RHP Josh James suffered a right quad strain and is no longer a candidate for the starting rotation. He played catch today and Astros are hopeful he’ll pitch in enough games to be in the bullpen on Opening Day.

Shit. He'll be extremely fun to watch out of the bullpen, but shit.


@Chandler_Rome: A.J. Hinch on the fifth starter competition without Josh James: “The kids that everyone will immediately go to — Whitley, Martin, Bukauskas — those guys are not options to break out of camp. They’re not ready to jump into a rotation.”

Candidates remain Peacock, Valdez, Rodgers


Rome also adds Perez & Armenteros are candidates as well.

ETA: But see McTaggart—"The fifth starter competition is essentially down to Peacock and Valdez."

Peacock. He might have won it anyway.

Yeah, it’ll be Brad. He will probably have to pitch his way out of the spot rather than the others pitching their way into it. Having said that, I hope it is the 2017 dominant version of Brad Peacock and not what we saw last year. Not that he was bad, he just didn’t look as sharp as the year before. Admittedly, that was a career year so it will be hard to repeat, but we can hope.

I think we will be fine no matter who winds up in the rotation or the bullpen. I actually think there may be a little more pressure coming out of the bullpen so Peacock might handle that better. But again, I think we are fine either way. One of the things I love about baseball is when the young kids get their shot. As such, I am really rooting for Perez, Valdez and Armenteros. Valdez just has to throw a few more strikes and he will be solid. Perez has got to move the ball around a little better and keep it in the yard. His stuff looks electric. And Armenteros, well, I really liked what I saw from him last spring. I believe he has a chance to be sneaky good. He may be the sleeper in the bunch excluding Whitley, Martin and JBB.

Cant wait for the season to get going.

McHugh was scheduled for two innings but came out after one due to back soreness.

Peacock would already have been in most (if not every) other teams’ rotation plans. They have built incredible depth in this organization.

I think James could be a force out of the pen. 7th or 8th inning shut-down guy.

No doubt.  He could also throw 100ish innings as a starter.  So could Framber, Whitley or a bunch of other guys.

I hope that Cionel Perez just tears it up in ST this year, I liked watching him in his brief appearances.

Dean Deetz has right shoulder soreness.

Deetz "is a couple of weeks away from getting into games" says McTaggart.

We'll see how well that timeline holds up.

And now is being skipped in his next start (which was scheduled for tomorrow) and won't pitch again until next weekend.

I wonder how far apart they and DK are. I don't know about all you guys, but I am worried about the starting rotation after Verlander and Cole.

I would think they are VERY far apart. If you are Dallas, if you take any number below the qualifying offer you are admitting failure. If you are Houston, anything close to the qualifying offer puts you so close to the tax threshold that your options come trade deadline time are slim and none if wanting to acquire an impact player. Now Crane could change his mind and tell Luhnow that he can go over the threshold for one year. That tax for one year wouldn’t be bad, but all I’ve heard is that they won’t go over. I would think that LA, Atlanta and Philly would offer more money than Houston in any short or long term deal.

Jim, in his post above about a ST trade, may be on to something.

Stroman should still be available. I don’t know how low Keuchel’s price would have to drop for Luhnow to give up that draft pick, but I bet it’s “pretty damn low.”

The Morton (un)signing is my most disappointing Astros experience in the last 4 or 5 years.  With each starting pitcher tweak and strain this spring training, it's all the more disappointing...

I miss Charlie and I wish we had him back right now. Having said that, I think the Astros are smart. I think there’s enough in his medicals that they thought the risk was just too great. At least that is the only way I can make sense of the decision to let him go. The proof will be in the pudding and time will tell. If he’s on the DL have the year it’ll prove to have been a good move by the Astros. If he wins 15 games then……

The wildest part is that Morton signed a relatively reasonable deal that left many here lamenting that the Astros didn’t match, yet the contract was the largest FA contract doled out in Rays history.

Yeah, I know...  I get the sneaky suspicion that the Astros will be shown to have been prudent, prescient, smart and fiscally correct about CFM before his two years are up. My disappointment is a reflection of his past performance and how much I like watching him throw his nasty filth. It was the right move but I just don’t like it for non-logical reasons.

I know what you mean. Over the last two years, I don’t know that I’ve felt prouder for any other Astros player than I have for CFM. Dude had been through a lot in his career and came out the other side on top in game 7 of the WS. He’s a champ on and off the field.

