"I knew we were in for a long season when we lined up for the national anthem on opening day and one of my players said, 'Every time I hear that song I have a bad game.'" - Jim Leyland
Oh no, not again.
Crappy way to start a new thread.
10-5 Astros.

I have a feeling this is Lilly’s last inning.

Doubtful.
I could see him pitching for an audience in 6 days or so.

Lilly is ion pace to get 300+ runs in support
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
with that support those HRs mean nothing
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
That depends.
130 solo HRs? okay.
130 3-run HRs? No good.

Well 3 of the 4 have been solo homers, FWIW.

All right, Lilly! No more HR's allowed!

he hasnt faced Pitt yet
so there will be some without a HR :-)

Lilly is toast
Glad he pitched in that worthless WBC!
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
not this crap again
will you also blame Soto’s shoulder on the WBC?
Lilly has ALWAYS given up a lot of HRs and with the short LF its gonna happen in Hou
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
WBC was and is worthless
and screws up guys every time. Oswalt looked wasn’t the same either.
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
Yep
all 2 of them.

i'm not a WBC defender
its just a “everytime” should apply to something that happens more than twice.
I think the WBC is at a horrible time, esp for pitchers.
