He had to come out several times usually for blisters.
He averaged 5.57 innings per start.

Jordan Montgomery averaged 5.88 innings per start.

It was the strangest parade is that there was so much time in between vehicles most if the time.
It seems like it was due to police exports going back and forth

I believe he started 29 times, won 9 lost 8. how do you account for 12 remaining games?

Alright, since everyone is already in offseason discussion mode, the new thread is up.

You saw how bad our bullpen was all year and you still wonder about that? Non-decisions are not a mark of an injury plagued pitcher; a lack of starts and a low number of innings pitched are.

105.3 The FAN on my way home was giving an over/under on how many bench clearing brawls there will be between Houston and the Rangers when they play next year.

I say benches clear at least 5 times but there won't be any brawls.....lots of pushing and shoving and talking loud but nobody throws punches

All I am saying is for what ever the reason, he had 12 non-decisions and some were injury. (blisters) With a 9-8 record I think he would be better utilized in the pen.

If the vehicles would have been more together they wouldn't have had to have so many different policemen. I would imagine there will be some changes next time. This was their first so it is a learning experience.

He had one blister problem this year in June. Lots of starting pitchers have one or two a year.

Let's move on. 29 starts and only 9 wins spell bull pen and Bradford replacing him in rotation.

It is also noted he was on the 15 day IL for lower forearm tightness.

Yes, at the very end of the season. We have had a lot of good starters over the year with 28 or less starts, guys like Darvish, Colby, Cliff Lee, and Holland.

What about 32 starts and 10 wins? That is what Montgomery had this year.
Yes but he was with us only a short time or he may have had more.

Could we sign Odor just in time for the 1st Astros game against us to punch Bregman in the head and then cut him?

Montgomery had 4 wins in 11 games for us.

All of our starters would have had more wins if not for our historically bad bullpen.
They blew around 5 of his starts at the end of the year and most were on Chapman.