CFM throwing unhittable filth the last three innings was one of the most thrilling things I've ever seen.

Seeing him come to bat in the top of the 9th was the most excited I've ever been to see a pitcher hit.

Morton looked pretty good today in his second Spring start. Meanwhile Bregman apparently came out after making an early throw across to first and Chirinos came out after getting plunked.

Sure, because back stiffness didn’t derail Correa at all last year.

It's best not to rush a hamstring issue. Probably a cautionary move would be to let him rest it another game or two.

Yes. Do NOT fuck with hamstrings. That shit will drag on for weeks if you come back too soon

From an article I read this morn:
https://www.mlb.com/news/impact-of-corey-kluber-s-injury-on-indians
Blue Jays prospect Nate Pearson suffered a similar injury last May and missed the remainder of the season. He was throwing live BP by August.

Madbum would be great and being a lefty fits. Stroman would be my choice if I had one. I just love the way the guy plays. Robbie Ray would still be on my list. Aaron Sanchez has been really good to start the year for Toronto but he has had some major injury issues in his past. Arizona would have to eat quite a bit of the money but Zack Greinke would be pretty great.

Well, that's better than the other way around, I suppose.

I think Diaz is "day to day". Which means he'll be back after the All Star break.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Here are Springer's comments after coming out of Sunday's game:

https://twitter.com/brianmctaggart/status/1130223366911213569?s=19

Synopsis:
-been going on for an amount of time that he's not going to share
-got a little tighter
-coming out was about 'being smart'
-no tests planned that as far as he knows
-wouldn't say yay or nay for Monday's game (I'd say nay, but so far AJ has not requested my input on anything)

It is just my opinion, but I hope George goes to the DL if necessary. I don’t want him back unless he is 100%. The Astros went thru this with Correa last year and it didn’t go so well.

Take your time George and get well.

That explains why he went from good to shit so quick.  Looking at his games logs it seems pretty clear his elbow blew up after pitching in Oakland in mid-April.

Rodgers has always been a Luhnow favorite.

How good has the pitching been?  Right now the highest ERA on the active pitching staff is Devo's 5.60.  Everyone else is 4.56 (James) or below.  All 5 current starters are below 4.00.

From a friend. Whitley is throwing Thursday, I think.
It is also pretty easy to track the rotation on MILB.com -and they usually post probables early in the day.

Not always easy to have certainty, especially with the tandems..  When I went last week, I followed the prior weeks tandem scheduling.  Based on that progression, it would have been Whitley's tandem turn, but they used Urquidez in his debut, and pushed the Whitley tandem back a day. 

And tonight, Milb has Sneed listed as a starter.  Well, he has been used in Tandem with Whitley, but Sneed started last tandem and only went 1.2, so if he is starting tonight, is he still in a tandem with Whitley (they usually alternate starting)?  I am going to assume that Whitley and Sneed are no longer in tandem and that Jim is correct that Whitley is going Thursday.

Anyways, you get the point.  If they would just keep their gamenotes up to date (they are presently three days behind), it would be easier.

Sneed tonight, Whitley tomorrow is what they said last night.

He is having a good year. Theoretically he can play CF, but he is only average in the field, IMO.

Yeah, he's been out there. He's fast, but I remember his first step being late and his routes being less than perfect. Maybe he's improved that over the last year.

So currently injured Astros:
Altuve, Springer, McHugh, McCullers, Joe Smith, AlmedaMall Diaz, Stassi.

Time to recall Rex Jones
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

So when Altuve is activated, who goes down? Fisher????? I don’t see them going back to 12 pitchers. If you don’t DFA or trade White or Kemp, then Mayfield or Fisher have to go.

Tonight’s lineup has Fisher leading off. Also has Mayfield, Stubbs, White, Kemp and Marisnick. Oh, and the staring pitcher is Corbin Martin. I’ll bet no one, in their wildest imagination, would have ever come up with those players together in a starting lineup against the Cubs for a REGULAR season game.

Gonna be interesting!

Pretty common with knee rehabs in my experience (soccer) --- that the surrounding larger leg muscles (quad, hamstring, gluts, and calves are more likely to get strained) to compensate for a little weakness here and there (and aging does not help the process).

