Bregman becomes the 6th player in franchise history with multiple 30-HR seasons. Spoiler Bagwell - 9 Berkman - 5 Davis - 3 Wynn - 2 Alou - 2 SIX other Astros can either match this achievement or notch their first 30 this season.
Osuna could use some clean innings. A 25-pitch successful save has value, but might render him available the next day/inning. Plus, regaining some dominance wouldn't hurt either.
I'm just questioning why the poster I responded to wrote that Osuna was averaging giving up two runs a game
But he is not giving up anywhere near two runs a game...so, as I wrote, I was curious as to where he got that stat
He gets over a strike out an inning and almost never walks anyone. His WHIP is under .90 .... he is fine.
Entering today, he'd allowed 3 runs his last 1.2 innings. TWO run average if you round up Bottomline, Osuna needs to play better.
Dodgers and Yanks lose too but I still don't feel good about us catching up. It will be a tight finish for sure.
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sp...der-Takeaways-from-series-vs-A-s-14342185.php For how terrifying their lineup is, the Astros are only average with runners in scoring position. They entered Sunday’s game hitting .265 — 13th among 30 major league offenses — and dropped it to .263 with their putrid performance. Their .836 OPS with runners in scoring position is seventh in baseball. More concerning is their on-base percentage in these situations. It’s only .348. Fifteen major league teams are better. It suggests the Astros struggle with something they often pride themselves upon — passing the baton from one batter to another and stringing innings together. For me, this helps explain why its seems like we should be better than we are.
