Astros Release Russ Ortiz

By Tim Dierkes [July 30 at 4:36pm CST]

 

According to Alyson Footer via Twitter, the Astros released pitcher Russ Ortiz. Ortiz's nine earned run drubbing today was apparently the last straw, as his ERA rose to 5.57.

LOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL

We did this to some one last year too, IIRC

Hahahaha. I can't believe that bum won 20 games once upon a time.

They probably pulled him from the showers to let him know they released him. LOL

[Clem Fandango]

Didn't even get to take a shower. Poor guy

[Old Style]

So you had a bad day...

 

:cry:

Roast runs a tight shower ship like that.

So the Cubs series caused the turnover of 4 pitchers for the Astros in 4 days.

If they knew they were going to release him, they should have just left him in there to give the bullpen a rest.

 

Can you imagine the box score? CG, 21 ER, 273 pitches...

[E.J.]

The Cubs should give him a going away gift or something. He's been good to us this season.

[YearofDaCubs]

So what do they do in this situation? Does he travel back to Houston with the team or do they just leave him outside of Wrigley to find his own way? LOL

LMAO! I am just picturing this in my head right now.

[Derwood]

Neither starting pitcher from today's game is on their respective teams anymore

That one was actually funny.

 

And wow, that's got to suck for Ortiz. Hilarious for us, though.

If you give up 2 XBH to Mike Fontenot, you don't belong on a major league mound.

Don't forget Derrick Turnbow last year.
