Nice dominant win. If the bats can bring it on a consistent basis, this pitching staff is just scary.
Feliz should get serious consideration to make the post season pen. He honestly could probably be a dominant closer now. I hate to use an elite arm like Feliz long term in the pen, but I wouldn't be shocked if he is the Astros closer next season.
We have 2 guys we should consider, Feliz and VV, both could be very good in the bullpen. They don't have the experience, but, I prefer them over Neshek right now.
Brent Strom needs a raise. Who had any idea our entire staff would be this good. Post all star stats are unbelievable.
Colin McHugh is a really good pitcher. Even if we don't re-up Kazmir, our rotation is looking nice moving forward. Conger's HR gives us 10 guys in double digits. 11 ties the record, 12 sets a new one. Gonzalez has 9, Marisnick has 7, Lowrie has 6.
lowrie heating up is absolutely enormous. hopefully springer doesn't go through the same struggles coming off his injury.
Ervin Santana is a pitcher that will give you a 4 ERA with a whip in the 1.29 range, those numbers are not bad, but not good either. We should be able to get 3 runs off him, maybe 4, meaning, if McCullers allows 2 or less, we win.
