Intruder posted:But they haven't had time to fix him yet From Kaplan's article on the trade quote:Though pitching coach Brent Strom and the Astros are known for improving pitchers, in part by tweaking their pitch usage, don’t expect anything close to an overhaul of the 35-year-old Greinke. In his case, the message from the team will probably more closely resemble this: “Keep doing what you’ve been doing.” On Peacock: quote:Acquiring Greinke and Sanchez gives the Astros the option of rehabbing Peacock as a reliever rather than as a starter, meaning a quicker return. Peacock should factor into their postseason bullpen either way, so it would make sense for the team to let him settle into that role, especially since he’s coming off a shoulder issue. He could begin some sort of rehab assignment as soon as this weekend.

They've been saying Sanchez's blister issues are long done with and he really did look like his old lights out self in his last start, like a switch was flipped for him. He'll do even better in Houston.

drat flights to Milwaukee are kinda pricey. Is it easy to fly to O'Hare and just go from CHI to MIL by some cheaper mode of mass transit? Heading to Miller Park with two of my friends in September.

GalacticAcid posted:drat flights to Milwaukee are kinda pricey. You could take Amtrak, but you would need to fly to ORD or MDW, take the El to downtown and go to Union Station to get on the Amtrak. Would make for a long trek. You would also probably have to cab it from the Milwaukee Amtrak station to Miller Park.

Apparently the D-Backs have had discussions with officials from Henderson, NV about a possible relocation, but to be honest this sounds like the basic kind of contact that a team would use to get leverage against the home city for a new stadium. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/08/diamondbacks-have-considered-nevada-relocation.html

It's just over an hour drive to Miller Park from O'Hare, not bad at all. Otherwise like Bird in a Blender said you'd have to hop on the Amtrak which requires heading into the city.

I'm not sure you can "fix" Greinke- he's already pretty well fixed in being one of the most detail oriented and thinking man's pitchers out there. Sure, the Astro's probably have some metrics that Greinke didn't have access to before now, but it's not like the man doesn't hone his craft.

So yesterday Altuve got a hit and when he was on base like fist bumped Santana, Indians 1B. Santana fell for it and then got mad. Tonight, Altuve got on base again, and tried to fist bump Santana again, but Santana wasn't having any of it and then got mad that Altuve thought he'd fall for it a 2nd time.

And just like everyone predicted at the start of the season, Max Fried has Atlanta's first complete game*. He's also second in the NL with 12 wins. * 6 innings before rain began pouring in the top of the 7th.

I get that y'all are mad about that, but Baur using grip for one inning to jack his spin rate up to the Astro's pitching staff's level in Houston was aces.
