Besides for the 18-inning game, the Astros greatest strength (a large quantity of incredibly high quality pitching) has not been needed.
Technically his rookie year was 2016. He played 49 games and had 217 plate appearances. But every FULL season, yes
The Astros will smote the Phillies in Five from the Park of Minute Maid to the fortified City of Brotherly Love.
I talked to God and Satan today. They came to an agreement the hated Astros win in 6, but it will cost me my soul. I agreed, don't say I never did anything for this message board.
Cole left the Astros for a team we spank every time in the playoffs. Keep your extra money and your loser team dude. We don't need you. Once again we showed you and your Yankees who is the best team!!!!
Yep, with 9. Which is the lowest number the ML leader in passed balls has had since 1931 when the great(?) Rollie Hemsley also had 9. From what I can see there's never been a ML leader with few than nine.
I don't get the "Cole left for extra bucks" thing... Cole was never really an Astro in my eyes. Cole left because he hates being here, he left because he wanted to beat The Astros... That little stunt of not even wearing an Astros cap in his post game interview said it all for me. He was gone and he went to both the highest paying team and the team in his eyes gave him the best chance to pummel Houston the team he so desperately wanted to leave that he couldn't even bare wearing an Astros cap. He is not upset because he left a great team and potential World Series, he is upset because he hates The Astros and hates losing to them. Correa on the other hand did leave because of money, he is and always will be an Astro.
Their coaching staff sent out 'highlights' of their disaster against the Red Sox in 2004 as 'motivation' before game 4... And they face-timed Big Papi before the game... Just a weird bunch of guys in that club https://nypost.com/2022/10/23/yankees-sent-video-of-red-sox-collapse-for-motivation-vs-astros/