But apologies Lefty, did not mean to insinuate that Altuve has a knee issue (it is the probably the reciprocal reaction to rehabing fatigued leg muscles coming off injury).  Pretty normal feedback loop for the inside medical sports groupies.

No need to apologize, I just hadn't heard that about Altuve until you mentioned it.  Then I saw the interview. 

I've been down that road before with both knees, and you're absolutely right about the rehab process.

This is going to (continue to) chew the hell out of their bullpen. They basically have no other way to win right now but to get good starting pitching and squeeze out a few dinks and dunks and maybe a solo homer or two from what's left of their offense. That's save situations and other high leverage innings for their bullpen, night after night. Pressley and Osuna are already feeling the strain...
When the Clark is dead, Spack will eat his spleen. Before he dies, Spack will put his posts under the knife so the Clark will see his threads wiped out forever...

You are correct in that the depth of this organization is about to be tested. I am both anxious and excited to see it. I’m sure it will be frustrating at times but I am kind of looking forward to seeing what we’re made of.

But I would like the A team back as quickly as possible please

I would disagree with the last part. Yes not all appearances are created equal but AJ does a great job of spreading out the workload

Osuna 24 games 24⅓ innings
Pressly 22 games 24⅓ innings
Harris 20 games 18 innings
Rondon 20 games 18 innings
James 19 games 27⅔ innings
Devo 18 games 19⅔ innings

While "doing some things" and "getting treatment" at his house today he felt something in his ribs, per Hinch

AJ had him in tonight and had to redo the lineup card.

Really surprised were not looking at a regular infield of Yuli-Bregman-Kemp-Alvarez now.

Defense will be ok, but there is a lot of run production on the IL.

Yuli at 3rd, Bregman at SS, Kemp at 2nd, Alvarez at 1st. Maybe Tucker in the OF at some point if Fisher struggles? All you roster experts can explain how this would work out.

I agree Jim. I think ultimately we can weather the storm. It may be frustrating at times. Hell, it may even be ugly at times, but I think we ultimately pull through this because of the depth and quality of the players in this organization. Having said that, the starting pitching will need to be fixed to help weather this storm. Cole needs to tighten up just a little bit. Verlander, Miley and Peacock are fine. Beyond those four, someone is going to have to really step up like Fiers and Peacock did in 2017, or a trade for the starter will have to be made now, not at the deadline.

The organization has built a great culture at AAA. Call ups are ready to play. Stubbs, Mayfield and Fisher contributing immediately. James and Valdez really performed in super high pressure pennant race.

My good RR source told me the attitude in the clubhouse is fantastic. Most knew they were blocked (before the injuries) but were not unhappy. The Astros treat them so well they do not want to leave.

Weak, Carlos, very  weak. How does a massage break your ribs?

This could affect his long-term future with the team.

If you don’t think Luhnow has already considered that Bregman’s contract looks even better if he’s a full time SS, folks, think again.

Carlos makes a point to not get in the middle of "walk off" celebrations, trying to protect himself.

That was obvious after his walkoff single recently. He kept them away from him, and his teammates did not gang up on him.

From the above list, Griffey's to me is a no doubt #1. What tha crap man?

Quote
# 6. According to the legend of Clarence Blethen, the Red Sox rookie pitcher in 1923 thought he looked meaner without his false teeth when he was on the mound. He supposedly didn't think to put them back in his mouth while he batted. That led to Blethen sliding into second base and getting bit in the posterior by his own teeth.

Correa's will be on some future lists no doubt.

I was once taking off my boots using a bootjack, and after getting the first off and working on the second, my heel slipped an kicked the nail off my big toe.  Most excruciating pain I could imagine.  It was a Saturday night, and it was Tuesday before I could get to the doctor.  Alcohol may have been involved.

From the above list, Griffey's to me is a no doubt #1. What tha crap man?

Correa's will be on some future lists no doubt.

I coached a playoff series against Easterly (#2) while I was in Brenham.
Often wrong, but never in doubt.

Warning, boring massage story ahead... be warned, pull the eject cord on this post in five, four, three, two....

