Lance Lynn must weigh 290 or so.

Is Jessica Mendoza really trying to tell me that AJ Hinch didn't know who Brantley was until last years ASG?

The Astros are going to have to vaunt like hell to get by until starting pitching help arrives. Right now, this is a three man rotation with no real answers for #4 and #5.

That's it for Valdez. Doesnt even get through one inning. Devo in with the bases loaded...

TerryPuhl21 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 11, 2019, 07:35:15 pm »

I think we’ve probably seen the last of Valdez this season. He’s dealt or stays in Round Rock.

A scorcher, bad-hop clocked him on the chin.
He tried to make a play but just turned aside, squatted, and held his head.
He left groggy, moving his jaw, and rubbing below his left ear, as he walked on on his own.
It is an mlb.com "highlight."
