Burger looked like he almost tripped around 3rd.

It was kinda funny until someone hit it onto the field.

lmao at the trash can

Gotta chase Odorizzi early and get a few innings against their bullpen guys outside of Presley.

Burger!

Gavin just missed it.

Was that a curveball?

Whatever he did during the ASB just made him lose any baseball IQ he had.

Peavy-esque deal. I like it.

Just don't get swept (again).

Houston's weakest part of the team is their middle relief. In pretty much every game this year, we haven't gotten to hit off them cause their starters seemingly dominate us for 7 innings every time out.

Also I vote to never wear the City Connect jerseys again. We're 0-3 in them and always play like crap.

We somehow made this into a blowout. God we just suck against Houston.

How did we managed to walk their .171 hitting 9th hitter twice? Just pathetic.

TLR needs to learn from Cease's start against Minny and just pull him.

We really don't have a large margin for error against good teams like the Astros. One defensive misplay is the difference between a dominant start for Cease and a mediocre one.

McCullers is gonna go all 9 at this rate.

Brantley owns Cease.

Looks like those 4 days off didn't do a lot for Jose.

Such unnecessary runs to give up. There were 2 outs.

I'm not watching, did Garcia not cover 2nd or something?

There goes the no hitter.

Quintana produced about 7 WAR over 3.5 seasons for the Cubs and got paid $26 million while doing it. He was basically a ML average starter for them overall. Eloy has produced 3.4 WAR in 2 seasons and Cease had produced 2.3 WAR in a little over 2 seasons. That's almost 6 WAR alone in just 2 seasons of play for them. You also have to take into account that we control them both for 4+ more years. When you consider how much Quintana underperformed for them, I really don't think you can say it was a even trade.

Kopech alone is worth more than Gallo. But nah, let's throw in our best pitching prospect too while we're at it.

Were they cheating when they got swept by the Orioles at home? I just think they're extremely streaky.