Holy crap, why did Alkie never tell us a story of broken bones with all the rub girls we provided him! That guy was wiry and quick I suppose. So last week I could not sleep because of a muscle spasm in my upper back near the shoulder blade. The muscle knot, about the size of a pea but very pronounced, would push against a nerve when I would lay down to sleep... shooting some major pain down my right arm. The only time the knot would not pinch the nerve was when I was standing up and the only thing I felt was the soreness from the muscle. I tried everything to get rid of the knot, looked at every youtube video from a physical therapist on how to work the muscle spasm into submission. When I got tired of not sleeping, I finally relented and went to my family doctor and begged... errr... asked for painkillers or even a cortisone shot. Doc said only an orthopedist can inject cortisone and he recommended one. I called the doctor to make an appointment and he said he'd see me late June. WTF! I'm in pain now... so shoot me up now... not in late June. He said get in line. Apparently sports-related injuries of this kind are common. Yes, I hurt my shoulder/upper back working out and playing/practicing for a National Tournamet for volleyball in June. What made it worse was the advice the ortho-doc gave me "Hey, there are a ton of great videos on YouTube on how to work that muscle spasm out. You should try looking at some of them." Ugh! Oddly enough, I went back and noticed one titled "Give yourself a massage to work out knots in your back". Okay, you've peaked my interest.

Apparently there are methods to self-massage yourself (back away people, I'm not talking about that... stay with me). There are also tools that physical therapist use including this contraption.  Straight out of the old English torture chambers looks like... or something used in filthy shades of gray. Any how, I decided why not pay someone to go ahead and give me an upper shoulder/back massage. After looking through where to go and discounting almost all of them, I found a place... at Whole Foods. So off I went. I walk in (no appointment necessary), tell the burly 5'8" Russian bald dude (I think he was Russian, he had an accent) "Massage now, upper right side, back... stat!" So he sat me on a chair, said he charged by increments of 20 minutes, I said fine because I figured he can work out a knot the size of a pea in 20. "Deal" says I and let the massaging begin!

I put my face into the chair head rest leaning forward onto a circular oh-ring shaped cushion. Oh-ring because that is the sound I kept making when he started the deep rub. He stopped several times to gently and kindly tell me to "man up and stop crying!" (not in those precise words, but the meaning was clear). He had some serious massaging to do to get that bugger. I don't know this for a fact but I suspect muscle spasms have a mind of their own and dodge and weave in order to avoid the roaming hands of a professional massuse. He went at the muscle from every angle possible including one very uncomfortable (for me) position from the front of the chair while stepping up a few pegs on the front of the chair legs to get leverage. Now the "oh" yelps were for a very different reason, man croutch is not very complimentary to having to pay for this treatment. I wanted a discount for having to endure this procedure. But he was determined and he went after that knot. And I will admit there were a few times I felt the wind go out of my lungs with the attack mode he used to get that knot to tap out. After twenty minutes he asked if I felt better and I said "Yes" through the tears. I stood up and he had to catch me because I almost went to my knees from the shear trauma of being beat up from the neck to shoulder area. And I paid him.

A day later the knot came back. Damnit! I have to admit the cortisone shot being administered by some shady underground, fight-club, nefarious means was very inviting to me. But I was given muscle relaxers by my own doctor the first time I saw him and within three days, the knot had relented and now after five days it's gone. Or is in hiding for now. I'll always remember my very first massage for possibly all the wrong reasons. I did feel better for a few hours that day, but also felt the need to shower away the shame and tears as well... several times.

What were we talking about again.... I forgot.

I was just perusing the injury list and it is sobering:

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/fantasy/injuries/#team117

How injured is Altuve? He hasn't been himself as a player all season even when he wasn't injured. What level of play will he have when he returns?

Springer is listed with a "Grade 2" hamstring pull. I'm not an expert, but when they give it a grade that can't be good. We may not see George until after the ASB. Correa was having great year before he was injured and we will be lucky to see him before the ASB, and more likely in August.

I think every win between now and the ASB will be difficult and precious. It's possible the Astros could be challenged for the division even though that seems unlikely now. If, however, they can win enough until the team gets back to full strength around mid to late August, they will be set for a good playoff run.

Oakland got to 6.5 games back last week.   This series is big. 

Like you said,  every win the Hospital Ship Astros get is precious.

As for the injured,  McTaggart Tweeted this last night:

Quote
No real movement on any of the Astros injured players:
-- Diaz and Springer both ran and swung the bat today
-- Altuve took ground balls in early work
-- Stassi is in Houston working out
-- Joe Smith threw 20-pitch live BP in WPB
-- McHugh played catch and felt good.

