Are they tanking? Are they streaking? Whatever happens will be at the Grill for 4 against HOU 9/13-16

[DT LUNA]

Put Howard back in. lol

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Well, they are definitely no longer streaking

 

[darrylgann]

Still thinking we can catch Pittsburgh

to Howards credit, he is definitely our best option when it comes to losing

This union of analytics and eye test is what Banny was supposed to be.

The Howard trade is looking worse and worse.

 

[darrylgann]

3 more with Houston then 3 with CWS and NYY. We should be gaining on somebody. Baltimore series bothers me as to losing

Something just not right about that deal

 

[Kelleyman]

That wasn't what I was laughing at. I was laughing at you bringing up the idea that of the two, Crouse and Howard, Crouse will probably have to be a reliever.

Right or wrong that was the projection and the aforementioned article was one reference. It is ok to disagree and I am not certain without the eye test. But I am guessing not many on this board has seen Crouse recently.
Even Tepid was concerned re his velocity decrease.

 

[Kelleyman]

Ha. Not watching the game but I suspect the hitters are better in Houston than Zona. A’s reliever s are a dumpster fire
So the Texas tank fan club should be pleased right?

They were dead set on Howard it seems. I wished they moved on to another team.

 

[DT LUNA]

Alexy is human

 

[DTC]

Scott Lucas has and he said he once thought that way himself, but has since changed his mind based on Hans' performance during this season.

If the eye test isn't the right test, then the performance test is most definitely a great test. Howard's tests have come back with "Reliever" written in bold red letters across it.
