Miley



...he's at it again.  He's got to be tipping his pitches.  I find it hard to believe they are just sitting on his cutter.

He's got the first inning blues something fierce recently.  I can't explain it.

Miley is a wreck. He’s out after getting three outs. I feel bad for him, but they absolutely cannot let him pitch in the postseason.

Bregman walks,  Yordan fouls off several pitches (strike one should have been driven to Mars) then grounds softly to second.

2nd baseman dives snags it and flips it to the bag all in one motion to start the 4-6-3.

Tip of the cap.

3 straight 2 out hits get a run in for the Angels.

First was a shift fuck single.  Second was a nice inside out to right.

Third was a smash double in the LF cornet by pooholes.

Tucker chops one to 1st, runners to 2nd/3rd.

Machete grounds out  to 3rd, Yuli doesn't try to score.

2 outs.

Up to Straw. He flies out to center.

All this was against Jewell (not the singer); Sandoval was on a pitch limit.

Post by: Astros Fan in Big D on September 21, 2019, 07:45:42 pm
That would have been a tough throw home had Yuli gone home.

Urquidy out.

Overall good job. In the second the got 3 consecutive pop ups.  The first one landed after knicking the glove of Altuve allowing the 4th run to score. 

Needed to finish the 4th better.  He fell behind Simmons and Pujols and they both took advantage.

Bregman flies out “And have is have, however men do catch.”

Tucker hits a sky high foul pop up that bounces off the catcher's glove, eventually legs out a double to left center
Stubbs walks,  ball 4 is a wp, Tucker to 3rd
Toro hits for Straw, hits a SAC F9, Tucker scores
Springer Ks swinging
Pitching change: Buttrey
Altuve reaches on an infield hit,  Stubbs cut down easily at third.  Thought the ball got through the infield. It didn't.

I have to decide if I am setting and alarm for 2.00 am to watch, not knowing the line up isn't helping.

AJ said Correa's exit was planned.

Talked about Miley's frame of mind,  acknowledged that he's only got 1 start before decisions have to be made.

For being a fucking giraffe, Tucker runs really well.

Agreed.  Lidge was the baby giraffe, is Tucker a full grown one?

I think so. Tucker isn’t uncoordinated, he’s just tall and lanky. He’s built like Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio, and both of them could run too. It’s just awkward to see nowadays.

For me, I just couldn't trust Miley. I know that’s harsh, but it’s not that he’s had a rough outing or two. He’s been shockingly horrible for his last six or so starts. Like, having no business in the big leagues horrible. I don’t know what happened, and I feel for the guy because until August he’d been having a good year. But it’s the postseason...hard decisions have to be made.

Totally agree.

Who is the 4th starter?

Gotta be Urquidy or Valdez.

I agree and that prospect is only slightly less worrisome than Miley.

Perhaps it's naive, but I have confidence in Urquidy. He just seems bulldog tough.

Much moreso than Valdez.  He just can't throw  strikes with regularity, but when he does, damn is he good.

I’m right there with you.

I think in a 5 game series Miley is on the roster along with Urquidy. Miley starts with a short leash. Sometimes when you have a “new season” (post-season) it can be a mental reset.

Would Hinch and the Nerd Cave think about an opener for Miley?  Rondon?  Devo?

I may trust Valdez less than Miley.

Me too. Miley at least has some skins on the wall.

Might be choosing between high wire over crocodiles vs sharks though.

Is that Queen's pawn or King's knight?