The NBA Finals and baseball in May/June are not the same thing. If it was October then a hammy might not keep you out but during the season there isn't much reason to rush back

Lest we not forget that a busted knee - so busted, in fact, that it underwent surgery the very day after the Astros' postseason elimination - kept Altuve out for a portion of the regular season but not the ALDS/ALCS.

McCullers' UCL

I'm sure there were more.

Hinch during his weekly spot on MLB Radio today had some encouraging news about Altuve. He said Jose’s workout yesterday was the best workout he has had since he had knee surgery. He took BP in the cage and then asked to move to the field which they let him do. Hinch said that for the first time Altuve is able to put the proper weight on his right leg when he swings, which he hasn’t been able to do since the surgery. Hence the poor offensive numbers to start the year. He did say Altuve is sore but that “he’s sore in the right places.” They May let him do even more today if he is fine when they get to the park. Don’t expect him back however until sometime AFTER the next home stand. AJ sounded like best case scenario could be a rehab assignment after that home stand.

He also mentioned Springer. Said George is doing fine but they will error on side of caution. They will hold him back and extra game or three for sure rather than cutting it short to get him on the field. He is also taking BP and doing activities.

No real info about Diaz or Stassi.

No news on McHugh or Smith?
Rogers on the 25 man roster demonstrates the non-existent pitching depth in the organization  Hinch won't him Rogers in a game that is in doubt and apparently there is no one at AAA that is a better choice.
I am guessing that Luhnow is working overtime trying to find pitchers from other teams that he can bring on board.

They did ask him about Correa, but AJ didn’t say anything more than what we already know.

They didn’t ask him about McHugh or Smith.

They did ask about Martin and his struggles. AJ’s reply was what you would expect regarding Corbin’s control. He lamented about the fact that Martin doesn’t seem to attack hitters like they want him to. I got no hint of what they plan to do with him based off what AJ said.

One more thing, they asked about Straw and his speed, and it is clear AJ loves him. I have a feeling that if AJ has a say in it, Straw ain’t going anywhere.

I feel bad for Haniger because I know what testicular discomfort feels like.  But how the fuck did he injure it in CF?

He swung through a pitch in the 3rd or the 6th (not sure which but I think it was the 3rd) from verlander that went straight into his groin. He went to a knee. Not sure how he stayed in to finish the at bat much less take the field afterward. He didn’t come out until the 7th.

I saw the play and I’m not sure if he turned into the pitch or actually fouled it, but it was a direct hit.

I still have sympathy for him, but a little less.  He obviously was not wearing a cup. Dumbass.

He did not, but it would not have helped anyway.  The ball hit him on the opposite side of his face. 

BTW, Moran is having a nice year with the Pirates... .279, 8 HR and 32 RBI so far...

FYI, on radio this morning with Bowden and Duquette, Luhnow says Altuve should be back before Springer and Diaz. Like we’ve read/heard elsewhere, looks like rehab assignments could be forthcoming before the end of this homestand.

Update: Luhnow just said on pregame show that Diaz felt something running prior to today’s game. That has probably set him back a little.

Joe Smith is looking at a return just prior to all-star break.

It was a lazy fly ball that the LF lost sight of — let it drop 35 yards away and had to chase it down.

I think the bigger concern is his running from 2nd to 3rd and the way he came up from the slide.  None of that looked right.

Hinch was just on radio. Said Altuve is on his way to Cincinnati as we speak. He could be activated tomorrow.

AJ said Springer is going to run the bases in about an hour. If all is good he is probably headed out for rehab assignment. Could see him next week.

McHugh gonna throw one more time in minors.

Stassi going to appear in a few more games as well and.

No mention of Diaz.

No, CC wasn’t discussed. Unless they can mend bones with a potion a la Harry Potter to speed up the healing process, I’m guessing we are about 2 weeks away from hearing how close he is.

Yeah. We're only three weeks into what was optimistically expected to be a four to six week process. I wouldn't expect anything now other than "continuing to monitor."

There's a highlight of one of his strikeouts last night.  Filthy curve ball for strike three.  Looked like pre-injury quality to me.

 Best news I’ve heard all day. The week will be capped off well if I hear he’s going to the pen (I love pen McHugh) and Framber is staying in the rotation.

I would imagine so. Keeps the most options open, although it pretty much means full-time SS for Bregman (I don't really think Straw is viable there except in short stretches).

