[Official] Astros @ Rangers

Lol he has a 2.29 ERA and no right handed hitters in the entire MLB have been hitting him this season. You'll see what a "broken pitcher" looks like tomorrow though don't worry.

 

I think I’m on the Christian Walker sucks train.
He looks like **** on fastballs in the zone.

 

21 Ks in 40 ABs wRISP

He's hit better this season every slot except cleanup, but Dusty has given Espada his orders.

 

I agree he's one of the best. But to allow him to go 8 innings of shutout baseball when he barely goes 5-6 right now (as the team wants to preserve him as much as possible) is inexcusable.

 

But, according to the media he changed his swing 2 days ago so it's fine

 

Just said yesterday I wasn't getting washed vibes from him like Abreu but this is pretty damning...

 

Agree. That's why I don't really care for that individual stat of W or L for a pitcher. It's a team sport. They can pitch great, and get a loss when our batters cant knock in a single base runner.

 

They also pitch subpar and get a win.

W-L is an accurate/even stat overall.

Regarding tonight, ALL of Hunter's stats increased positively except W-L. Everybody knows he was great.

 

I still love this pitching

 

It's as if there's a strategy opposing pitchers are going to when facing Walker. Start him in, then a couple sliders away and then the 4seam FB up that he swings right under, maybe I'm wrong but it feels like he SOs on that FB up a lot.

 

Hunter Brown looks like a 26 year old ace. Hope they don't lose him like they've lost so much other talent recently.

 

We have Hunter for 3 more seasons after this season.

 

It’s definitely not an exact science. Obviously, having a bunch of studs in the lineup make a huge difference. W-L is a bit antiquated now for a pitcher to be judged on. There was a time when it was viewed differently and perhaps in a league dominated by pitching, it was a more telltale stat. It’s still hard to win 20 games, even with good run support. Pitchers don’t go 8-9 innings on the reg anymore.

 

Until the last 3 games he had an OPS of over 800 the last 20 games.

Time will tell but I am not ready to write him off.

 

He does

 

outhit the rangers yet still can't win. smh.

 

Just a few more days

 

Walker needs to be moved down in the lineup until he shows he can consistently produce. Hitting him 4th is not working for anybody.
