Carter is extremely streaky, and appears to be in an upswing right now. Even some of his out are just missed, when he makes contact anyhow. We'll see how his overall numbers look when the dust settles at years end. I really don't care about the K's if he's still productive. And our young pitchers are really dealing. Peacock, Cosart and Obie have looked great. Hopefully Lyles has snapped out of his funk and can get back to his prior solid work. Could be an interesting rotation next year.
haha! los angeles angeles of angels of anaheim of california of mexico! a zillion dollar pay roll and you can't hit us.
Carter is good on the road and absolutely horrible at MMP. In roughly the same at bats... MMP: .166/.275/.348/.623 (9 HRs) Road: .259/.346/.534/.880 (14 HRs)
MMP is a neutral park. I don't know if he tries to hard for the Crawford boxes or what, but there is no tangible reason he should be worse there than on the road.
Yep. There is something going on there. If he can turn his road splits into home splits he will be a very good DH.
So apparently umpires from another base can overturn a fairly routine tag decision at second base? I've watched baseball for a very long time and have never seen anything like that.
It will be interesting to see exactly what their reasoning was. Although they appeared to get the call right, it is a bad precedent to set. Porter should be out there every time there is a close play that goes against Houston asking the umpires to convene.
Really liking what Grossman is doing. Clearly improved upon some deficiencies from his earlier stint in the big leagues where he struggled.
Both Grossman and Hoes have bright futures ahead of them. I could definitely see one of them sticking on the next contending team as a utility OF, maybe even a starter.
