Astros Acquire Gerrit Cole

Does anybody have Gerrit Cole full press conference video?

 

Only 1 minute, come on Astros mlb site.

 

I’ve been reluctant on showing my excitement over us getting not only Cole but Rondon and Smith.

2018 will mark the most wins by any team ever. It will also bring back to back championships to the Houston Astros Organization.

So I’m pretty pumped.

 

So , you predict the Astros win 117+ games?

 

It's hard to know what the heart of a champion and the subsequent confidence that comes with it will bring to the table, but we'll have plenty of it coming out of the gates. The team should improve with that alone. We know we can get it done.

 

Yes.

 

After the trade was finalized, though, Boras offered this blunt, dour assessment: "David just gave Goliath his slingshot."​

So, we're Goliath now?? *like*

 

What if your #4 becomes a Cy Young candidate...?

This post presupposes that, uh, maybe he doesn't?

Nevermind

 

Without the injuries, last years Astros were on pace for like 120+ wins. Thank goodness they got as healthy as they were gonna be by playoff time.

Baseball records have a lot to do with managing depth charts, and minimizing potential for injury; hence staying healthy and being lucky. Of course talent is the key, but having your best players on the field and carrying the load, within reason.

With Garete Cole, the Astros have as good a chance as any team to win his start regardless who the opposing pitcher could be.

 

Is that good? Is the matrix broken?

 

He could have 6 or 7 wins.


Filthy.

 

Last pitch in a complete game is 99 MPH lol.

 

It appears with this Astros offense all they have to do is pitch a one hitter if they want to win a game.
