#Astros pitchers are much improved in past month.
LH panel shows Astros 2026 Team ERA. If they get 2-3 more good outings, they will pass the As. Take a look at the middle panel. Astros are 8th in MLB in past 15 days with a 4.04 ERA. The RH panel shows the Astros Team ERA for the past month. 3.98!

Good article in NYT about GOP resistance to the #Iran deal. (Unlocked)
Nikki Haley explained “It’s a huge mistake to pay to rebuild the threat we just destroyed.”Perhaps. But a better president would have extended the #Obama deal rather than resorting to killing.

So, I guess they are no longer “awful” as I argued earlier this week.
Last night, Teng had 9 Ks, but he allowed 3 HR & 5 ER in 3.1 IP. Flashy maybe, but ineffective.
#Astros pitchers are
10th in SO (627; MIL is 1st @ 675)
29th in BB (340; SEA is 1st @ 190)
28th in WHIP (1.44; LA is 1st @ 1.09)
25th in HR (95; NYY is 1st @ 61)
29th in ERA (4.95; ATL is 1st @ 3.29)
#Astros
Murray was immediately impressive. Wasn’t he? How long until the #Astros can recall Santa?
Just because a player HAS options does not mean you should use them.
Dear #Democrat candidates,
My policy for political contribution texts:
If it says “I humbly ask for your donation” or “if everyone just pitched in a dollar”, then I just delete it. OTOH if it rage baits, uses star testimonials, uses a poll to bilk me, or any other device, I delete & report spam.

PSA
The US #constitution requires 2/3 of the #US #Senate to approve a #treaty before ratification.
The treaty that #Trump is working on with #Iran (as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding) may not get 50 votes let alone 67.
Pay $300 Billion in reparations? Lol
@jmszpila.bsky.social this is why I’m having a hard time calling the Astros mediocre. Their team ERA is historically bad for this club.
In 2013, they lost 111 games. Their team ERA was 4.79 (30). Compare that with 4.95 (29) today. They’re not going to lose 111 games. But without Yordan…
