    [Official] Astros Offseason

    Chazzy Fizz’s catch was instrumental in locking down our second title. So defense isn’t meaningless. But relative to the value of quality...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    I have wondered if Bat WAR and HR are more valuable to title contenders, but defensive and baserunning WAR is cheaper and thus a better value to...

    2025 Hypothetical Astros Trades Thread

    dumb me had brown at 2 years of control. Yep, 3 years of brown is way beyond 1 of skubal, including for the dodgers.

    Astros trade for Mike Burrows

    I don’t see a lot of hate on this trade, at least not on CF.

    very useful exercise. Maybe Pena can play more than 144. Maybe Altuve a little less. But that’s details. Your exercise shows that the max...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    The current roster can be managed, but it will drive us fans crazy if we get off to a bad start, string together games where we struggle to score,...

    don’t get me wrong, I’d totally love having him on my team. He is a valuable pitcher with a ton of arm talent. I just wouldn’t give up what you...
