Not sure how Peacock gets the nod over Brady Rogers or Devinski at this point of the season. I get that Rogers hasn't started a ML game, but really? Peacock? In a pennant race? Are we even trying to win? I'd rather trot out Rogers and see what he has.
Peacock might crack the top 20 as far as starting pitchers go within the Astros organization. Not sure why he's even with the organization still, let alone pitching at such a critical time of the year. I want him to feed me crow though, but he's a crappy pitcher...just hoping for that fluke 6 inning stretch of his career where he gives up a couple runs or less.
I assume for depth and random spot starts instead of pitching an 8 RP game tomorrow (see post above re: Devo and Rogers)? They haven't lost anyone important off the 40 man in lieu of him yet. If there's a crunch this offseason, I'd imagine they'll let him loose
Lol Peacock vs. Kluber Today's lineup: 1. George Springer (R) DH 2. Alex Bregman (R) 3B 3. Jose Altuve (R) 2B 4. Carlos Correa (R) SS 5. Yulieski Gurriel (R) 1B 6. Evan Gattis (R) C 7. Colby Rasmus (L) LF 8. Teoscar Hernandez (R) RF 9. Jake Marisnick (R) CF
It might not end up hurting us, but when you have Correa and Gurriel behind you, you have to give them the chance to bring you home...specially when we are in a situation where every game and every run matters so much.
Off topic but after that Altuve double I was checking 2B stats this season and... what the heck??? Brian Dozier hit 3 home runs today and has 38 on the season
Had no idea this was one of those bullpen games for the Indians. Gonna be tough for us to establish some rhythm I think
