Not wishing anyone an injury, but Houston deserves it.

Right. Of course he'll be alright. He's got a beautiful wife and is set for life financially. lol

And a shoe in Hall of Famer.

Half our lineup couldn’t hit a ball placed on a tee so the Verlander news isn’t that big of a deal 

[fan_since79]

I'm half expecting an injury report tomorrow on Ohtani.

Almost every pitcher is at risk for the dreaded "elbow tightness". It's not right, but it's reality.

I shed no tears for the Astros losing Verlander. But I won't dance on any graves. Karma has its way of, well, you know.

Kluber was removed after the 1st inning.

JV out for the year, Greinke is a solid 2/3, but he's no Cole/JV

A's are going to be the As.

 

it'll be an interesting Al west.

[CanadianHalo]

Any word on Teheran? I think I saw that he threw a 2 inning sim game the other day or?

Dancing on graves is one of my favorite hobbies.

 

I think I'll start a thread.

[CanadianHalo]

Helluva grab by Goody!

Greinke gave up 3 runs in 3.1 innings today.

Yeah, I can't find it in my heart to feel sorry for him or the Asstros. 

[eligrba4ever]

And the Angels haven't even unleashed Cam Bedrosian yet this season.

[Angelsjunky]

A short season is perfect to give Ohtani some game action, build up strength, and be ready for 2021. If he's still throwing limp-dick in September, I think we can start talking hitter-only, but not yet. The silver lining is that he wasn't getting bombed - just a few singles and a bunch of walks.

Meanwhile, Man-driese....
