Jimmy Paredes is playing LF tonight for OKC. Is management trying to shift him to the outfield to avoid the Altuve/Wallace/Dominguez roadblock?


Kinda old news but yes sir

Damn it. Good thing this isn't the zoo or I would be getting e-raped right now

Who is next to get a look at starting pitcher from the minors? In the 3 starts since getting called back up, Keuchel has the following lines for an ERA of 12.15:

July 21: 3 1/3 IP 6 ER
July 26: 6 IP 5 ER
July 31: 4 IP 7 ER

Do we still have time to make the playoffs?

I'm thinking 23 year old Jose Cisnero is the guy. He just got called up from AA Corpus Christi to AAA OKC and has has the best numbers of anyone at either level this year as a starter.

I'm hoping it cools down before the September call ups so I can go check out the talent here in OKC. Had 6 tickets for Sunday but it was just too damned hot to drag the 20 month old girl out there.

Gap, I'll say Rudy Owens, although I don't think they'll make a move, short of injury, until roster expansion. It won't be Clemens since he was just demoted. I guess it could be Oberholtzer.

That list should not have weiland on it. He is no longer a prospect

I would have cisnero is his place

big league club making the math easy in dropping to 35-70. 35 games under

finished July with just 3 wins

Tied the franchise record for the most losses ever in one month (3-24), matching the '62 Colt .45s who went 5-24 in...July.

When you win fewer games in a month than the strike-shortened months of June 1981 (4-5) and August 1994 (7-3), it's been a rough go of it.

Better days are ahead, but that tunnel seems mighty damn long right now.

Telvin Nash shouldn't be on that list. He has great power but literally strikes out every other AB, and his avg is just horrible. And I agree with Maz that Weiland shouldn't be on there either. I would take those two guys off and put the 2 OFs we got from Arizona

Can we avoid the inevitable 4th inning lyles meltdown?

Wow cant blame lyles there. Tough play but altuve makes that next time. One of those you can know the feel for until you try it.

not sure how long the astros can keep running Lyles out there to take these beatings. Can't be good for his confidence as a young pitcher. His career record is going to fall to 4-16 with a 5.45 ERA

The only problem is we don't really have anybody in AAA who can take his spot. Jose Cisnero had great #'s in AA, but he's only made one start at OKC. Our pitching depth is horrifying

That is why Lunhow has been loading up on arms. I think the fact that this team has sucked the last few years is the reason Lyles was sent up too quickly. He needs more time in AAA.

Wallace with his 2nd home run of the game.

Armando goes tomorrow night

I know it's a small sample size, but Marc Krauss has homered 4 times in 3 games in AA since we acquired him from Arizona in the CJ trade. I would imagine he will probably be called up to AAA in September once the MLB rosters expand

Lets do this Armando.

Also, random question: who do y'all think our "ace" is now that Wandy is gone? I know everyone sucks, but if we have this pitching staff next year (God help us if we do), who gets the nod on opening day? Bud?
Mr.Bond

Bud is opening day IMO
