What a time to be an Astros fan

The last time the Astros were remotely close to this good, I was in a phase where I didn't pay attention to sports at all so this is new and fun for me.

Also that ketchup slip and slide is a disaster

Good for Pujols

Also I slept through my alarm and woke up to the Astros winning again so that's nice

6 IP 9K for Peacock

Dang good for him

The Astros have a chance to straight up bury the division this month. Remaining games:
4 @ Royals
3 Angels
3 Rangers
3 Red Sox
4 @ A's
3 @ Mariners
3 A's
a 3 game series against the Yankees starts on the 30th.

Red Sox and Yankees are the only clubs over .500 in that stretch and there are a lot of games vs the division.

Here's a crazy stat for you

ESPN posted:

Houston's 7-8-9 hitters are now batting .285 and slugging .502 -- that's better than the MLB average for the 3-4-5 spots (.265/.459).

quote:

KANSAS CITY -- The Astros have called up right-handed pitcher Francis Martes, ranked as their No. 1 prospect according MLBPipeline.com, a source confirmed for MLB.com. Martes is expected to help the Houston's beleaguered bullpen in a long-relief role.

Martes was scratched from his scheduled start for Triple-A Fresno on Wednesday night. Martes, 21, hasn't pitched well this year at Fresno, going 0-2 with a 5.29 ERA in eight starts. In 32 1/3 innings, he's allowed 40 hits, 28 walks, five homers and struck out 38 batters. He has a 2.10 WHIP and opponents are hitting .299 against him.

That doesn't really sound like a guy who will be much help (2.10 WHIP jesus)

I hate days like today when games don't start til like 6 PM and then a whole bunch go. I prefer when theyre spaced out so I can watch baseball from noon til midnight.

Reddick reinstated, Fisher optioned. Aoki remains an Astro

what the gently caress

e: as you mentioned in another post the only thing I can think of is its service time somehow

further e: I went looking for the super 2 cutoff and apparently it varies based on the callup decisions of all MLB teams, but this is the TLDR version from Fangraphs:

quote:

There’s variation in the cutoff, but you can safely assume it will be between 2.120 and 2.150, meaning that if you keep a player down for about 65 service days in their first year, you will not have to let them pass through arbitration four times.

2.120 means 2 years and 120 days

I think Rolen would have gone in in another era but there are just too many great players waiting right now (which is a reason the HoF should get rid of its stupid vote limit but good luck with that)

I hate the stupid "unwritten rules" if you don't want a hitter to admire the dinger he hit off you don't throw a lovely pitch

Or strike him out next time and flip your glove into space but don't be a whiny loser about it
