    Might be in for a long game tonight. The article I read on Lambert made it sound like he couldn't cut it in Japan. Tells you the state of our SP right now that he's getting the start.

    Who knows, but Lambert has good stuff. His fb was up to 96 in AAA this year. I am often wrong but I would not be surprised if Lambert looked good tonight. I was surprised Weiss struggled as much as he did yesterday. I feel really good about Weiss, Lambert, Burrows, and Arrighetti in terms of ceiling, just a matter of them consistently performing (and luck).

    Maybe he was having an Imai type situation.
    Did he fire 3 interpreters?

    Lambert 8-19 career record w/a 6.28 ERA. Career WAR -0.7.

    Hasn’t pitched in MLB since 2024.

    Good luck. Where does Dana find these pitchers?:confused:

    Josh Hader to 60 day DL.

    Okay.

    Can’t say I feel really confident about this team.

    Crane needs to investigate the validity of his medical staff's accolades.

    Astros health predictions need extrapolation in dog years.

    Just to clear space on the 40 right? I think Josh will be back way sooner than 60 days.

    Yes, sounded like just a procedural move, retro active, etc.

    Next 2 turns thru the “rotation” will tell me the story. If Burrows/Lambert/Weiss/Arrighetti don’t look damn good and the back end guys don’t look up to filling the gap then it’s over. A shame too because with Walker and Smith clicking the lineup is championship quality.

    Earliest he can come back now is late May. Pretty much what was expected anyway.
