I’m guessing the Yankees are somewhat fed-up of signing inconsistent/injury-prone pitchers. Or they’re just going to sign him next year for even...
LOL. It was also amazing how many people spoke jive on that flight.
True… but nobody is blaming an airline for that. It’s the plane-maker.
Once you’re on the actual plane (and presuming it’s not a very long international flight)… I don’t think any one airlines can possibly do anything...
One thing the Astros front office can possibly use to recruit players… “You’ll make even more money after you play with us for just a little bit!”...
By head-case… you mean he’s fallen in love with his sinker that when he gets it up to 98-99mph, has very little sink. That and his ankle injury...
Dominated/won both his starts that series. That's only happened a limited amount of times throughout this golden era, with all the playoff series...

But is he really telling his GM's not to spend? Or is he relying on them improving that area of the roster via the methods his previous GM's have...
Has this really been an issue year after year though? Intentionally skimping on a part of the roster and just throwing anything on the wall that...
Exactly. People started worrying about this TWO years ago... and yet if a corresponding player signed a 3 year deal now, nobody would be...
Considering a closer to very much be a "supporting part", I'd say him splurging on Hader was certainly a change of where he's traditionally...
There's certainly a component of this whenever these stories get tweeted... mainly because the Astros don't ever leak stuff to this level...
Its no surgery for now. He's going to rest 4-8 weeks. Then start throwing again. If there is any flare-up or re-aggravation of the soreness,...
