Ullola had another rough outing. Wonder if he's working on something specific.

Seems like he should be working on throwing strikes

LOL- make an obvious comment and expect an obvious response. I'm sure every player is working something specific.

Do we know what the coaches are wanting from Ullola- did he add a pitch, or maybe needs to control a curveball better, or something like that?

I find it hard to believe they are trying to get him throwing new pitches when he has 0 control. He needs to go back to the minors and become a flame throwing reliever and work on whatever two pitches he can actually get over the plate.

Ullola not throwing strikes in the first week of ST doesn't concern me at all. Ullola won't be in the ML this year unless something catastrophic happens.

I thought the story on him was that he had tremendous stuff, but LMJ-esque control of it (or lack thereof). Hopefully he will get better control of it with time.

"Back to the minors"? Dude has literally never been in the majors and was just now added to the 40-man to protect against Rule 5. He won't be on the opening day roster.

We probably said the same thing about Brandon Walter, Jason Alexander, or any of the handful of AA pitchers we saw last year.

That's cause last year was a catastrophe.

Actually last year was a full blown extinction level event.

True

Just after last year I don't ever count out seeing anyone on the big league squad.

That was so incredibly ridiculous.

Isn't he in the Hall of Fame? That would seem to warrant getting your number retired.

Chandler's comment is him saying "well duh the new team is saying they're going to fix the guy who didn't do well at the previous location."

He's throwing shade at those, I'm guessing in his comments and on X, who are saying see, the Astros hitting coaches sucked because the Blue Jays coaches essentially are saying they sucked.

I'm not commenting on the former hitting coaches one way or another, just commenting on Chandler's response.
Or, and stay with me here, it's just Chandler being the little b-tch that he is. Even if it's somewhat in defense of the Astros.

That's my point. He's not monkeying around with a new pitch or anything like that when he's trying to prove he's a big league caliber player with the coaching staff. What he's been doing simply is who he is right now.

If anybody is choosing to get that at the stadium… Then that's on them.

If I'm going to spend $30 on a meal at the ballpark it'll be for something I can't get at a fast food restaurant down the street

Why are some of y'all throwing a fit like Whataburger is the only option in the entire ballpark?

WTF wants Whataburger at a ballgame anyways?

To make sure you're taking your blood pressure medication before you order the $30 triple with cheese and fries.

Just grab a Whataburger and fries on the way to the stadium and shove it in a gallon size ziploc bag.
