Tomorrow would be a good day for the boys to win their first back-to-back.
Quo Vadis?

Brown and Hader are lights out so far this year. Can't forget King either, that's 9.1 innings without a run.

All I do is Nguyen said:

Well crap we're back to one game back of .500 so we're gonna lose tomorrow….right?


That seems to be the pattern

Good recovery Abreu

But 14 base runners and 2 blown saves in 7.2 innings pitched is worrisome from him

Stepping in for Pressly.

Nice win!

Good to see Dubon draw a walk. Oh, his OPS still went down 33 points?

Unfortunately we can skip tomorrow's game since the order of events says that will be an L.

Hunter Brown is an ace. He is way under appreciated. Pay him the big bucks after this year. Framber is just too flaky for that kind of investment.

Division is wide open this year

Feel good about chances if 3-4-5 hitters have some reversion to their career OPS mean eventually

Though starting rotation is more iffy than historically and bullpen has its questions

Can't have a 7-19 start again

Is Blanco rusty or gassed? Surely not but he's put a lot of innings on his arm over the last couple of years

8-9 without a single player with an OPS over .800. We're like a rich man's Seattle at the plate. Pitching is a little off from their last couple of seasons.

Probably rusty. They said on the radio the other day that he usually plays winter ball but the club asked him not to this last off season to save wear on his arm.

It not just the division. The best record in the AL is 10-7 right now. We are only 2 games off of the pace with no hot hitters.

One funny part of the season. Hader could set the record for saves and be well rested if we can't win back to back days.

Standings Thoughts

We have the best run differential in the ALW at -1. Arlington is tied for the worst with Sacramento at -15.
-1 is good for 6th best in the AL.

The difference between Arlington (First)) and Sacramento (Last) - One Run ballgames. One is 5-0, the other is 0-4.
We're 2-2. .500 and pretty middle of the pack (obviously)

The NL is significantly better than the AL. The top five baseball records are all NL, and only five NL teams are sub .500.

The Dodgers are in 3rd place...lol

You should learn to enjoy pitching.

Is Daily Walkoff being weird for anyone else? It's like they added archived days, but now I can't pull up today's. I'm stuck of yesterday's

Defense
4 FRV (6th overall)
  • -1 Catcher Throwing (27th)
  • 0 Catcher Blocking (15th)
  • -1 Catcher Framing (27th)
  • -2 Arm (30th)
  • 8 Range (1st)
10 OAA (1st)

As you can see from the 5 major categories that make up Fielding Run Value, we struggle with 3 of them and are best in class in one. The range is elite (Meyers, Altuve, Pena, Dubon, McCormick, & Walker), but we got some noodle arms and Yainer/Caratini have some work to do.

No issue for me here. Maybe try reloading or restarting your browser?

Also today was one of the easier ones.

Their winning percentage is .588 which projects to 95 wins. They're fun as heck to watch even without their best player Ketel Marte. Someone said it earlier but the Astros offense is like watching a Jimbo offense.

Guess Yordan ran too much last night...

Or he did foul one off his knee last night didn't he? Hopefully doesn't have to be amputated.

Might just be a scheduled day off. He's played pretty much every game right?
