The Houston Astros are onto Something
quote:

As a bullpen, the Astros have the highest swinging-strike rate (14.9 percent) since recording of that type of thing began. To this point in the season, they also have the highest bullpen strikeout rate (31.1 percent) in recorded history — and by a healthy margin. If you consider the MLB average strikeout rate for relievers, 23.2 percent, only one Astros reliever currently in the bullpen doesn’t reach this mark — Tony Sipp.

Crucial series. Could define the whole season.

Game 1 could set the tone for the second half of the first half of the season. Not one to take lightly.

Santana is a fraud. I like our chances.

I mean it really sets the tone for the playoff push. Lose this one and we may as well call it a season.

At least the draft is right around the corner, good run while it lasted.

Front office completely failed us. No trade was made overnight. We still don't know if Luhnow can do his job.

They'll just draft some kid from an ACC school with their 2nd round pick that will never add up to anything. Waste their picks.

3 things to know about this game:

• Peacock earned another start, Hinch said. In his Monday spot start, Peacock acquired eight strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings, becoming the fifth pitcher in club history to fan eight in a start of 4 1/3 innings or fewer.

• Charlie Morton (10-day DL, right lat strain) will not pitch Tuesday for the Astros, though he was originally scheduled to do so. Mike Fiers will replace him as Tuesday's starter.

• Before Sunday, Minnesota had won seven of its past nine games, and its bullpen has a 1.95 ERA in the stretch.

So, what kind of pitch count does Peacock get today if he's going good? 80-85?

Yeah I'd say around there is a safe bet. If it's close game, Devo should be available. Glad we have an off day Thursday so bullpen can be reset for the Arlington series

He said they told him he could throw 75 in his first start so hopefully they bump him up at least 10 more.
