 4.45 ERA might be time to make an early move for a starter

That reminds me, who is the emergency catcher? I would assume Aledmys if he's healthy but I can't think of any real candidate on this roster.

I doubt very seriously he could get into the crouch. Although on the plus side the chest protector might be superfluous.

Anyway, it would be good to be able to keep his bat in the lineup.

Peacock can't throw on target to first, either.

Of course that Josh rocket turns into an easy 3U double play.

Good to see that vintage Yuli line drive though.

Of course. I am basing my super scientific diagnosis on the play we saw the other night that led him to lay down on the field in pain and the play we didn't see where he damaged his knee in some more serious fashion.

I realize I'm leaving out the possibility of a home massage without a happy ending.

Pretty much the only highlight of this game so far.

Always fun when a mediocre former teammate shoves it squarely up your ass by doing nothing but throwing hittable strikes that are inexplicably being watched.

For their last 16 hits, the Astros have scored 2 runs. The Pirates, over the same period have had 24 hits and scored 21 runs.

Unless we're trading about 12 people, I don't think it's going to do much to move the needle. The roster with very few exceptions has been fucking putrid for just about all of the last 10+ games.
