I didn’t figure it was possible, but the Astros have found something even more annoying than the frequently cited “discomfort” used for most injuries: Using “the back of his baseball card” to justify why the organization is confident certain players will eventually bounce back from his early season struggles. Dana Brown and Joe Espada have used that term, as recently as Wednesday, with the former using it for Josh Hader and the latter for...

Welcome to the Thursday Boil.
Houston is now 6-14. I think it may be time for them to get serious about baseball.
The Houston Astros are hardly devoid of talent. Already eight games below .500, the time is nigh for them to start stopping getting swept. Maybe they can go to a two-man rotation with CJ and Ronel? Or maybe....I don’t know....maybe finding a first baseman anywhere above replacement level? I may not be a smart man, but I would...

Information on Hunter Brown’s Rebound...And Notes on the Astros’ Standings
Hunter Brown experienced a bad pitching start for the ages against the Royals, and we didn’t know what to expect in Tuesday’s start against the powerful Braves’ offense. Fortunately, Brown rebounded with a solid 6 inning start, allowing only 2 runs. If Brown had been removed a batter or two earlier...

An old farm hand finally makes his debut
Long ago in West Africa, there was a ruthless warlord named General Mosquito. He was the undisputed leader of his faction until he encountered his arch-nemesis, General Mosquito Spray. Ironically, after a rather bloody battle, the Mosquito vanquished Mosquito Spray.
Every time the Astros and Braves play, I am reminded of this matchup: two heavyweights with unique and, to some, controversial nicknames battling it out for...

Although the right-hander was optioned to Triple-A, there are reasons to be optimistic following his brief debut.
By Statcast classifications, Spencer Arrighetti has thrown six types of pitches in his first seven major league innings, in descending order by usage rates: Four-seam fastball (38.6%), cutter (25.9%), sweeper (18.7%), curveball (10.8%), slider (3.6%), and changeup (2.4%). His six sliders thus far could’ve also been intended as a...
The Astros have to be questioning whether they have Josh Hader out there pitching for them right now or Bill Hader.
