Houston Asterisks

Who would have thought that Joe Kelly would be the guy that would start throwing at Houston Astros.  He was still in Boston in 2017.  Of course that Boston team lost to the Astros in the 2017 playoffs so maybe he's still sore about that.  Either way an 8 game suspension is preposterous.  

Of course the nice thing is that The Dodgers swept the adorable little two game mini-series.  They did with an offense that has not come together.  They are leaving a ton of tunner out there and they are looking at a lot of strikes.  It feels like they haven't been able to rinse all the of Turner Ward off of them.  Mookie Betts and Cody Bellinger are hitting a combined .196 with only 5 RBIs.  On the bright side they have only struckout a combined 8 times so they are going to figure it out.  It's just that the 60 game season makes it all so urgent.   

It should also be in here that AJ Pollock deserves an apology for that cardboard cutout joke.  He's only had 12 ABs but he's hitting .500 and some of those have been absolute rockets.

So right now they are 4-2 and that has been mainly around starting pitchers have a very decent 2.96 ERA and a bullpen with an outstanding 1.14 ERA.

Once the offense really gets going they will probably go 58-2 for the season.

Right?
