Me too. Something tells me he was mad about the shift. This is 2016, no? Still somewhat in the shift-infancy, Astros still trying to build a team based on the HR and starting to realize that strikeouts may not be a write-off consequence of more power. Keuchel hated the shift the entire time.
Remember the prospects well enough, forgot some of the other veterans though. Made me think about the what if machine of Aiken/Nix/Marshall instead of Bregman. What a dodged bullet.
I had completely forgotten about this. What a POS, take that crap to the clubhouse after the game. He had an axe to grind with the organization and that's why he sold them out. Again, much like the players, media, and fans that still whine about 2017, it's done to come up with an excuse for their own suckage. Fiers is a sucky pitcher but had to deflect blame and ire elsewhere. His fake "hold me back" is rich, considering he's too much of a p***y to even pitch against the Astros after he was so "brave" to come forward. Eff that guy.
