Astros vs. Rangers, 4/8 (7:05pm)

[inaltuvewetrust]

Ok so we won a game! Let's keep this not sucking thing going and win back-to-back games for the first time!

[Ashitaka]

Ugh, Andrew Heaney today (4.47 career ERA, 3.35 against Houston).

Dubon is hitting .333 in 12 AB against Heaney, Tucker is hitting .100 in 10 AB against him. Wonder if you might see a Chas/Meyers/Dubon OF tonight.

Altuve, Yordan, Bregman, Pena, and Chas are all .280 or better hitters against Heaney. Abreu has a 1.347 OPS against him; if Abreu can't hit tonight, just give up.

You would hope, so here is to hoping Dusty was not too influential in Espada’s decision making.

Framber scratched, rookie being called up. Henley or something

[Saint]

Do we know what's wrong with Framber?

[Ashitaka]

ROTFL game over.

[Ashitaka]

[Ashitaka]

But anyway, Henley is a fun story. He was a classic Luhnow type pick with big spin on his plus curve and them hoping to juice up the heater. He was looking like someone of note in the low minors before his elbow exploded. Still getting strikeouts and ground outs despite command wobbles. Wouldn't be the strangest thing for him to be another no-name breakout hurler, considering the Astros' history of that.

[unionstation82]

Elbow soreness for Framber. Imagine if they traded him in the offseason.

[unionstation82]

Why does Bregman continue to bat cleanup with his wall scraping power to LF?

[Ashitaka]

Framber dead, rando rookie called up, Yordan playing in a giant OF, Yainer to the bench. Mercy.

[Saint]

This smells like victory!

[Ashitaka]

[Saint]

I think we baby arms too much now. No more long toss, no weighted balls, etc.

[inaltuvewetrust]

Bregman, finally!

[thomasj13]

Call Brandon Belt!

[inaltuvewetrust]

DFA Abreu..

[abregmanfan]

This pitcher sucks.

[inaltuvewetrust]

Rangers are going to eat this kids lunch.

[abregmanfan]

We need a triple play.

Put him on the DL for suckitis

[thomasj13]

Man, do I miss Yuli

[inaltuvewetrust]

I do not want to see Abreu on this team anymore. He is worthless.

[abregmanfan]

Abreu can suck a fart.

[abregmanfan]

Do we have a plan B?

[thomasj13]

I’m waiting for Bortaz to tell Abreu to get off his team

[inaltuvewetrust]

Pull the kid. He is in over his head.

Henley thinks he can eclipse Jason Jenningsas the worst Astros starting pitching performance

[abregmanfan]

Poor kid. I feel sorry for him.
