The Astros also blast LHP. Getting to face Pomeranz at home is a great matchup for Altuve, Carter, etc.
I think I basically talked myself into taking hometown Stros tonight. Anyone got anything for the A's?
Not sure what theory you are referring to. Could you be more specific?
I mean, does everyone just decide to take major bong rips while shooting up heroin before coming on here and posting this garbage or are they just this stupid in actuality?

Lance McCullers (RHP – HOU)
The Astros need a starter today (Monday, May 18), and they have called up this 21-year-old to perform in that role. McCullers is having the best season of his career thus far after an inconsistent,walk-riddled campaign in 2014. He’s always had premium arm strengthand two plus pitches in his 91-97 mph fastball and curveball. Bothmiss bats regularly and can be used in any count. His fastball exhibits explosive late life down in the zone while his curveball shows great shape and velocity. McCullers has been very difficult tohit in 2015 because of his fastball/curveball combination, and he’s shown drastic improvement in his walk rate. There still are concerns, however, as he throws across his body and often has no idea where his pitches are going to end up, although he repeats his mechanics well. McCullers has strikeout capabilities but only when he knows where it's going. Regardless, when he’s on his game, he can dominate asmuch as any pitcher in the minors. When he’s not throwing strikes,he’s rather ordinary. Thing is, this is a Double-A pitcher making his first career start. He figures to be amped up and the result could be walk after walk so he cannot be recommended. McCullers could either gravitate towards the top of the rotation or be moved to a late-innings reliever where his two plus pitches would give him a chance to thrive. He has a career 3.79 ERA, 4.5 BB/9 and10.7 K's/9. He's worth watching but he's a pass today spotting a tag.
2015STATS: Corpus Christi (AA) – 6 g, 4 gs, 3-1, 0.62 ERA, 29 IP, 3.4 BB/9,13.3K's/9,1 HR, .146 oppBA
