At his age, the Astros might even want to extend Herrera for a couple years through the 2020 season.
It's been said that Kelvin Herrera is on the trading block so if the Royals do what they are expected to do this year (i.e. play pretty poorly),...
Lefty batters hit .305 off Perdomo last year so good to see the lefty bats in the lineup tonight.
Ottavino just stood out to me as I looked up where the Astros relievers rank against the rest of MLB. I guess I just like to watch/follow baseball...
Very early stats on MLB relievers show Rondon and Peacock among the Top 15 as ranked by FIP. Rondon comes in at #10 with a FIP of -0.37 while...
Realistically, Kyle Tucker would do well to hit for a league-average OPS of around .750 during his first few months in the majors. He still needs...
Yep. When the Padres series starts, Giles and Sipp will have had no in-game pitching for four straight days.
Peacock for AL All-Star Team. Start the balloting now.
Stassi is due to go yard
McCann has been on such a hitting streak, I'd have preferred to seem him out there, at least as DH if not C. Also, Bundy tends to struggle more...

No reason to get upset at all. Defenses know that they are inviting the bunt when they overshift, so can't blame the offense for actually...
Chase Sisco of the Orioles bunted against the shift vs the Twins yesterday and Brian Dozier got all uptight about it. Sisco's approach in that...
I think along the same lines about White. He may not have put up a huge batting average this spring, but he made good contact on the ball so if...
What is Jake's HR pace?
Keuchel hit 91.8 max velocity today. Rondon hit 98.1. Baseball Savant lets you follow pitcher velocities in real time during games:...
Over the two games combined, Astros hitters have had 15 ABs with runners in scoring position. And out of all that, only one hit (Stassi's double...
