    Straw couldn't hit 30 hrs locked in a park by himself

    He'll hit 30 bombs before LMJ makes 30 starts.

    Handshake bet?

    A healthy McCullers is a good McCullers. His stuff just plays.

    I’ll take that bet too

    Not that I think Lance ever makes 30 starts

    But straw wouldn’t hit 30 bombs at the Fort Bend County Little League park

    I think if LMJ gets in 15 starts this season, he's got a chance at 30 starts before he retires. There is some chance that you actually win this bet.

    I will say that if McCullers can make 15 starts, this might be a very good team.

    I don't think anyone can say that anything besides health keeps him from being one of the 3-4 best starters on this team.

    15 starts from him, taken away from a guy like Wesneski, Gordon, Gusto, etc is very likely to end up in more wins.

    At his best Lance averaged 94 on his FB. He can probably still be really effective averaging 92-93, so that he’s sitting 90 in 35 pitch bullpens after this long of a layoff seems like a good sign.

    He hasn't really ramped up either. I really hope they save him from himself, but let's hope for the best.

    I thought he looked good today. It’s great to have him back. I hope Lance can get through the season, we need him.

    I wonder if the Astros will use McCullers as an opener so he can break camp with the team.
