JameisofThrones 218 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Taylor Rogers gives it up. Doubt he's in any real danger since they are the first two runs he had given up this year but you never know if he starts to lose more chances to Romo if it's righty-heavy in the ninth, 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ecofolux 220 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 This Astros bullpen situation is getting interesting. Sneed pitched like crap and now Blake Taylor is coming into bail out the Astros. I have hopes for Taylor taking the "closer" job from Pressly. We'll see... Link to post Share on other sites

HaloFanatic17 425 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 He hasn’t thrown for several days and this is only his second appearance unless I’m wrong. I think he’s still rusty. Link to post Share on other sites
Ecofolux 220 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I said it before, I'll say it again, I think Blake Taylor is the guy who should be looked at from the Astros bullpen 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still using my#2 waiver claim on him tomorrow... Link to post Share on other sites

The announcers for the Astros today were talking about how Blake Taylor was Dusty Baker's boy and his "go to guy" to get out of trouble. Scrubb is behind Taylor in the pecking order.

varock 219 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Personally, I’d prioritize them as Pressly > Scrubb > Taylor. Scrubb pitched after Taylor, pitched better, and hasn’t allowed a run all season. But I’m not convinced they don’t just go full-on committee after this... Link to post Share on other sites
