You sure can, but can we just enjoy a big win tonight?

[Angel Oracle]

14 straight starts for the starter pitching into the 6th inning at least,  and allowing 3 or fewer runs?

[Broad Street]

Damn good start by Heaney! About time we had a starter go 8 innings!

Our SP looks legit.  We may not necessarily have the firepower of the Astros' rotation, but we have some very talented guys who can pitch well.  Definitely night and day this year vs last, and not having to see Nolasco, Chavez, etc take the mound every 5 games.

I am. One of the Editors here is a big Astros fan, having grown up in Huston. He is taping he game to watch it later. Would love to see his face when Kole makes that play from deep foul territory.

Definitely was not pretty, but it was nice to see Anderson adjust and keep those sliders down against Gurriel

[Angel Oracle]

Props to Calhoun for not taking his struggles into the field, and finding ways to help the team.

Heaney's start tonight gives us 6 SP with ERA+s over 100.   

[Angel Oracle]

Tomorrow, Ohtani returns to the lineup.   Much needed!

Heaney and Anderson owe Kole dinner. What a game. 

What does Cold owe for his .158 average?

Our rotation is under estimated by the so called experts on all the sport shows IMO.

They're ball players not politicians.

[Sherlock31]

I think Anderson needs an off speed pitch, a slow curve ball or change up would make his power pitch much more lethal.

I know.  I don’t care. Just get the win. Ha!

Of course, we should be happy that they won although Calhoun should NOT be in the lineup right now. That's on the manager.

While it's fairly valid to say this on most nights, without Calhoun today, this game is either tied or we're losing.  He most definitely made a strong contribution to us winning this specific game.

So who should plays the rf? Young?

[JustATroutFan]

No because there's still a lot of pretty nice people on here like you and others but some people on here who just won't let others express their opinions without attacking them. So we can't be critical of the manager but we're allow to talk about sex on here. On a baseball forum! Wow......

Calhoun has had more at bats than Young. While Young is still not doing good either with the bat, he should at least get more chance to play. Young is like a right handed version of Calhoun right now. Plays good defense but no bat.
