Yep, Marwin will be ok playing everyday until Lowrie gets back. But I could see Fontana getting brought up for Villar, or maybe a trade for a...
Brought the family to the first game of the year on Saturday. For the past 3 years, we would buy tickets in Section 406 (upper decks in left...
Footnote 1 was interesting. Somewhat of an indictment on our front office's draft picks.
Don't forget Lowrie, who I think was our biggest free agent signing. I'm curious to see how the next 20 games go without Lowrie. He had the...
No King Felix? We've avoided him two series in a row against the Mariners. But Seattle has avoided Keuchel. Would be nice to see that matchup.
when was the last time that the Astros swept two series in a row? This start has exceeded everyone's expectations. I was hoping for a .500...
Yep, best off-season pickup this year. But as others have said, Lowrie is as fragile as Dexter Fowler. Sucks if he got hurt in the first month...
The deck seems more stacked against LJ this time around. Rasmus, Marisnek and Springer seem to have a lock on the outfield spots, with Grossman...
I would add Hernandez to this list. Seems like we have a strong 1 and 2, and Feldman is a solid 4 or 5 pitching in the 3 spot. Maybe Hernandez...
Yep, I see Gattis playing 1st base twice, Carter once in this series.
Looks like we're also getting the top of San Diego's order. These guys throw a lot of strikes. All have solid K/BB ratios. We'll see a decent...
Agreed. Kazmir has been awesome this year. Hopefully the Astros drive up his pitch count quickly and then chase the As bullpen.
This! In Springer's defense, he has the most potential to be a 3 hitter of anyone in the lineup. He certainly displayed that for half the season...
Well, we got the bottom of the Mariners rotation, which has been worse than ours.
JD Martinez
Well, Weaver did get shelled his first two times pitching this season, would be nice if our offense showed up tonight. We'll need 7 runs to win,...
I understand this mindset, i.e., that every GM is going to have some moves that don't work out (JD) and some that work out unexpectedly better...
I feel obligated to point out that JD Martinez has already hit 4 home runs. But in Luhnow we trust!
Yeah, we're not as bad as we're hitting right now (hitting below the Mendoza line as a team), but even when they play up to their normal level,...
That is likely the case, but isn't it wasting an option on Wojo just to get him to toss a few innings in relief? Not sure if that will come back...
