    Hope the new guy can give relief so they can stop trotting Devo and Peacock out there so much. Those two are falling hard right now.

    I am concerned about the Astros. Offense is far from impressive. No tuve and no Correa. Springer tepid at best. Pitch around Bregman and gurriel and no threats beyond that. It would be one thing if we had last years monster lead but we don’t.

    Rangers weren't even trying to score on that "sac fly" attempt.... and they still scored.

    Nope, road trip at Tampa and Texas at the end of June, start of July.

    Uh oh, the run differential and stat pad fetishists are going to lose their **** after this one.

    Astros will win the division, but they're not breaking the franchise win record.

    The Yankees and Sox's improvement from last season is the real concern.

    Astros need to use Harris more often.

    I agree, I was against tats on the ladies, but have grown to appreciate the look if done right. Some appear to be a branding and I believe that should be left to livestock, just my opinion.

    Hinch should have just put in a position player to pitch.

    Astros want that league leading record breaking run differential to disappear.

    JD Davis is probably a better pitcher than Devo and Peacock currently.

    11-1 rangers. Should be embarrassed. Glad Colon isn’t pitching. He might perfect game our ass into the 8th again.

    As much as you SUPPOSEDLY hate the Rangers, you should be pissed getting blown out by them.

    So surely you're PO'd right now. Great.

    Yeah, you're actually right. Checked his gamelogs and his hit problem began in Tampa. Him giving up runs en masse didn't start until the Arlington road trip (actually forgot about that game). Of course, the homer in the White Sox game, and disastrous inning against the Athletics were the two that really came to my mind.

    Devo since June 28:

    @TB: 2B, bunt 1B, LD DP, groundout
    @TB: 1B (2 IR score), FO deep LCF
    @TX: BB, 1B, K, BB
    CWS: LO, HBP, HR, SB, FO, K
    OAK: 3-up, 3 down!
    OAK: 1B, 1B, 2B, FO, 1B
    DET: 7-up, 6 down! (1 reached on error)
    LAA: HR (2 IR score), 1B, HR, BB
    TEX: HR, 1B, 1B, 1B, BB

    By my count that's 22 baserunners in his last 18 outs, and he hasn't recorded an out on the last 9 batters to face him.
