The Astros have had a tough schedule and a lot of injuries. However they have a softer schedule coming up and if they play below .500 against the...
Well he is hitting .382 right now.
Yep, they are bad. I was using a euphemism. Neither one of these guys should be a starter on a club with World Series aspirations and it’s a GM...
Singleton on the season: .250 / .344 / .321 It’s better than Abreu, but those aren’t great for a 1B. He has negative WAR and an OPS+ of 98. All...
That was more than a full season in the past. Belt could drop off a cliff too, but he’s been good more recently than Abreu and is younger....
Abreu is 37 and has looked done for a year. Singleton is 32 and a career OPS under .600 and a negative career WAR. Belt had an OPS of .860 last...
If people want to talk about Espada as a manager, shouldn’t the comparison be to who else the Astros could have hired? Dusty isn’t with the...
Diaz was not a free agent. He signed an extension that covered 2 years of arbitration. Not really a comparable situation.
Meyers did not look good in that at bat.
Astros 10 hits 3 runs. KC 4 hits 3 runs. Been that kind of season so far. Time to pick it up.
In the last 3 years, only 1 catcher has started more than 120 games in a season (Realmuto 2x). In the last 2 years, no other catcher has more...
We knew middle relief would be an issue, but the bullpen 0-3 in 3 games is rough particularly with Abreu and Presley looking rusty.
With all the injuries and limited depth in the bullpen, right now the Astros need someone who can eat up innings more than they need an ace....
No disagreement there, but the larger pattern isn’t recent and the previous enablement is likely as much a factor as anything new.
I recall he had a problem punching people in the nads when he was who he used to be. Whatever his problem is, I think it predates your theory.
I thought that was less they let him go and more he wanted to pitch closer to home? He out pitched the contract he signed when leaving and the...
Bregman should get what he can get (as should all players). The $100M he’s already guaranteed meets my definition of generational wealth though.
So you think that Dusty is what the Astros need going forward? Or that he didn't make any questionable moves? Or that the Astros haven't shown...
Congratulations to Dusty on a long and storied career. He did what he was brought in to do and he leaves with division titles in every full...
The games isn't over, but if they do win I'm not sure why you think that a team that beat the Brewers, Dodgers, and Phillies in consecutive series...
