Among pitchers with >10ip, Ferguson has the 4th best xfip on the team. Xfip adjusts for luck and fielding.
If you sort the Astros pitchers by xfip this season (min 10 ip), the top 9 guys made it. Ort was 10th, the only guys who made it over him with a...
Interesting roster. I wonder why Pedro Leon was left off the taxi squad. Crazy that Justin Verlander is on the team but not going to start a...
As good as Skubal is, the Astros hit lefties really well. Pena and McCormick are historically on another level against lefties. Same for Meyers....
Yordan gonna have his Willis Reed moment. Today’s game is extremely important. #understatement I predict Jake Meyers is the hero of the day.
I saw Pete Rose in Vegas one time. He was set up to sell autographs at a little table right near the lobby of a casino on the strip. No big sign...
I have always assumed the unspoken rule was if you cheat you don’t get in…while you’re alive. I expect Rose, Bonds, and Clemens to get in after...
Even though I’m the one who brought it up, I really don’t think Arenado makes a ton of sense. For me to like the Astros acquiring Arenado, they’d...
Contreras can play 1B. Gray can replace Kikuchi.
Cardinals confirmed they’re rebuilding. Arenado, Gray, and Contreras are likely to be dealt. All 3 could help Houston.
I’m guessing Caratini will play 1B.
Heyward against rhp, McCormick against lhp. C: Diaz, Caratini, Salazar IF: Singleton, Altuve, Pena, Bregman, Dubon, Dezenzo OF: Tucker, Meyers,...
I half wonder if they’ll have Kikuchi start game 2.
Yeah, the Astros are just gonna have to guess right on a bat, because they probably can’t afford any of the sure things and all the guys they can...
SP I would expect them to have some interest in: Kikuchi Pivetta Verlander Bieber Heaney Lynn Scherzer Morton I think they are in good shape...
I was only responding to the other poster’s comment. For me, I think Houston’s offseason needs are: An elite hitter who can play 3B, 1B, LF, or...
The real issue that Houston ran into this season was that they started the year with a weak/inexperienced AAA rotation. That forced them to hurry...
If you think Arrighetti will take another step and Blanco will sustain his 2024 first half, then Houston’s rotation is set and they do not need to...
There’s a lot of questions about this team for the next 1-3 seasons. How will Altuve age? Can Yainer take another step and be a true star player?...
Yeah the prospect ranking aspect of the prospect promotion incentive is bullshit. It should just be of a rookie is up all season and finishes in...
