First time I've seen Osuna this season. Rumors of his fatness have been severely exaggerated. It might be the dreads that add 10 lbs. Put him on a treadmill wearing a trash bag and he's back to normal. Astros win!
Of course all your decisions look better when you win, but I am impressed by how Baker has used the pen. Every guy has been effective with a good mix of getting veterans ready and testing some of the younger arms. Anyone realize that the bullpen has a ERA of 0.00 and a Whip <1 with 6 ip using 6 different relievers through the first two games? Yup! https://www.espn.com/mlb/team/stats/_/type/pitching/name/hou
Baker on Osuna:"He looked very good. We were trying to get him in tiptop shape to possibly be ready for the Dodgers series because he was behind because his test didn't come back on time. He told Strommy he was ready today." McCullers, Jr.: "Not the best game I've ever pitched but I showed flashes of what I've been working on and what I hope to do this year." He threw a strong 6 innings today in his first start is almost two years. Aledmys Diaz said his right groin strain is "between" a Grade 1 and Grade 2 strain.
'Stros won, A's lost, Rangers lost, Dodgers lost, and Yankees are so far losing. Looking like a good day so far.
