4 hours ago4 hr A tie ballgame in the first two innings is also probably too much leverage for Ma’amanthony.4 minutes ago, wegner said:If they are gonna use Dominguez at all, let him open for Fedde to get Ser over with early.
4 hours ago4 hr What in the world was Venable doing? Hudson was really the last pitcher in the bullpen to bring in to get out of a jam with good right-handed hitters coming up. Hudson has been good this year, but he's a soft-tossing control lefty. It's really bizarre. It's also strange how he closes 2 nights ago (instead of Taylor) and then now he's the first guy in.Well Venable earns his money here, getting this gang to pull themselves up and put this game behind them. And there is a general concern about the offense. Hasn't been great recently.

4 hours ago4 hr These games happen. Having said that, I think it was a borderline disgraceful performance. Flush it and go again tomorrow
3 hours ago3 hr Just a very bad loss and not the way you want to start what is going to be a difficult stretch of games the next two weeks.Saturday becomes a little more important to see how they respond.

It just didn’t work out.But he's not really a high leverage pitcher with his modest K rates. Hicks and Taylor throw 99 with high K rates - that's for leverage. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by GreenSox
2 hours ago2 hr Houston has now won 4 in a row. Hopefully this doesnt spark them for a longer winning streak. Really need Burke and the offense to show up tomorrow
