@RohanQ56 @heyyyscott Ask Marwin Gonzalez

@AstrosJosh Ray probably has Daikin Park PTSD from giving up that Yordan HR in game one of the '22 NLDS

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@BenOndaTop 4 years out, that’s still very cool

@ThatAstrosGirl Hey, once I had one that said “you love Chinese food”

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

Folks @DirtDiamondST threw cold water on Spencer Arrighetti’s success in our earlier podcasts

We were right unfortunately.

@BBGreatMoments Please no

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@JeremyBranham Nothing is wrong with the lineup. Spencer is walking a ton & giving up lots of hits.

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@JeremyBranham True

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@ryanbokros @PitchingNinja Good luck hitting that.

@HawkEmDownChris Bob Gibson

@JeremyBranham I'm usually an owners' guy in these deals, but what the owners are proposing has been guaranteed to fail. To be fair, nothing the owners propose will be acceptable; however, propose something that will get the fans behind you.

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@JeremyBranham This bullpen after an awful start has an ERA of around 3.30 since mid-April. I'll take that....

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@JeremyBranham The unsaid issue with piggyback starts is that it, by definition, forces you to option relief pitchers.

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@JeremyBranham It would surprise me none for the Astros to piggyback some starts

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@JeremyBranham TK & Blum said they thought they found a mechanical issue with his dropping a bit on the fastball. That caused it to run. The fix was to stay high with the delivery & stay on top of it.

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@OleTimeHardball and two of these guys are not in the top 4

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@OleTimeHardball Walter Johnson or Christy Mathewson

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@OleTimeHardball We're seeing one in real life. Yordan Alvarez is a HOF level hitter. He's one of the few power hitters who still hits for high average.

He's so smart & is a fantastic baserunner as well.

[Walt Penberthy @WPenberthy1961]

@HawkEmDownChris In those years, and there were many, when the Braves were terrible & they were down big fairly late, Skip would say "This game is so bad, that if you promise to patronize our sponsors, I give you permission to walk the dog".
