DAT 7/19 | Astros (Keuchel) @ A's (Overton) | 9:05

I feel like we've faced 70% lefties over the last month or so

Well Overton has been bad in his 2 starts, 11+ ERA, Walked 5, Struck out 4.

Which means he'll go 7IP, 0R, 0BB, 9K's tonight.

Alright its time to bounce back. Dallas will continue his string of good starts and springer is gonna catch fire again.

I just want one more competent starter. Hopefully Musgrove can be that guy. Fiers is so inconsistent, throws 6 scoreless one start then 2 straight starts of 4+ runs and not being able to make it through 4.

If we don't get another starter in a trade, I bet we deal Fiers this month and move Feldman to the 5th starter. If we can deal Neshek as well, that makes room for Hoyt and another lefty.

I like Musgrove a lot as a prospect, but right now for the rest of the year I want to add a guy who can consistently work deep into games. Jabroni and McCullers haven't inspired a lot of confidence lately in that department either and we know they aren't going anywhere. I want another vet who can limit the workload of the pen.

As long as Devo, Feldman, and Feliz are in the pen, I'm not really concerned about workload.

Springer defines streakiness. At years end he'll have respectable overall numbers but they'll be built by a month of .350 here and a month of .200 there.


BTW we've lost 3 of 5 recent games vs the shitty A's. When the schedule gives you breaks like them, you've got to take advantage.

He'll always be streaky I guess. George gets swing from his heels pull happy. But despite the fact Marwin is playing solid ball, I think he could use a better bat behind him in the order.

It was so bad live.
