    Max is struggling big time in June .107 BA/ .469 OPS. But overall, the team is raking in June to the tune of .291 BA / .870 OPS.

    I would not assume Yankees or Red Sox win against Mariners when Mariners likely use Paxton and Diaz. I'd give them a slight edge over Mariners in a Wild Card game.

    He had an OPS over 1.000 his last week in May. I'm not going to make much out of a bad stretch of 8 games when the preceding 6 were amazing.

    Gattis became the first Astro in franchise history with 5 RBIs in b2b games.

    And they would likely use Severino/Sale in the WC game, so that would delay our seeing them by a few games.

    This is honestly one of my favorite gifs on here. Mostly because it means we are destroying the other team, but I also can't help but laugh every time.

    It was something about catch percentage.

    Jake's expected catch percentage is 89%. His actual catch percentage is 96%. That 7% difference leads the league. Regarding, Deshields high ranking, his expected catch percentage is 82% and actual is 88%.

    The Astros offense has restored order. Up to 2nd in wRC+.

    Second best offense, best pitching is a decent formula for success I'd say.

    This explains what another poster had questioned. DeShields is ranked highly because of the *difference*, not talent.

    That wrestling era was after my time, but that's some good brutal sells there, not surprised it's Bret Hart doing his job.

    When’s Minute Maid Park going to become Craig Biggio Park/Jeff Bagwell Park?
