Has Ted been resurrected, or is he still Ded?

By the time the Angels get the pitching to match their offense, the offense will suck

They've allowed 46 runs in 8 games

I have no clue about their talent but I’ll just blame Titty Callaway becoming their pitching coach

We’re probably still at the wake, like the old days prior to modern medicine.

He may rise in the casket, but it won’t be b/c of ground balls b/w 1st and 2nd

My guess is we’ll have to bury him with a string tied to his finger attached to a bell above ground.

Their starters: Dylan Bundy, Andrew Heaney, Patrick Sandavol, Griffin Channing, Matt Andriese, and Shohei Otani have allowed 20 of the 46 runs in 38.1 innings.

Their bullpen is bad as well

Ted has risen I think Kalas said last night he’s the only Astros player in the top 100 of MLB in exit velocity. So as long as he keeps finding the barrel good things hopefully keep happening for him.

It’s going to be so nice whenever we can see some non rookie guys coming out of the bullpen. They are doing a nice enough job but damn I’d love a veteran out there in a high leverage spot

As STL and Jwho pointed out last night, ground balls b/w 1st and 2nd are not going to make up for the hole in his swing.

He might figure it out if he gains some confidence, but he seems too soft thus far.

I want to see some Ted swagger. Maybe if he did some fly fishing for tarpon in Bastrop Bay in b/w games, while Reddick is running poles.

Trout is the most overrated player in baseball history

Assuming ur saying that b/c he was nowhere in the highlights?

He’s not playing this wknd due to paternity leave.

Good thing he wasn’t in their lineup last night. He’s a difference maker. The only reason he may be overrated is b/c he is the bar used most often.

Does he live outside the country?

Not sure why he would have to quarantine, unless he was in direct contact with a positive case

MLB isn’t bubbled

It won’t matter after this wknd anyway.

Owners are looking for any way out at this point

And I can’t say the players act much different

Or maybe I’m just exhausted from sports not being sports

Can we declare ourselves 2020 Champions when the season ends tomorrow? Who's gonna stop us?

Wouldn’t bother me. I thought I’d enjoy it, but it all seems like they’re half assing everything.

Hate that it’s probably the last we see of Springer in an Astros uniform. It was fun while it lasted. Middle of the pack for 3-4 years.

We’ve been going and watching 18U showcase tournaments every other weekend when my son isn’t playing. We’re able to watch 2 teams play full of players that absolutely love the game. They play hard and have fun. Way more enjoyable to watch than this fake noise shitshow MLB is producing.

What we are seeing is not baseball. It's dogshit take a whiff.

The NE media likes to pretend this is heroic awesome baseball finding a way in these uncertain times but they all want a shutdown because deep down they are all pussies. Every single one of them