Radical thought: Altuve comes back, Tyler White is gone. Mayfield stays because you want to ensure Altuve gets time at DH some times. Although Kemp has been serviceable at second base, I'd like for them to keep Mayfield for short and second for just a little while longer.

Means going ahead and pulling the rip cord on White and Yuli goes back to first for a good stretch.

My bet would be Straw. I think Mayfield stays until Diaz is back. If Mayfield goes then you lack good options at 3rd and SS behind the starters. Kemp can do most of what Straw does, just with less speed

Yeah, maybe they've reached the end of the road with White. But I still suspect that Luhnow will try to package him in a trade rather than just give him up for absolutely nothing. Not that he has much leverage.

Don't disagree with this, my thought was a bit radical. But I also agree that you cannot afford to lose Mayfield right now with no Correa and Altuve still working his way to 100%. So your idea that it might be Straw is more possible than White, but I'd like them to go ahead and expose The Shark to waivers. It just may be that he'll make it through and choose to accept the assignment to Round Rock to get his mojo back.... because right now, he doesn't have any.

Hopefully the last week is an indication that White is starting to go on one of his patented (if infrequent) tears which will serve to increase his trade value.

That would be nice, but I suspect the days of being able to hoodwink another GM with a hot streak and a story are over.

Although this reminds me of one of my all-time favorite trade stories. Some Cubs exec "happened" to be sitting next to George Steinbrenner on a flight or at a dinner or something, and just "happened" to mention the name of some prospect (George Frazier, in my memory, but see below) and how he's lighting things up. Then he clams up and won't talk about him anymore. Before you know it, the Yankees are on the phone with the Cubs trying to put together a trade for Frazier and wind up wildly over-paying, and the Cubs walk away rubbing their hands like Mr. Burns.

Sadly, after checking his transaction history on baseball-reference.com, it seems that George Frazier couldn't possibly have been the player involved (if the story is even true). He was involved in trades involving the Cubs and separate trades involving the Yankees, but never a trade between those two clubs. Has anybody else ever heard this story? Do you remember the player(s) involved?

The Astros don't play more than 6 consecutive games between now and the ASB.  Going with 12 pitchers makes some sense.

There is an article on MLB network about Altuve being re-activated. In the article the subject of the video that was posted on here with Altuve legging out the triple was discussed. It was addressed by Jose and AJ and it appeared each was kind of surprised at the way Altuve was running in the video. I guess the medical staff would not have cleared him if he wasn’t 100% healthy, but I will not feel completely comfortable until I see him hitting like the old Jose.

Tyler White
Last 7 Games:  BA:.316 | OBP:.480 | SLG:.526 | OPS:1.006  | SO: 5 | BB: 6
Last 15 Games: BA: .273 |   OBP:.421 | SLG:.455 | OPS: .876 | SO: 14 | BB: 12
Last 30 Games: BA: .242 | OBP:.366 | SLG:.409 | OPS:.775 | SO: 21 | BB: 14
Season: BA: 235 | OBP:.343 | SLG:.342 | OPS:.685 | SO:  54 | BB: 26

He's put together a good week's worth of work.  His slugging numbers are up and so is his on-base percentage. But his walks to strikeout ratio remains about the same (his real contrinution is he's either going to walk or strikeout and on occasion he'll get a hit or two but not consistently). So he's going to strikeout at about the same clip as his three month average tells you. On average, he's basically striking out about 20 times per month. He is trending to about 110 to 120 strikeouts for the season. Last season, in 66 games he struck out 49 times. He's played in 50 games this season and has 54 strikeouts. Pretty much tells you he's at best a bench player and never a starter. He just doesn't drive in runs enough to justify a starting job. The occasional good week from him might be overlooked on a team with all the other hitters playing but not on a team that needs production from his position. The team is carrying him for now and that is costing them. Oh, by the way if you look at Yuli's stats, he does much better work than White including his last 7 days where he's been putting up better numbers. He strikes out about half the amount of time as White, so his season average in strikeouts is around 60 or so. Less strikeouts means he puts the ball in play a lot more. He doesn't walk as much as White though, but walks don't generally drive in runs and that is what you want from the 1st baseman/DH type.

