An Astro starting pitcher has gone more than 5 innings ONCE in the last 11 games (Wesneski went 7 in SF)

Also--excluding the one game where King was the opener, Astro starters have given up at least 2 runs in 20 straight games :wha:

The last "shut down" game by a starter was Brown going 7 shutout innings vs the White Sox on 7/25

In the last 21 games, the Astros have had only 4 "quality starts" (RIP Framber)...and 2 of those were the bare minimum 6 IP, 3 ER.

Yeah, we probably needed another arm at the deadline...

 He asked me where I was from. When I told him Bogalusa, he said, "Shouldn't you be wearing a BAMA cap?"

I know way more than I should about Bogalusa. I have a lot of kinfolk from the greater Bogalusa-Varnado-Angie metro area.

Bogalusa High had a quarterback in the late 60's named Terry Davis. He went on to become one of Bear Bryant's first wishbone QB's and finished 5th in the Heisman race one year. Legend has it that when Alabama played on TV, the anmouncers would mistakenly say he was from Bogalusa, Alabama.

Bogalusa is also home to a MLB player from the 70's. Charlie Spikes, aka "The Bogalusa Bomber".
He played at Central Memorial High, which was the all-black school, and graduated in 1969, which I think was the last year before the schools were integrated. Spikes was the 11th overall pick by the Yankees. He played one season with the Yanks and 5 with the Indians then bounced around a little. Lifetime .246 average with 65 HR and 256 RBI.

Not much good has happened there since.

I think they are happy with the roster they have now, esp since they signed the Russian girl

Dale has tarnished his legacy a bit with some of the things he’s said over the past decade or so.

Being in bed with Temple Sr isn't really the best choice from a PR standpoint either.

Is he behind this or does he have handlers making him do this to keep getting paid?

There are interviews where he swears he is doing it because he just loves being out there performing. I am suspicious though.

Wham bam thank you Cam

The term "horseshite" is thrown around a lot, but tonight this team is absolute horseshite.
