Scratched. Won't say why until after game. Im guessing he was traded for Paul Skenes...

It wasn't long ago they sent him back to the minors during his rookie season to get right. He got right.

He got sent down for like 2 days then he was like nah fuck that I’m going to be the best catcher in the league instead.

 

[cezero]

why would any of them agree to do a dugout interview lmao

 

[WizardHawk]

Ok, that's enough of Kirby's debut.

 

[Tapey]

2 bloops, a hit by pitch that looks like it probably didn’t even hit him and he leaned into it and an error by your 3rd baseman, rough luck for Kirby that inning

 

[cezero]

I feel like this early in a game in his first start you have to let Kirby get out of the inning if it's 2 outs with no RISP. i won't get on dan for that.

but the instant there's a RISP from this point forward, somebody needs to be getting warm in the pen.

 

[Tapey]

I’m no mlb quality manager but probably should have taken Kirby out before Peña

 

[cezero]

i've never cared much for kirby but fuck we need him to get sharp quick.

i missed that inning. how long after the astros had a RISP did Dan start a guy warming up in the pen?

I think he had a guy warming up all inning, but he let Kirby give up the lead and then face another guy beyond that to really blow it open

 

[AceKeptic]

Well, this one's over...

Like all good things, this one is over.

 

[Tapey]

Not scoring with the bases loaded and less than 2 outs and then giving up more runs immediately is pretty on brand

 

[NWinAZ]

Ya I turned it off after the triple. My brother and I talked yesterday about it being a big mistake to start Kriby in this series. He had bad control in the minors and his stuff wasn't ready. It showed tonight his stuff is not ready. He had 2 outs and nobody on then gave up 3 more runs. Sad.

I needed to go and prune my fruit trees anyway.

like i said before, rehab starts in the minors are more about throwing a prescribed number of pitches of each type focusing on mechanical soundness and comfort/pain against live bats instead of just throwing to a catcher. a glorified bullpen session.

but yeah, he got ahead of a lot of hitters and then couldn't put them away or gave up runs with more than 1 out. not making any judgments until i see him start a couple more times.