BTW if you want to see who is really struggling hitting a bseball right now, take a look at Jake Marisnick's stats. It is downright ugly. Mendoza would be gloating about how much better he was than Jake. Face it, Jake is a huge drop-off from George Springer. I mean a Grand Canyon drop in production. Pitchers appreciate his defense, but during this stretch the pitching has had little margin for error. A two run lead by the opposition seems like a 10 run deficit sometimes. Plus you have pitchers trying to do too much to keep the other team at bay and wind up making mistakes in the strikezone. A lot of homeruns by the opposition lately and that is entirely trying to do too much to challenge the other team's hitters because you cannot afford to pitch corners with the lack of production from your own team.

Weird take. Springer and Marisnik has played in the same outfield a ton this season before Springer got hurt. I don't think any Astro is expecting Marisnik to replace Springer.

The lack of offensive output from the guys that are supposed to be good hitters and are sucking hind tit (or are sitting on the IL not producing at all) are much more the culprit than Marisnik falling off.

Jake is not a starter, he is a late inning replacement. Because of the injuries, he's now asked to play more and that is exposing his lack of production. Makes others have to do more in this lineup. So basically, yeah, he's not producing as a starter because he's basically not a starter and never will be. So yes, others being injured means he gets to play and that means he's producing well below Mendoza. I would rather see Straw play more than Jake for that matter. Straw is the bench player, Marisnick the starter. Should be the other way around.

So basically, yeah, he's not producing as a starter because he's basically not a starter and never will be. So yes, others being injured means he gets to play and that means he's producing well below Mendoza. I would rather see Straw play more than Jake for that matter. Straw is the bench player, Marisnick the starter. Should be the other way around.

Some of us get it, you don't like Marisnick.  I don't feel as confident as you do that Straw would be a bigger upgrade.  But, that's what's great about this place, we can disagree.

No, you don't get it. I don't dislike Marisnick at all.

You're just mistakenly focusing this team's struggles on him, that's all.

Not at all. Never said that. I said he's deep in the mire and doesn't belong in the starting lineup. Take a look at his stats and if you're going to say White doesn't belong in the starting lineup, you have to say that also applies to Marisnick. And Garret Stubbs. But right now, you have to use bench players like Marisnick to start and that is not what they bring to the club. They are bench players. Period. It's asking a lot of a good defensive late inning replacement to be a starter and produce. Marisnick is basically showing you that it is.

Nothing in what I'm saying is that I hate Marisnick. Or even White for that matter. It is what it is and I can't make either of them starters just by myopically deciding I "like" or "dislike" either one. It's about how they fit on the team not about "liking".

Marisnick started lots of games before the injuries. Stubbs is a bench player or maybe on his way back to AAA.

Yes, Stubbs has not impressed so far. It would be okay if he were a better defensive catcher but his ability as a receiver has some holes that he will need to continue to work on. As far as Marisnick being a spot starter, fine, but his stats for the last 30 days are woeful so I would think they would want *more* from a full-time starter. I get it, it's only part-time until Springer gets back and then you have Reddick, Alvarez, Brantley, and Springer *ahead* of Marisnick for the starting outfield rotation. That to me is better and not having Marisnick in his current position as a full-time starter. He serves the team better as a late inning defensive replacement and pinch runner. That is his value-add to the team.

None of that is me hating on Jake. In fact, it's about telling him he does have value... just not in his current role. He can't consistently hit a major league thrown baseball as he's proving right now.

I like Straw a lot more at the #9, second leadoff role in the lineup than Marisnick right now. IMHO of course. I just think Straw gives the team as much as Marisnick can in his role when others return and then some. I think he's a more patient hitter, makes the pitcher throw him strikes, hits the ball back up the middle a lot and runs the bases as well if not better than Marisnick. Marisnick, on the other hand, can slug better than Straw when he is occasionally spot starting. So it's what you want for a #9 hitter that will dictate who and why you would want to keep one over the other. Plus Kemp started to take some time away from Jake at #9 when everyone was healthy too because of what I think Straw can give you. So apparently there is value in both approaches at the #9, it's just what is your flavor, strawberry or vanilla.

That's not under valuing Marisnick, that just my own humble opinion. But what I do feel strongly about is when a team has to use Marisnick a lot as a starter, they get exactly what he's giving the Astros right now. Which is really woeful production offensively. Oh, and by the way, if Marisnick's knee injury is the reason he's doing badly at hitting the last 90 games he's played, then he needs to come clean to management and say it's injury that is keeping him from producing. He's not doing anyone any favors playing with an injured knee that is making him a hole in the lineup.
