I don’t think the Orioles have the starting pitching. Braves-Astros rematch.
He is a grade 40/45 prospect. He was the minor league HR leader and can play SS, 2 pretty significant positives. But he has consistently posted...
Within a full calendar year it is reasonable to consider any prospect already in AA or AAA to potentially be ready for the major leagues....
Crazy year. I wouldn’t want to face the Astros in the playoffs.
Sousa throwing 96, wow. Didnt know he had that kind of velo. Nice.
Great outing by Urquidy. Not sure they should run him out there for the 5th. Go with Brown for 2 innings.
Did they not option France and bring up another arm? If he’s not available why would they scratch him and leave the bullpen short a man???
My pitching plan: Fri: France 4ip, Urquidy 2ip, leverage based 7-8-9 (high leverage is Neris-Abreu-Pressly, low leverage is Maton-Stanek-Graveman)...
Season is probably over. Sucks.
This thread has more comprehensive breakdowns of Houston's rolling projections:...
Weiss or Young would be bad choices imho. Ausmus would be a terrible hire. I would be ok with Espada. Can’t think of a slam dunk hire.
Regardless of how the rest of this season plays out, I still believe Houston has a good chance to field the best team they’ve ever had next...
I truly believe the Rangers would throw games against the Mariners if it meant keeping the Astros out of the playoffs. Houston absolutely must...
I agree with this. While Framber and JV are good, neither has been the type of pitcher to single handedly stop losing streaks.
I think he’s making the most of his skillset. This isn’t luck. For one thing, he’s hit at this level before (2020 was a weird year, but he also...
One thing I think is extremely likely is that Jose Altuve will not play for a team other than the Astros. I just can’t see it. And seeing as how...
The main difference is that Crane has shown he’s willing to consistently field a top 10 payroll, unlike McLane. Unfortunately Crane does look...
Brantley gonna earn about $200k per plate appearance. Solid work if you can get it.
I don’t see how a tear down could possibly be in the plan. They only have 3 bad contracts (Abreu, Montero, and McCullers). The Astros will be...
This would be my ideal pitching staff roles for next season: 3 playoff caliber starting pitchers (Framber, JV, ???) 3 proven/upsdie BoR pitchers...
