Title: Astros @ Fish 7/7/11
Post by: Mr. Happy on July 07, 2011, 06:27:57 pm: Happ is nibbling again. It's killing me. Again. Two on and one out. Ramirez at bat.

Post by: Mr. Happy on July 07, 2011, 06:31:34 pm: Happ bows his neck and gets out of it. 0-0 Top 2

Post by: Mr. Happy on July 07, 2011, 06:41:54 pm: Happ starts nibbling right off the bat in the second inning, walking a hitter.

He's killing me.

Post by: Matt on July 07, 2011, 06:48:00 pm: I thought he was going to give up the homer in the first instead of the second so I guess that's progress.

Post by: Mr. Happy on July 07, 2011, 07:00:53 pm: Another leadoff walk. Sigh.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fish 7/7/11
Post by: Limey on July 07, 2011, 07:10:22 pm: Hand nibbling also? I can't see the game, but he's walked 3 (and given up no hits).

Post by: Mr. Happy on July 07, 2011, 07:19:29 pm: Another walk.

Post by: Mr. Happy on July 07, 2011, 07:20:46 pm: At 76 pitches with one out in the fourth. Get ready for a long night, bullpen. Again.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fish 7/7/11
Post by: Mr. Happy on July 07, 2011, 07:25:38 pm: Well over 80 pitches through four, thanks to five K's and six BB's.

Yep. He's really long in the tooth too to be playing out there.

Post by: Mr. Happy on July 07, 2011, 07:44:25 pm: Two more runs score. 4-0 Given that their hurler is looking like Cy Young, we don't have a shot.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fish 7/7/11
Post by: Mr. Happy on July 07, 2011, 08:04:47 pm: Another shit performance from Happ. In my opinion, he needs to totally change his approach and start keeping the ball down.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fish 7/7/11
Post by: Mr. Happy on July 07, 2011, 08:11:59 pm: We're fucking pathetic at the plate.

He can work on that at OKC.

Does he have options? If he does, it'd surprise me.

Who the hell do you want to start in his place? Aneury? Figueroa? I mean, really, as bad as Happ is there is no one who's close to challenging for a rotation spot. They need to convince him somehow to pitch to guys. He's got pretty decent stuff. I'm baffled about why he refuses to throw strikes.

Also, ballgame over. 3-hit shutout.
Title: Re: Astros @ Fish 7/7/11
Post by: jbm on July 07, 2011, 08:58:47 pm: A fitting end to that game. I assume he thought there were two outs, as there would be no need to get an extra base down five.

While at Central Market earlier tonight a woman had her toddler dressed in a Pujols replica jersey t-shirt. I had a notion to call CPS. Should have.

This. If management thinks he's not ready, go with Aneury.
