Astros ace Hunter Brown to 15-day IL with shoulder strain

Good that the Astros are taking precautions, so as no to strain the health of their elite players. Missing 2 games should be fine because there is depth, as there is plenty of season left to ride with a healthy Hunter.

 

That’s probably our season.

wow what a super buzzkill

 

where have you been the last few years. “15 day dl” = out for the year. Season dead

 

Facts, unfortunately

 

Better than elbow discomfort. Breaking out the rosary to pray on this Easter Sunday.

 

Is it better?

Hader been out 6 months now.

Elbow or shoulder usually means done for the season in today’s game.

 

I like the optimism. I don't agree with it, but I like it.

 

Next thing you know, Yordan will be out 10 days due to mild-shoulder discomfort. LMJ will need to skip a month to rest and Walker needs to sit due to a pulled hamstring.

 

let's see what dana brown is made of now that his ace is down

 

Things were going too well for Astros fans. It felt too good and you knew the other shoe was going to eventually drop.

 

Bad enough to miss half a month...

 

Hate to see it.

Consistent problems with our arms...

Torquing out pitcher after pitcher...not coincidence.

 

That would be fine but we all know it’s a fantasy.

 

…

 

Definitely a MINIMUM rather than a projection.

 

Any chance Espada eats **** over having him throw so many pitches in his first start? Maybe there’s a silver lining here.

 

Notice how the arm injuries have increased since Espada took over as manager, or is this just my imagination?

 

The 2017 Astros were throwing out Mike Fiers and 4 AAAA pitchers in the middle of the season for a while. I believe the 2023 Astros were a mess as well (Dusty) while the 2024 Astros were pretty healthy (Espada).
