    Pitch velocity, exit velocity. Those are the only 2 ST stats I give any attention to. They mean something even in small samples.

    I would say it means very little beyond exposure to the big league players for the kids.

    Chas being disrespected again. The only everyday player playing in the first game.

    There's no such thing as a "Forrest Whitley".....it's like believing that birds are real.

    He can't even get through 10 days of spring training without having a problem. The love affair with this guy around here is bordering on psychotic. He hasn't been an effective pitcher in the minors since 2017-18.

    We use hot wax baths. It's for assassins.

    Dude what love affair. As long as he is an Astros player most real Astros fans are going to hope he works out until he doesn't. The potential he showed when he was drafted was amazing.
    I dont think anyone is counting on him for anything. But like I said as long as hes on the roster I'll hope for the best

    Assassins don't take baths. They use unscented wet wipes and dry shampoo in the field...

    I wouldn't know. I only assassinate other people's egos.

    No, not a love affair.
    I would say hoping for a miracle.

    Its just always something with him.
    My expectations are just above zero.
    So news like this doesn't ruin my day.

    My initial response is to fire back, "Then stop shooting the bird at people!"

    I really was in Jr. High for a few weeks.
