The closest thing the Astros have to a cult hero might be Strech Suba, the Astros' bullpen assistant for 36 years. Well, that cult hero is gone. Deputy Phelps mentioned it yesterday (and we were all too busy to be able to post about it).
Now Brian McTaggart has confirmed that Suba will not have his contract renewed.
Pour one out for Stretch today.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
