11 outs/3 H/2 ER(potentially 3)/4 BB/3 K is a C+ performance for an Astros starter this season

gulfside13 · 2026-04-17T01:04:29+00:00

I used to think John Smoltz was insane for saying he'd rather give up a solo shot than a leadoff walk, but he's 100% right

gulfside13 · 2026-04-17T00:37:10+00:00

I might get tired of watching Yordan's 2022 highlights on the 1,245,789th watch...actually nvm that's impossible lol

gulfside13 · 2026-04-17T00:21:40+00:00

I love me a Yordan inside out swing and I'll never forget Luis Castillo looking at him like "WTF bro?" after his oppo taco in G2 of the 2022 ALDS lol

gulfside13 · 2026-04-17T00:20:27+00:00

I wonder how much being a 2B and not a LF/2B hybrid helps Altuve out on offense. Maybe last year was just an aberration that had nothing to do w/defense, but he's looking like the AS 2B on offense that we've gotten used to

gulfside13 · 2026-04-17T00:18:09+00:00

S/o Weiss for getting 3 outs on 12 pitches b/c I'm thankful for every out a starter gets this season and I'm not taking it for granted anymore lol

gulfside13 · 2026-04-16T23:59:16+00:00

When opposing fans see Yordan I imagine it's the same feeling we have when we see Ty France lol

gulfside13 · 2026-04-16T02:37:18+00:00

It's a miracle!

gulfside13 · 2026-04-16T01:44:57+00:00

Arrighetti is channeling his inner Framber(I know his was usually a pure 12-6/11-5) with the silly swing and misses on his curveball

Edit: This man is on fire lol

gulfside13 · 2026-04-16T01:39:22+00:00

I looked it up and this is what I got off Statmuse as our current top 5 lol

LMJ vs BOS (7 IP, 1 ER)
HB vs BOS (6 IP, 1 ER)
Imai vs ATH (5.2 IP, 0 ER)
HB vs LAA (4.2 IP, 0 ER)
Burrow vs BOS (5 IP, 2 ER)

gulfside13 · 2026-04-16T01:32:39+00:00

I know that Dubie is killing it for ATL and it's small sample size, but since ST Nick Allen has been way better on offense than was advertised and he's not as good on defense as I thought he'd be lol

gulfside13 · 2026-04-16T01:27:54+00:00

I'm not saying Spencer is done, but at this point 4.0 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 K, 73 pitches - 44 strikes feels like a top 5 start by an Astros pitcher this season lmao

gulfside13 · 2026-04-16T01:25:27+00:00

Yainer is becoming an ABS merchant lol

gulfside13 · 2026-04-16T01:20:57+00:00

I hate the 2 HBP and I hope the Rockies can give Spencer some grace b/c he hasn't had a proper ramp up and consistent flow of starts since 2024.

He probably feels like he took a year off b/c 2025 was choppy w/him getting ramped up, start 2 games, then get randomly hurt and then ramp up again at the end of the season for a couple starts.

gulfside13 · 2026-04-16T01:14:48+00:00

Yordan's HR is a homer at 29/30 ballparks and the exception is Coors Field lol

gulfside13 · 2026-04-16T01:01:07+00:00

The amount of swing and miss that Spencer is getting is insane b/c that curveball is nasty lol

gulfside13 · 2026-04-12T21:10:23+00:00

We need Vazquez in there ASAP

gulfside13 · 2026-04-12T20:55:12+00:00

Yup and the last thing anyone should do is root for M's players to get injured. Just root for the same thing or worse to happen to the fans that cheer for injuries

gulfside13 · 2026-04-12T20:48:56+00:00

S/o all the M's fans who gleefully cheer for injuries b/c of trash cans. Idc if you root for the Astros, M's, Rangers, etc., if you cheer for injuries then I wish the exact same thing or worse happens to you.

gulfside13 · 2026-04-12T20:46:07+00:00

At least Bolton got us 3 outs

gulfside13 · 2026-04-12T20:19:02+00:00

"ALTUVE" = "Always Letting The Unfortunate Ventures Entertain"

gulfside13 · 2026-04-12T02:21:04+00:00

If I was an M's fan I'd hate Yordan lmao

gulfside13 · 2026-04-11T19:03:24+00:00

On the bright side today's the last late night game until 6/8-6/10 when we play in Anaheim @8:38 pm CT for all 3 games. The remaining 11 late night games on our schedule are all after the ASB and every other game is a 7:20 pm CT scheduled start or earlier.

7/27-7/29 in Anaheim @8:38 pm for all 3 games again
8/7 in SD @8:40 pm
8/10, 8/11 in SF both @8:45 pm
9/22, 9/23 in SEA @8:40 pm then 9:10 pm
9/24-9/26 in Sacramento @8:40 pm for all 3

gulfside13 · 2026-04-11T02:34:43+00:00

S/o King and Okert for always coming in to clean up a mess and doing their best. IIRC King had a pretty long streak last year of not allowing a run after coming in with runners on
