Probably the hardest job in baseball right now. Many FA's see how the Astros are treated around the league and want no part of it.
Its just amazing seeing a team like the Whitesox who are absolutely loaded in the bullpen. We have guys like Garcia, Maton, and Raley throwing big innings for us. Its interesting.
I'd it rather have been on Framber than bringing in Garcia. Much more likely that get the double play we needed.
Still don't now why Taylor was left off in favor of Garcia. Would have easily taken Odorizzi over him as well.
The bats were going to be what carried this team overall. I think it's going to be a little tougher without the horses that the team has had in the starting rotation in years past along with BP being up and down.
Garcia had been more than solid for the marlins and even matons advances stats were great with Cleveland. So I get you want to simp for Dusty but don't act like they weren't good arms when we got em
I prefer the Luhnow moves where you trade nothing for a Pressley and turn him into a high end reliever. By contrast Click takes Graveman and he regresses into a mediocre reliver.
Jim Kaat is 82 years old. I pretty much can guarantee you this will be the last game he ever broadcasts. He’s not coming back from that 40 acre remark I don’t think.
Stros hitting the ball harder. Just can't hit it out. Multiple warning track balls today. Unfortunate. Lets get a big hit Breg.. Its been a while.
Framber had been playing with fire all game. He had faced five batters that inning, everyone made contact with exit velocity of 97+ and he had given up 4 hits. The one out was a rocket. The jam shot single happens. The wild pitch that Maldy usually blocks is what really hurt.
