    Valid question: Shouldn’t the Astros team store now produce the JV Gold jersey? He was integral to the team last year… and is on the team now this year. I mean Corey F’ing Julks got a gold jersey…

    So…..y’all trust him not to not up in the postseason? I recall a lot of anger being directed his way in the postseason runs.

    His K's are gradually climbing - also the last 30 days and he has an era of 2.00.

    He doesn't typically goes as deep as he did, he goes mostly 5-6 innings now.

    He has given up 17 runs in 65 innings in the last two months ..... for an era of 2.28.

    He is always an injury risk, but he seems to have found himself.

    My son and I just left the team store at 3PM. We were grabbing some additional gear to rock for Yankees series this weekend. They were closing it at 3:30PM. There were a ton of boxes and a lot of staff working on things.

    His injury at the begging of the season might have been the best thing to happen to him. Less workload going into this year's postseason.

    being on a much better team than the sorry ass mets will help extend to his usual 6/7 innings outings

    Falling down and throwing the ball off your own shin? Unfortunately, yes. Yes it is.
