Astros (Arrighetti) vs Cubs (Taillon): 5/22/26, 1:20pm

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Heart of the order against some random lefty lobbing up mediocre fastballs.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Never could have imagined a slump this hard spurring from the Leiter game. They have absolutely sucked ass since that game.

2-12 Baseball is Angels and Rockies territory. 

Hey it’s only 2-10!

That 20-3 is slowly disappearing,  2-9 now

The pitching is bad as it is, but when they do get a decent game from them,  the hitting sucks.  

Wonder if Hoyer has balls enough to fire Counsell and maybe try to ignite something that way

Zero chance.

Oh right, I jumped ahead. 
In some positive news, that wasn’t me spoiling the next two days as I do not own a time machine. 😞

Progress. Their 4 hits are twice as many as Wednesday, scored over 30% of the total runs in a game for the first time this week, Taillon retired almost 15 batters and Happ only struck out twice.

might as well be 2-11, we have to go against the vaunted Astros pitching staff led by Kai-Mei Teng and Peter Lambert.

This is a jed Hoyer constructed team alright. 

[Dfan25]

Can they move Ian to the 10th spot and Dansby to 11th ?

 

edit: Seriously , I don’t see much they can do . The majority of them suck right now .
