THSfanatic Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 And the Framber experiment goes about as expected. Hey.......maybe we can start him in the 3rd inning next time to see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 U got a guy who can’t throw strikes so u use one of your best relievers to start the 1st inning. Get a 3 run lead then bring him in to see if he pitches better, I’m not getting the logic, But whatever. The lead is gone and we’re trailing now in the 5th Now we are getting smoked and evidently it’s ok to leave him out there to get hammered.

THSfanatic Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Way to go Hinch. He only gave up 7 in 3 innings. Let’s do this again in 5 days. I guess it is progress since he didn’t even make it 2/3rds of an inning against the Rangers. Losses are one thing.......denial is something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Got a chance to tour Oracle Park in San Francisco today. Gorgeous place. Hands down my favorite I have seen, just wish the Astros were in town, or any game for that matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher805 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 San Diego is next on the list. I have seen Minute Maid, Arlington, Anaheim, and now SF...San Francisco as a city was fun, but I wont be going back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Horrific pitching and defense. Altuve forgets how to catch and throw on same play. Evidently he forgot what a strike was too. Swing at balls 2 feet off the plate and then acts like he’s about to get hit when the ball is dead center. That jumping back on dead center strikes is getting old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 This opening pitcher thing is working really well. Rondon giving up 5 in 1st (so far) without an out. Brilliant strategy and great baseball on display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild74 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 This is the most pathetic pile I have ever seen Rondon and Valdez back to back game over before the first inning even over. They should be embarrassed to except a paycheck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild74 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Astros weakness has been exposed, a bunch of washed up relievers and starters with sore arms. Devo can't throw strikes has come in, there is a reason he can't throw strikes because they will knock the out of it. 6-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I hope Hinch will admit this “opening” pitcher thing is flat out stupid and all it has done is exhaust what bullpen u have. I don’t see how this 2 game experiment can possibly be tried again. This cements Rondon as hands down the worst pitcher we have. And I’m done for the night.

THSfanatic Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Manhandled by a 1-3 pitcher with a 5.2 ERA. That tells u where we are at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got no problem with it. BUT throwing at somebody’s head cannot be tolerated. Evidently MLB agrees and slapped him and manager with suspension. The head is a kill zone.

THSfanatic Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Sitting Alvarez tonight who must be exhausted after DHing for 5 games after All Star break. But starting White. Excellent The Astros certainly may win tonight but I’m more frustrated right now than I was during the worst of times. No it’s not panic time at all. But the “above it all” attitude of Hinch is getting to me. Show a little fire. Stop with the “we know how good we are” stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THSfanatic Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 0 for 4. And a HUGE error than resulted in 2 runs i get he’s having a subpar offensive year. But I don’t see any excuse for the spotty defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
