I can’t say the Astros offense would be any better than it is currently constructed.
“If a team calls, we’ll still listen,” Brown said. “Ultimately, we’re not making any decisions that are going to [negatively] affect our team....
It’s a little disappointing to see that Cam Smith is not raking. If his job is truly under competition, he is not winning anything yet.
I agree. However, I do you wonder what changes, if any, our batters have been making since changing hitting coaches. The only tangible change I...
Spring Training stats: Astros games: 1-2, 5-6, 6-6, 4-1, 0-5, 4-9, 4-4, 2-5, 3-4, 3-3, 3-1, 4-2, 0-2 (in progress) 37 runs scored through 13...
Winning limits whining.
The Astros have failed in these FA signings because they stuck in the veteran MLB pool seeking for older guys willing to take shorter term deals....
I wonder if Cam is cold in ST and he goes to AAA, who is more likely: Brice or Dezenzo or Loperfido (2 needed)? I lean Loperfido and Dezenzo, but...
Sure enough—it felt like I was forgetting someone.
Barring any moves, do the Astros already have their 13 hitters locked in? Diaz Salazar Walker Altuve Peña Correa Alvarez Meyers Smith Dezenzo...
Completely agree. This is a previous regime, but Carlos Lee was the wrong player; whiffed on Beltran. Big whiff. They don’t hit on FA well.
It is interesting that most of their “oops’” come in longer, higher dollar contracts.
Yeah. Dana Brown laid out a pretty clear picture today. Either the Astros get that ideal LH OF or they get Paredes lots of ABs via prescribed rest...
A reporter asked Espada a few weeks ago. He said no.
This is probably true for every team. Even as loaded as the LAD are, losing Ohtani probably costs them 5-10 games.
I think they could survive Hunter’s loss. Alvarez would be brutal again.
Assuming Giolito signs for a lower $ amount, he could be a reasonable addition for the Astros.
Yeah. The season succeeds or fails based on Alvarez.
Thank you!!
Against LHP, he would be a good fit. The Astros are looking for a cheap vet option to mess with teams game plans.
