Where are all the Yordan **** talkers at tonight? Dude was playing with a broken hand, while this board pissed all over him. When healthy (even my dad knocks his ability here) he's a top three MLB hitter.

---

Maybe I haven't payed close enough attention, but I've never seen an Astros fan on here (or in real) life say anything bad about Yordan. Do those people really exist?

---

It was horrible at points -- people saying things like "trade him" or "he's trash", etc.

It might have had happened without the injury to Arrighetti.

It's going to be Tommy John. "Elbow Inflammation" or something this club put out there.

Idk where to place my anger for the Arrighetti news but it's going to be at Dana for knowing that **** today on the radio and not mentioning it.

Jake back for the weekend

Magick shots seem to be working for Paredes

Make Framber walk to Arlington

Hopefully just some bruising and he'll be ok. Guess we'll see what happens Friday.

This is beyond stupid at this point. I've completely lost track of pitchers on the shelf. Hader, Wesneski, Blanco, Walker, Sousa, and now Arrighetti? This is after just getting back Garcia, Javier, and McCullers.

And MLB wants to add teams. lol, with what pitchers?

While I love having a 4-game lead, I think this thing is still going down to the wire. The Seamen have 13 of their final 22 at home, and unfortunately for us they are a different team there. My simulations have us winning 89 and them 87. Close .

This comes as no surprise.

There's a reason why the Astros rarely sign pitchers to long term deals. The "tweaks" they make to these guys often come with maxing out spin rates which puts a tremendous amount of pressure on their arms. Some more than others.

Spencer had little to no chance of sniffing the big leagues without making big adjustments. It comes with a risk unfortunately.

And no, the Astros aren't the only team doing this.

That said - it's possible this turns out to be no big deal. We'll see.

so what does the 2026 rotation look like...

if Arrighetti's injury is serious?

HB, Javier, and ?

Did anyone actually see Framber on the bench yesterday? Watching on the tube, I don't recall having seen him like I ordinarily do.

Its looking like a challenge. Luis is another option but hard to rely on two guys starting 30+ times coming off TJ. I'd guess we shop in the middle market. I still think Dustin May's talent is too high and would love to see what our coaches could do with his stuff.

Garcia, Alexander, France, and Blubaugh.

Garcia, Alexander

From minors…Gordon, Blubaugh, Ullola all have a chance

Look for a cheap signing for someone we think we can fix like Buehler

Some combination of about 10 different guys over the course of the season.

I dont understand mlb managers sometimes, just so different from college and hs. King mowed them down in 7 pitches, why not leave him in?

---

because MLB plays basically 6 days a week in a row ish.

HS plays twice a week.

College plays 3 games a week, not counting OOC Tuesdays.
