it's a tough pitch to look out for. Duran was throwing nothing but 95+ mph to victor most of the AB. Hell Duran even hit 101 at one point. To slow it down and still throw an 87mph. It's tough to prepare for that.
Thank you Cubs for trading Cam and E-Sock to the Astros for a year of above average but nothing too special year of Tucker.
The Tucker trade was so insanely good. 1. Parades is an absolute stud at 3rd base, offensively and defensively. Made us not miss Bregman at all. 2. Cam Smith belongs and has a bright future as an Astro. 3. Wesneski looks like a legit 4th starter and he's a hometown kid.

The Astros could have easily **** the bed on a Tucker trade. It happens all the time when trading a star player. Could have gotten a number of prospects that eventually fizzled out or never made it. But it really feels like a grand slam for them right now. Paredes and Smith have outdone the expectations and are major contributors to wins right now. Before his injury even Wesneski showed promise.
